This might sound a little unconventional, but I…read morejust hosted a 10th birthday party for my dog here after he went through a really intense health journey last year so this milestone meant everything to my family and I. From the very beginning, the process was incredibly smooth. Reaching out through their website and coordinating the booking for a non-hosted event was so easy, and the communication was clear, responsive, and genuinely helpful. The space itself was absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking for to celebrate with close friends and family. Everything came together seamlessly, which made the day even more special and stress-free. I catered food and brought my own decor and it was an easy set up and takedown. I'm so grateful to the team at Top Dog SF for helping make this meaningful celebration possible. I would 100% book here again. Thank you so much!

On October 26, 2023, I was walking my dog on the designated on-leash path near the clubhouse/lake area in Stern Grove when we encountered Adam Teitelbaum walking a pack of approximately 6-8 dogs. Every dog in his pack was off leash, despite this being an on-leash area. Two of the dogs approached us, and one suddenly attacked my on-leashed dog, biting her on the neck. The attack quickly escalated as several of the other dogs became aroused and ran over, mauling my dog. The dog clamped onto her neck and would not let go while I desperately tried to separate the dogs and protect her. During the struggle, I fell to the ground and injured my hip. What upset me most was Adam's response. He remained more than 10 feet away and did not physically intervene while the attack was taking place. If he called his dogs back, I did not hear it. The dogs eventually returned to him on its own after the attack. My dog suffered multiple bite wounds to her neck and body and required veterinary treatment. While the owner of the attacking dog paid the expensive veterinary bills, that does not erase the physical and emotional trauma my dog and I experienced. Adam was responsible for handling a large pack of dogs, all of them off leash, in an area where leashes are required. Based on what I witnessed, I do not believe he maintained adequate control of the dogs in his care or responded appropriately during a serious emergency. Although he told me he was not responsible because the attacking dog belonged to a client, I believe a professional dog walker has a responsibility to follow park rules, keep the dogs under control, and take immediate action when a dog attack occurs. Adam may be friendly, but based on my experience, He is an incompetent dog walker with poor judgment. What stays with me most is not only the attack itself, but watching a professional dog walker stand by while my dog was being attacked.

Carla is just the best!…read more Our overactive border collie absolutely loves her. Carla takes the dog pack out for super long off leash walks and when Jack comes home he naps for hours. She's very flexible with scheduling and always accommodates us if we're out of town or have a change in our schedule. She also does boarding which has worked great for us on weekend getaways when we can't bring Jack. They get kongs every night and we think Jack may start to like Carla more than us

OMG, Alia is incredible! We had to leave our 14 month old puppy for a 12 day work trip (SO GLAD TO…read moreFINALLY BE HOME!) and we had so much anxiety leaving him for this long for the first time. I cannot even begin to tell you how reassuring it was to see photos and videos of Moose playing and romping around in Golden Gate park and Alia's amazing backyard. Because of those regular updates we were able to really focus on our trip and let go of that worry. MOST importantly though.. we cannot say thank you to Alia enough. Moose is an 80+lb monster and we hadn't been the greatest at training him as much as we would have liked. He pulled, his recall was bad, and he lunged happily at new dogs a lot. NONE OF THAT EXISTS anymore. He stays when he's told, he doesn't pull, and he comes when called almost immediately. We were flabbergasted on our morning walk with him after coming home. Just wow. Alia, thank you thank you thank you thank you. You've not only given us peace of mind but you've given us a happier and more well behaved puppy. We're eternally grateful and so thankful for you.

After 6 years of working with Miller's Menagerie, and recommending them to so many people, it…read moreabsolutely pain and saddens me to have to write about my most recent (and last) experience with Jonathan. Please see below for the message I had to send: I think it goes without saying that effective immediately, Daisy will not continue to be under your "care" in any way. After speaking with multiple friends with dogs, other dog walkers and her veterinarian, there is not a single person who thinks what transpired today was remotely okay. You not only told me you'd drop her off in the morning and didn't communicate a change of plans, but I had to go looking for her. Using her GPS collar, I found her sitting in the back of your van, in full sun, on a 70+ degree day with the front windows cracked one inch. She was with at least one other dog that I saw. She sat in these conditions for 1.5 HOURS. Not for an emergency or a car repair or an accident, but because of soccer?! Those priorities do not work for me. According to our veterinarian, it takes a 75 degree day to kill a dog in this way. She came home, and for the second time this week after your "care" she drank half her entire water bowl in one go. The first time she did this a few days ago, I thought it was a fluke but now I'm starting to put it together. Even more bewilderingly, this was an ELEVEN minute drive from my house and I was home the entire time wondering where my dog was. After looking at her GPS more thoroughly, I realized that she spent the night near Santa Cruz, at an unknown location for 17 hours. I did not giving my permission to take Daisy out of San Francisco, especially with her injury. It doesn't matter if it was *only* a 70 degree day, it doesn't matter that she was okay, NOTHING you could reply to this trying to justify your actions is valid. I know Daisy, and I know these conditions would make her, or any animal, very stressed. After 6 years, I feel angry, upset, betrayed and sad that our working relationship has to end like this but you've lost my trust to take care of her. Drop my keys off tomorrow- you can leave them under the mat and pick up your leash/ it will be hanging on the door.

They are very accommodating to last-minute time changes since my work schedule - reasonably priced - they occasionally send photos to you throughout the work day and send you a lot more early on to reassure you which is nice - the outside time is closely monitored but off leash and in a park which Olive loves - They're careful to towel her off if she gets crazy dirty. (We have white couches..) - employees genuinely seem like they're super compassionate and love dogs. Olive gets overwhelmingly excited whenever she hears me open the gate for them. - they text! Makes updates super easy I sincerely love Miller's Menagerie and will continue to use them for as long as we live in SF! Photos below are ones they've sent to me of Olive on walks!
