Emma's been walking my two dogs since summer 2021. I feel so lucky to have found such a trustworthy, caring and reliable person to walk my dogs. I have a high-energy, extroverted puppy that needs a midday power walk while my other dog is a shy senior who prefers short strolls. Somehow, Emma's figured out how to cater to both of their needs...simultaneously. My dogs adore Emma and look forward to seeing her every Tuesday and Thursday. Emma's also been a positive influence on my dogs -- they no longer bark/carry on when she arrives and are better walkers all around. I appreciate that Emma is so good with them, captures sweet photos on walks and (when necessary) goes through the hassle of getting them in/out of their winter gear. I highly recommend Resevoir Doggies! read more

Reservoir Doggies - Resevoir Doggies walking Bo & Lulu - Dog Walkers Near Me

My girls absolutely love Emma! Being new to the area I was extremely hesitant to reach out to someone to walk my pups while I'm at work, but very grateful for Emma. You can tell she loves what she does. One of my girls is a lot more reserved than the other, but she still really took to her quickly and that says a lot. Emma is super reliable, she's easy to work with your schedule, and prices very reasonable. Overall I have no complaints and couldn't have found a better match for my girls! read more

See all

I have had a truly great experience with Reservoir Doggies and couldn't recommend them more highly! When I moved to Minneapolis, I was worried that it would be hard to find someone who worked well with smaller dogs, given how many bigger dogs there are around here, but it was a seamless transition working with Emma and it has been a great experience for my little guy exploring the neighborhood and meeting new friends. He gets so excited for his walks and smiles from ear to ear when he gets back home. read more

Anyone living in LA knows what it takes to make ends meet. This usually means long hours at our jobs, or even side hustles in addition to our day jobs. The struggle for those of us with furry family members is making sure they are taken care of when we can't be there for them. Emma and the Reservoir Doggies team to the rescue! Our pups have been going on daily adventures with Emma for years at this point. When I occasionally work from home I get to see how excited they are when Emma or Jason show up to take them out, so I know this is a highlight of their days. One thing I have long appreciated about Reservoir doggies is the 1:1 commitment to our critters. We had a dog walker in the past who had a rotating cast of characters coming into our home and taking our dogs out. I have no doubt that each of them cared about our "kids" but I prefer the kind of consistency that Emma and team provide. Thanks Emma and Reservoir Doggies! You are the only folks we trust with our hairy toddlers. read more

I highly recommend Emma at Reservoir Doggies in South Minneapolis! She takes my very energetic dog Calypso on walks weekly. I've used other dog walking services in the past and none of them have even come close to the level of service and professionalism Emma provides at Reservoir Doggies. Look no further. Emma is the number one canine extrordinare! read more

Emma was awesome with both of my pups, two pit mixes who can be pretty high energy. We worked with her for about a year before she left LA and we miss her so much! I highly recommend them. read more

We had Emma to our home to help evaluate our rescue dog. She was very helpful, giving us information about the breed, what to expect from a rescue dog and ways to start training specific behaviors. She also gave us valuable, specific steps to help introduce the dog to young family members. I would highly recommend her one hour session for new rescue dog parents. read more

Emma and Jason are amazing. We feel so lucky that we found them to help care for our sweet puggle Lola. Our dog is always so excited to see them and the pack walks keep her active and happy. Thank you so much Reservoir Doggies for all your love and care! read more

We are so so so glad we found Emma and Reservoir Doggies. Emma is so caring, responsible, and attentive with dogs. She really got to know our rescue, Diesel, and his quirks-- which are plentiful. It really helped him to have the consistency and caring that Emma provides. His behavior improved a lot during his time with Emma. We've had other walkers that were good, but I felt that Diesel was just a number at a bigger company. Emma is the best-- she can really make a difference! read more

My partner and I adopted a puppy recently; even though we thought we were completely educated and prepared, the first few days with our rescue were a bit overwhelming. Our session with Emma could not have been more helpful - she helped us grasp the nuances of training, including housebreaking, clicker training, diet, exercise, and strategies to keep our pup happy and occupied during the day. No matter how much you read online, there's just no substitute for having an expert walk you through the process in real life. Emma also did some initial training with our dog as well, which was very helpful and instructive to see. We're also excited to follow up with the other amazing services offered, including the socialization walks and boarding when we're able to leave the house overnight again! Thank you Reservoir Doggies read more

Emma and Jason are fantastic. I recently relocated back from NYC and reached out to Reservoir Dogs based on their stellar FIVE STAR reviews. Emma was immediately responsive. Prices are completely fair for the neighborhood. Recommend them highly! read more

We are so fortunate to have found Emma for our pup! Our (almost) 9 year old Pug has become more and more aggressive towards other dogs over the years. Before that, she loved playing with other dogs and it made us upset to see that every interaction turned into a nightmare situation and that we would just have to keep her away from other dogs in general. After a big dog fight occurred that, we knew it was time to look for a dog walker/boarding to slowly get her reacquainted with other dogs and to also have someone to leave her with that we trusted and knew could handle her temperament. After meeting with other dog walkers in the area and not being too thrilled, we found Emma. She came over to our apartment to meet Dylan and we knew immediately that she was perfect for our pup! She was kind and gave Dylan attention but she also showed authority which was exactly what our dog needed. After Emma left, we emailed her back to setup a schedule to start walking Dylan. Although having her walked regularly was important to us our main goal was boarding. We moved to California over 2 years ago and are constantly traveling for work and flying back and forth to the East Coast where our family is. We began to feel badly when bringing her on our flights after she started showing signs of anxiety. We would never leave her at a kennel because of her anxiety and aggression towards other dogs and knowing they'd probably have to keep her alone and separate most of the time in an uncomfortable place. Besides, she has only been boarded one other time in her life. By our first time we needed to board Dylan, Emma had already successfully gotten Dylan to walk with other dogs without being aggressive -- we were seriously amazed. We still were really nervous to board her the first time --not because we didn't trust Emma, but because we were worried Dylan would start a huge dog fight, etc. and it would be our fault. Emma reassured us that she would be completely fine and that she was confident in Dylan and handling her around other pups. So we gave it a go! She sent us constant updates and photos of her playing with her dogs and the other dogs that were boarding there as well. She lets them run around like they would in your own home and has a yard outside for them to play. It was such a relief to not have to worry! Since then we have boarded Dylan COUNTLESS times with Emma. Emma has always been available for us to board her even last minute and on holidays which has been a lifesaver. Not to mention her prices are impossible to beat! I know a lot of people say this about their dog walkers but Emma really does treat them like her own and truly has a gift when it comes to interacting/caring for dogs. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our dog and are happy she is in our and our dog's life! read more

I have known Emma now for about 2 years. Her love and understanding of animals makes her reliable and trustworthy when it comes to the care of your pet. My dogs love her and get super excited to see her every time! It is such a comfort to know that my dogs are taken care of when I have to work long hours. Emma is very knowledgeable on all the best doggie walks and parks on the east side. Guaranteed your dog will be wagging his tail! read more

Love these guys. Emma and Jason have been caring for my hounds for literally years now. Hmmm, let's see...8 years is it? Wow. Yeah, totally dependable, honest, let me know what's going on with the dogs. My dogs really love spending time with them. Reservoir Doggies is also very flexible if my schedule changes, they make sure to make time for the dogs. If there's ever a problem, like a limp, or a digestion issue, they make sure to tell me as soon as they see something on the walk. I trust them and both my dogs love them. Sometimes my friends leave their dogs at my place and Jason or Emma are more than willing to take on the extra paws. It's really convenient. Very affordable as well. What more can I say? You can't go wrong with this company. read more

Emma and Reservoir Dogs are life savers. Just moved to Silver Lake and needed dog sitters. My dachshunds aren't the easiest pup to work with but after a weekend of boarding/ training I noticed how receptive my Ruca was after such a pleasant experience with Emma. Definitely recommend Emma's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable dog sitter/ trainer. read more

Emma is the only person I will leave my pets with. She is amazing. She is very patient and caring of my abused dog that I rescued. He is very scared and only likes myself and Emma. He has two Mommy's now. Emma is a great addition to my extended family. If you are looking for a reliable, safe, friendly and caring dog walker and boarder Emma is your girl. read more

Emma and Jason are great. We moved to LA almost a year ago and stressed out about finding a dog walker for our bratty pit bull. He is not a fan of strangers and was a jerk to Jason on day one. I didnt expect to hear from him again but he understood the stress my dog was under being in a new place and gave him a second chance. We are so grateful! My dog has so much fun on his walks and hikes, comes home tired and happy. He gets so excited to see Jason and his doggie buddies. I highly recommend them! read more

We love Reservoir Doggies. So easy and prices are great. Emma has been so patient with our fearful pups (one who is scared of walking and one who is scared of people) and it gives us so much comfort knowing we have an experienced walker visiting our pups daily. She socializes them, plays with them and walks them. She sends us daily texts of how their visit went and sometimes photos too. She visits our pups between a time frame everyday. She also offers boarding that we haven't used just yet but absolutely will this summer! read more

We were so pleased to have found Emma and Reservoir Doggies! Our small 15lb furry creature is always so excited to go to Emma's for daycare, or on one of the afternoon hikes. Emma is always very responsive and flexible, and easy to communicate with. Our dog is sometimes panicked by larger dogs, but Emma has always given us feedback on how she's improved and got on with the others. Would recommend Reservoir Doggies to all! read more

Reservoir Doggies have been taking our dog on walks for the past few weeks and we couldn't be happier with the service they provide. Emma and Jason do a fantastic job, they're reliable, on time, flexible and our dog Mia loves them! If you live in the Echo Park, there's no better dogwalker around! I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

Ive trusted them with my the love of my life (my dog!) for years. They are the best. They really care about your animals. My dog loves the group walks and when I board him there. Great people. read more

Emma has been helping me with my pitbull/pointer mix for years. She's super reliable, trustworthy and flexible with changes that come up. My dog loves her and her group walks! I never have to worry about a thing when I'm working long hours, because I know Emma takes great care of my girl, Vera. She's even boarded for us a couple times and I can sleep at night knowing my best friend is in excellent, loving hands. read more

I am very thankful to have met Emma at Reservoir Doggies. When we first met, my rescue was beyond timid, a special case indeed. It was a struggle at first, but Emma's charm and persistence has brought out a whole new personality in my pup. I work long hours, so knowing that Emma will attend to my dogs needs allows me peace of mind. She goes above and beyond on a daily basis. If you live on the Eastside, hiring Reservoir Doggies is a no brainer. Great communication, and true love for animals. read more

Emma and Jason have been walking my dog for several years. I feel comfortable leaving my pup in their hands when I've got to be at work. Emma and Jason are responsible, knowledgeable, and caring. They are also flexible and easy to communicate with when my schedule happens to change. I definitely recommend Reservoir Doggies to anyone looking for a dependable dog walker! read more

Emma and Jason are absolutely FANTASTIC! I just picked up my two dogs (a senior chihuahua and an extremely anxious, traumatized Beagle) and they are smiling ear to ear! Emma gave great updates and photos and I knew they were in amazing hands. One of my dogs is difficult and has special needs and Emma could not have been more accommodating and supportive of him. Jason took them both on great walks and both Emma and Jason gave them tons of love and attention! I have total faith in Emma and Jason and absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for dog sitting or walking. Thank you Emma and Jason for taking such great care of my boys!! We will see you again soon!! You guys are THE BEST!!! read more

Emma is amazing! My boy loves seeing her and I have never felt such trust leaving her with anyone before. She has not only walked him daily but also kept him some weekends when I've gone out of town and I've felt confident in it all. She always keeps me informed of anything going on with him and his behaviors have definitely changed for the better since she started walking him. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker. She truly loves each and every one of these animals she works with and it shows. read more

There are no words to truly convey how amazing Emma is as a dog walker. Words that do come to mind are; thorough, considerate, high-energy, detail-oriented, compassionate, professional, experienced, responsible, and honest. I have four small dogs, three Chihuahuas and one rat terrier who are basically like my children. I normally hike with them six days a week. This year I was pregnant with twins so I could no longer hike like I used to and I searched high and low for the right person to take my babies out. Emma has walked my dogs three times a week for months and has surpassed my expectations. She has an innate ability to interpret the personalities of each dog giving them individual attention. You know this is true when you see the exuberance and joy expressed by each pet when she arrives to come get them for their next adventure! On top of walks, I have paid Emma to take the dogs to vet appointments and I plan to have her stay with them if need be in my home. She pet sits and boards too. She is extremely dedicated to and passionate about caring for and rescuing animals. Honestly, she is one of the most pleasant and bright people I have ever met let alone hired to take care of my precious little ones. I trust her implicitly and encourage you to enlist her services if you want total peace of mind when it comes to your pets. Feels amazing to feel like you and your animals are in such good hands.. It truly is a total pleasure to work with her! Coco, Vivienne, Tallulah, and Buddy adore her and so will you! :) read more

About 6 months ago I got into a situation where I needed to have someone take my 6 year old Corgi/Terrier "Donald" out for walks 5 days a week while I worked. My good friend recommended "Reservoir Doggies" to me. He had a nanny cam and had burned through 3 or 4 different dog walking companies and had trouble finding the right fit. He finally found "Reservoir Doggies" and he never looked back. I can't say enough good things about Emma and her company. When I get home from work each day I can tell that my dog has been properly walked and most of all he just seems really happy. He loves going for walks with Emma and eagerly awaits that afternoon walk. Reservoir Doggies are very flexible, experienced and professional. Also the price is more then fair. I was always nervous about putting my dog in the hands of another person. At the end of the day the one thing you want out of a Dog Walker is to be able to "Trust" them. I trust Reservoir Doggies fully and I would recommend them to any dog owner. read more

My dog does not like people -- my dog LOVES Emma! Emma has been walking my dog for two years and I couldn't be happier! I always knew she was very communicative, flexible, and caring but then I happened to run into her one day and I had never seen my dog respond to anyone that way! All tail wags and licks! She was so happy to see Emma-- goes without saying that I trusted her even more after that interaction. Oh, and I don't have to worry about a THING when I board my dog with her. Emma's the best. read more

Emma is the BEST. Very dependable, easy to communicate with, flexible, pro-active, and above all, has a true love for taking the very best care of animals as if they were her own. I've used her services many times for dog walking and boarding and it's always a seamless, easy process. She also takes the time to update me when I'm traveling - she will check in with me if anything is out of the ordinary (very observant and in tune with pups), but she also sends me updates just to let me know my dog is happy and healthy. She's also well versed in positive reinforcement training and I've learned a few techniques from her that have worked really well with my dog. I never have to worry when my dog is with Emma, and since I travel for work from time to time, that comfort is worth its weight in gold. Highly recommend Reservoir Doggies. read more

Emma has been walking my three, not so well behaved dogs, for six months. They love seeing her and can't wait to head off with her even if I'm at home. She has been extremely flexible with her time, going from two days a week to five days when I broke my collarbone. I have the utmost trust in her and highly recommend her to anyone in need of some pet assistance. read more

Emma is dependable and conscientious and good-natured (especially when we forgot to her a key to get in). She always lets me know if something out of the ordinary happens with our old dog. An all-around great walker. read more

I could not be more grateful to have found Emma to care for our Olive. I work long hours and my husband is out of town more than not; I travel quite a bit too. We were on the verge of giving Olive up, but Emma has been a lifesaver. She offers a variety of excellent options for a busy pet-parent. She is an incredible value for the impeccable level of service and personal care, and she couldn't be easier to communicate and coordinate with. Several days a week, (1) Emma either picks Olive up and drops her off while I'm at work, taking her on a group hike, or (2) I drop Olive at Emma's, where she gets to hang out in an awesome yard with Emma's 2 adorable and friendly dogs and any other nice creatures who might be spending the day. I also board Olive overnight with Emma when I'm out of town. Even if Emma is away and can't board her for a given overnight, she'll help facilitate great alternatives. My only worry is that Olive enjoys Emma's more than being home! She hardly even looks back when I drop her off and is definitely sad the whole ride home. read more
