They go to the park, the beach, Presidio and my dog comes home happy and exhausted every day! She now sits watching out the window every morning, waiting for Sarah to come pick her up. As if that weren't enough, Sarah also sends amazing photos of my dog and the others in beautiful spots around SF - they are professional quality and so fun to see. I couldn't recommend her more highly!!

We have been with Sarah and her team since 2022 and these are some of my most favorite people in…read moreour orbit. She and Jack and her team are beyond dedicated, love my dog as if he's their own and also have been instrumental in his training and overall temperament. I credit her, Jack and the entire team with his ability to be amazingly behaved off leash and they are so important in his life. I think he actually prefers Ollie and Bear Dogs vs. our family, ha! Her team is always available and has never no-showed, been sick or even had to cancel. Overall dream team and I'd be lost without them as a dog owner. And a major bonus is he is photographed every day so I get to follow along on his dream walks. Very grateful for this amazing dog family!

We are feeling so fortunate to have found dog walks. Our puppy started at puppy day care just a few…read moremonths ago when he was four months old. Puppy day care has ensured he gets the exercise and socialization he needs while we're at work. We come home to a happily exhausted puppy everyday. Our priorities in a dog day care were 1. A safe and supervised environment for a growing puppy 2. Safe and structured socialization with other dogs. We have noticed that his manners when playing with other dogs have improved so much since he started. When we take him to the park we can clearly see that he has learned how to play with dogs of all sizes and ages. We also love seeing him show up on the dog walks instagram so we can see him enjoying his day while we are in the office. Dogwalks has been so helpful and patient with him. He is so excited to see them show up to pick him up and even happily jumps into the van (he has yet to do this with our cars). We are so happy that our puppy will be able to be in day care and transition to pack walks as he grows up all with the same team.

I live in SOMA where it is hard for dog walkers to drive over due to the traffic.My dog is also very temperamental and hates strangers and other dogs which made it more difficult to find a dog walker who was alright with that. I've been turned down by quite a few dog walkers and Wag walkers because of my dog's behavior and I was at a loss until I was referred to Power to the pooches. When we first met up for assessment, Patrick took my dog for a walk around the block and while she did exhibit some hostility, he was willing to give her a shot! It's been a year now and my dog has transformed from a people-hating, hostile dog to one that actually got so excited to go out for walks with her assigned walker, Porfirio, everyday. This shows that they really care for their dogs and are willing to work with the problem ones too. I also like the fact that they go to different walking routes. Sometimes they go to hiking trails in the city instead of the same dog park all the time. They also know which trails/parks are best for dogs depending on season to prevent burrs from being stuck to the dogs paws or where it doesn't get too muddy during rainy days. My dog is usually out all morning and back in the early afternoon where she then takes her nap until i'm home in the evening. They also have one of the best price points compared to Wag or other dog walking services which was a plus. In terms of communication, Patrick and team are always readily available through text. Highly recommend !!

Uncle Brad also helped us with checking our mail, and watering our plants when we'd travel for extended amount of time. They are punctual, easy to deal with, and take amazing care of my beloved dog. Always get a daily picture update, and know they take the best care of all the dogs. Sadly, I just moved out of their service area, but will always hold a special place in my heart!

Eric has helped take care of and raise our Jack Russell and Great Dane puppies. They love him! He's great at understanding animal and their owners, he sends text pictures or Facebook pictures for you to see that they're doing well while you're gone, he adjusts his walking schedule if he can to meet your pet's needs. Eric is alwasy considerate of your pet's needs. He can easily care for them and give them anything they need. Eric is phenomenal watching over and caring for your pets & home. We will always feel comfortable having Eric watch over our "kids" when we leave on trips without them

For the past two years, I had a job that enabled me to work from home and spend time with my white English bull terrier, Dharla. However, I recently got a new job that requires me to go into the office every day. Who would take her for walks? Who would check in to make sure she was happy and well? A Fairy Dogfather was *exactly* what I needed! I would recommend Eric in a heartbeat. Right off the bat, he was professional and warm. He asked great questions about Dharla, what she liked to do (and not do), and genuinely seemed to adore her. Dharla took to him right away, which is surprising given she's usually a little shy around strangers. I also had asked to speak to a few references (i can't help it! i love my dog!) and they had nothing but glowing reviews. While I already had a good feeling about Eric, the first day he walked her I got a text from him with the sweetest picture of Dharla from on top of Kite Hill. It was such a nice touch. I knew that he was a great fit for her, and I'm so happy that when I can't be there to take care of her, The Fairy Dogfather can.

One is very calm and gentle to everyone. The other is more high-spirited and there are a few dogs that she doesn't care for. Eliot has helped me out at least a dozen times gain control over my Dane when the park has gotten a bit intense. He uses a gentle but strong hand and always has the dog's best interest at heart. What's even more impressive is that Eliot's dogs adore him. He plays with them and runs around the park making sure that their time at the park is worthwhile. Eliot is a considerate participant at the park and always picks up the poop from his dogs as well as others. I highly recommend Eliot!

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!

Bodie joins the pack - some of his best dog buddies - during lunch for an hour or two every day. Cari took extra time with Bodie when he was a puppy to get him up to speed in terms of training, especially recall and off-leash work. The socialization aspect of the pack was something we really wanted and definitely got with Four Legged Fitness - Bodie is wonderful with other dogs. Bodie loves Cari and starts waiting impatiently by the door whenever he thinks she should be arriving. It is definitely his favorite time of day! Cari usually takes her time with the pack every day - it never seems rushed. She is always attentive and attuned to Bodie's needs. She even will help us keep a special eye on him if he isn't feeling well that day or has something going on. We have such peace of mind, knowing that Bodie is well taken care of in Cari's pack. We highly recommend Four Legged Fitness.
