I came home from a short trip to find my dog greeting me at the door, not secured in her crate as I…read morewas told she would be in the emails I received. We do not let our dog free-roam when we are not home, and our house was not set up for it. There was trash in the trash cans that she could have eaten, and any number of things she could have gotten into that could be harmful to her. She also urinated and pooped on the carpet. In my bedroom. So I was cleaning that up at midnight after traveling. And of course I cannot stop smelling it. It's going to take getting the carpet cleaned. We have had this dog for 5 years and this is the first time she has EVER peed or pooped in the house. She also peed and pooped again when I took her out when I got home. This is very outside of normal for her and it makes me wonder if she was actually getting let out on her visits. I will be checking our cameras to see.

Unlike other dog walkers in the downtown Portland area, Patricia and her team don't mind going the…read moreextra mile (literally) for someone's pet. Patricia took the time to get to know both my dogs and understand their individual needs. She worked with them for a month before she played matchmaker with her staff and found the perfect walker, Jason, for my critters. They LOVED him from the first time they met him. He's a confident guy and can easily handle my boy who is still working on polite leash skills around strange dogs. And Jason is also gentle enough for my girl, who is usually terrified of strangers and cowers around men. After each walk, I get a text update along with a handwritten note about the day. I even get photos (attached to this review)! Jason not only walks them, picks up after them, and wipes their paws upon returning home, but he also plays fetch with them and makes sure they're happy and relaxed before he leaves. I definitely recommend Portland Mutt Strut to anyone in Portland!

Rae is so good at communicating changes/updates to clients, and she works with a team of knowledgeable dog walkers who genuinely love and care for the dogs they spend time with every day. They are reliable, they always show up on time, and they've clearly put a lot of work into helping Daisy become a better-trained dog. My dog gets SO excited when Cali or Theresa arrive to walk her. They send me pictures of the goofy things Daisy did and give you a little update after each walk. My dog comes home happy and tired after her walks, which is exactly what I want. I'd recommend Ruff Mutts to anyone with an active dog in Portland.

In the month between diagnosis and having to say good bye Rae was so amazing. She was flexible and responsive to my and Hugo's needs on any given day. She had been his dog walker for a while so I already knew that she would be loving and attentive and that he would be comfortable around her. It took a huge load off of my mind knowing that Rae would be by to check on my pup. She had always been great as a dog walker - sending pictures and videos so you know your friend is out having fun, leaving little notes and special little treats for you to give your pup when you get home. I can't say enough good things about Rae and Ruff Mutts. They are wonderful people and do an amazing job. Your kitty or pooch would be lucky to know them!

She came over prior to the start of the scheduled potty breaks and she was very generous in the amount of time she spent here so my dog could have the opportunity to check her out and feel more comfortable with a stranger in his home. I admit that I am a bit anxious about my dog and she did everything she could to help allay any concerns I might have about how he would respond to her. Her knowledge of dog behavior made her a clear choice when I was considering how to get his needs met while hubby was away on a business trip (usually works from home). And she made great progress with gaining my dog's trust during the 4 days she helped us out. I couldn't be more pleased with how she handled his challenges, I will definitely be contacting her again.

In November 2012, Beau (a pitbull/boxer rescue) had failed three dog daycare evaluations. Unfortunately, he has a lot of energy and it made the options to keep him socialized and entertained while I was at work during the day pretty bleak. I started looking at every daycare alternative and eventually found Trailblazing Tails. I set up a consultation with Tricia and all of the worries I had went away; she is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and body language. She then took Beau for a walk around the neighborhood to evaluate his behavior and shortly after that they were running 5 miles twice a week. She started out just running Beau by himself, but now five months later, he is running with his own little pack of 3 to 4 dogs and absolutely loves it! Tricia also gives reports after each run, including distance or time ran, what dogs she ran with, whether he went to the bathroom or not and sometimes even a picture.
