Our family went on a 1+ week long vacation, and we didn't have to worry about our 8-year old small dog, because he was happily having his own vacation with Jane. Our dog was able to meet & play with other small dog friends (Jane also took care of throughout this period), go on long walks in different parks, lay on soft surfaces, sleep in the bedroom, look out windows onto the street-basically everything he loves to do. Jane sent us daily email updates with photos, which we loved and looked forward to during our vacation. We picked up a very happy and content dog after our vacation. We would definitely use Jane's pet sitting services again and highly recommend her.

We plan to continue to use Alex's services for years to come!

The absolute best!…read more We adopted our pitbull corgi mix, Franky, almost a year ago and at first he was very nervous around other dogs and would often lash out from barking or growling. Since Franky has been with Amad he's turned into the most gentle of dogs, always looking to play with other puppies and socialize. Amad is hands down the best dog walker we've found in San Francisco (after dealing with some pretty spacey/untrustworthy types). Our dog absolutely loves him and comes home exhausted every day after several-hour excursions to the beaches of the Bay and beyond!

No show again; then when he finally got our dog at 8 pm, he fed him at 10:30 pm without checking with us. Our dog vomited, and he claimed that he had kennel cough w/o evidence, & insisted on returning him to us immediately that night. Of course, he demanded 150% of the daily boarding rate to return him & clean up his vomit, and threatened to not return the dog's belongings. Our dog was vaccinated & was healthy & acting normally when we got him back. Not happy and definitely don't recommend!

After scanning the pages and pages of five-star reviews for Elaine and her business, I feel at a…read moreloss to write something that provides additional insight or perspective on how fantastic Elaine is. The reviews here get all the details - deeply caring for your beloved fuzzball, plant whispering, coming back to find the house cleaner than you left it, medication administration, the heartwarming and occasionally hilarious notes... The truth is that it's all been written over and over again; Elaine cares deeply for your pets and your home. Elaine has taken care of my cats since 2014 on more occasions than I can count, and I trust her implicitly. She has demonstrated a level of care for my cats, my plants, and my home that is unmatched by any pet-sitter I've ever known. She is overflowing with compassion and intellect, and she is organized and detail-oriented in a way that is dizzying to contemplate. I remember that, when I moved, she had a system for updating my records so the transition was flawless: new key, new alarm code, house preferences, new garbage night - because yes, she takes out and brings in the garbage! Perhaps one novel perspective I can offer is the deep confidence I have in her ability to figure things out if the unexpected arises. I have taken several long hikes where I am away from any cell coverage for up to three weeks at a time. Before the first of these hikes, Elaine and I discussed some contingencies and made arrangements, including a veterinary care directive and emergency plan. If veterinary care is required, Elaine will be able to address it and advocate for my pets the way that I would. This gave me a comfort that is beyond words when I was off in the wilderness. I know that, if I've forgotten some detail, Elaine will take care of it thoroughly and completely. I have recommended Elaine to everyone I know with a cat, and if you're at all on the fence, don't be - get in touch with her and save yourself and your pets from a "learning experience" elsewhere. Elaine is a true professional, a local small-business-owner who provides a service far superior to any corporation's, and she will impress and endear you in a way that exceeds expectations.

She arrived promptly at the…read moreappointed time, dilligently took notes about what needed to be done, asked clarifying questions, followed instructions, and went the extra mile on top of that. She put my trash bins out for me as part of her service, she took care of some feeder mice for my partner's snakes, she emptied litter, she fed wet and dry and kept the big boii from stealing the slower, pickier eater's food. She spent real time with the cats, she did not just enter and leave. She checked in and made sure that she did everything correctly. Elaine is a professional and did an outstanding job. I am a highly satisfied customer and intend to call on her services again when I need them. Cannot recommend enough for anyone in SF.

Citizen Hound has been an absolute gift to our family for over 7 years. From the moment David came…read moreto meet our tiny 9-week-old puppy, we knew they would be in the best hands -- and we were right. The entire team has shown incredible love, care, and professionalism every step of the way. They've not only given our dog years of fun, exercise, and socialization, but they've also helped us learn so much as dog owners. Every walker we've met has been warm, reliable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our dog absolutely adored their time with Citizen Hound -- the excitement when they arrived said it all. Knowing they were with people who treated them like family gave us complete peace of mind. They're more than just a dog walking service; they're a community of people who genuinely care. We'll always be grateful for the joy they brought to our dog's life, and to ours. If you're lucky enough to live in their service area, don't think twice -- your dog will thank you every single day.

We have been using Urban Paw's dog walking services for our Boston Terrier for nearly 10 years, and…read morewe have loved it. Our dog started with them when she was just a puppy, and we never had to worry about her being around older or larger dogs; the team does a fantastic job of looking out for the smaller pups. We love that the dogs have so much outdoor space to play in throughout the day--we call it "camp" for our dog! Emy and her team are incredible at keeping us updated with pictures/videos and ensuring we are always informed about anything we need to know. Honestly, it is a great value for everything that is included, and we are so grateful for the consistent, loving care they have provided our pup over the years.

I met Brendan years ago when he was walking my roommates dog every day. That dog was a bit of a…read morehandful, he didn't come when called, couldn't be trusted around other dogs, and had an interesting temperament. After daily trips out with Brendan, the pooch began to develop better manners and eventually started following some basic commands from people. If you knew this guy, you'd know that was massive development! A few years later, I adopted an amazingly energetic boy named Dexter. Dex was already well behaved but has boundless energy that really needed an outlet while we are away at work. Since my roommate had such great luck with Brendan, I decided to give him a call. Its been two years since we started working with Brendan and I couldn't be happier! Brendan has a key to our house and takes Dex out several times a week to go on doggie excursions and knock out some of that energy. Every day when we get home, we can tell Dex has enjoyed a solid workout. What's better is that Brendan is happy to board Dex at his home anytime we have to leave town. We often joke that Dex would prefer to live with Brendan, as he is always thrilled to see him. Sometimes he boards him for a night, other times it can be weeks. No matter how long we're gone, we know he's in good hands and he is always happy to accommodate our schedules to ensure Dex is taken care of. If you need a dog walker or boarder that you can trust, look no further than Brendan. He is amazing and I can't say enough great things about him!

Brendan is the best!

Thanks, Brendan, for taking such good care of Beezus.

You can tell our dog really genuinely likes her because we can bumped into her while walking him and he runs up to her and wags his tail.

I feel that she is attentive and does well with our dog and she has been flexible and responds well to our emails and texts--highly recommended!

He was 13 at the time, and somewhat active, but definitely high needs. I grew up with him and always loved him, but taking care of an aging dog is a very big challenge. As you can imagine it was an emotional time for me, and Tricia helped me get my house better set up for Brunie, assured me I was doing a good job with him, and left me daily detailed notes on how he was adjusting to city life. She would txt me if there was a really bad day, so I would know what I was coming home to. She was able to stop by a few times on days I had to work a little later. and worked with me to get a schedule that worked best for Bruno. Each day is a little different with an old man and she was a great judge on if he just needed a little play in the yard, just a short walk, or maybe just some treats and petting. My roommate also has a very anxious cat, that used to throw up every day due to separation anxiety. Tricia would talk to Oliver thru the window daily, and the cat has never been better. There is so much more that Tricia helped me with, but the key take away is that she loves the animals she works with, and even the ones she just walks by. I lost my Brunie, but his last months as an official city dog were made better every day by having Tricia in his life.
