When I had cancer and needed extra help, Jen made me feel like she had me covered. Linus has liked every one of his walkers over the years, and I've trusted them all with my dog. Linus used to be dog reactive, and still wants to chase cats, and everyone has handled him with professionalism and competence. Highly recommend JDWS.

I never worry when Gus and Granger are out with Jen and her team; they take care of our babies like they're their own. I appreciate the communication and flexibility that Jen provides.

I feel so thankful to have found Jen and her team. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to help get their dogs out!

She took our sweet, shy, overly anxious little pup and made him feel at home within a short son of three weeks (2-3 times exposure for day care) before we let him stay overnight.

Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

But with Danny's off leash hiking and beach service, I have a tired (happy) dog all the time. We started using Doggie Adventures about 5 months ago and Tele LOVES Danny. Whenever Tele saw Danny and his Van, his tail wiggled like turbo and jumping up and down to greet him. This must be the best off-leash service that includes pick up, drop off and clean up in the bay area. Great things about Danny's services: - Flexibility - He will text me when he is 15 mins away, so I can get Tele ready. - Including pick up, drop off and clean up - Highly recommend for high energy pup - He CARES about your dog If you are on the waitlist, it WORTH to wait because this is the must have service for your pup .

Danny takes care of every dog in his group like his own, with individual attention for their exercise, wellbeing and pack bonding behavior. He usually picks Julius up in the morning, and after a full day at the beach drops him off late afternoon. Particular attention is also paid to limiting the group size for space and specialized monitoring. What we particularly love about Danny's service is his flexibility for scheduling, timely text communication, personable attitude, and his real interest in pet care. This is definitely a must-have service if you can get on the waitlist!

We sometimes suspect that he likes being at her place more than he likes being at home. Samantha has always been great about providing us with regular updates and photos. She has a backyard where he can run around and relieve himself. But most important, she's so caring -- she would sometimes even ask us how he's doing after he came home. So we always have complete faith that she will make sure he's well taken care of.

For me, that was a great sign that he created a bond with another person. I usually drop my dog off four times a week and so far the same thing he does not want to leave. Samantha is such a kind soul. She loves the animals and she loves what she does and you can definitely tell she has experience with all breeds, and most importantly, she knows dogs, body language, which is hard to find with somebody, my dog is a blue heeler pitbull mix and people don't know how to handle his behavior and know how to recognize when he's having a temper tantrum. Samantha is definitely experienced and seasoned. She knows how to take care of large dog breeds pit bulls pretty much all dog breeds. For my people out there who are looking for someone who can manage pitbull behavior, and actually find someone to take care of their pitbull She is the person. I don't want to give my business to anyone else, because not only does my dog have a great relationship with her in a bond as well. Have a great relationship with her. She is so kind like I said before and very understanding. There's been times where I forgot my dogs essentials and she already had it , she's such a wonderful person and she's doing so many good things such as training and keeping up with the regiment I have my dog on she takes the dogs to the dog park and overall she make sure that they are very happy.

Desperate to get my pups more calm and my neighbors more sleep, I contacted Michelle to see if she could come by to walk my babies each day until I came back, which was a huge ask since she didn't meet my dogs or meet me! However, she was so flexible and made it happen. I have one pup that Is SOOO scared of people and won't walk even when other people try to walk her so I was nervous she wasn't gonna walk (or that she would bite Michelle for trying to put on her harness). But Michelle was so professional and spent extra time calming them to get them out on their walk. By the second day, my doggies knew Michelle and allowed her to walk them. On top of that, I kinda messed up a couple times with scheduling and Michelle was really patient and understanding with me . I really appreciate business owners like Michelle and would recommend her to everyone. 10/10

We recently moved to a new home and the team was quick to match us to the right walker route so we didn't have an interruption in service. Joe and his team (especially Troy and Anthony) have been great with my now-9.5 year old dog.

Really appreciate their continued care and great work!

My schedule is SUPER variable - sometimes I don't need them for a few weeks, and then I'll suddenly need them twice a day! They're incredibly flexible, reliable, and accommodating. When our pups were really small and couldn't be alone for more than a few hours, they came over at all sorts of inconvenient times to make it possible for us to live our lives (e.g., walks at 8pm on a Saturday night when we had theater tickets in SF). We're so grateful. They're also total pros at handling dogs - we were dog-sitting for a friend so I had three dogs for a while, and they walked all three together without any trouble. I'm in awe :-) Also, for health reasons, we aren't spaying our pups until they're about a year old, so when they go into heat, all my normal activities with them (dog park and beach trips) are suddenly out - and I need a lot of help getting them enough exercise. In those times, I've been particularly grateful to Joe and his team. Thanks guys!!
