Don David…read morehas been the best dog walker I've ever dealt with, his prices are more than fair and my puppy is totally pooped once he returns home after romping with other dogs and going on hikes. I'm pretty sure my dog has a better day than I do every time Don David takes him out. Don David keeps me updated with photos during their walks and makes sure he gets enough shade/water during the hot days. He is a genuinely sweet person and extremely easy to communicate with. I absolutely trust him with my dog and am so grateful to have found him. I now have Don David take my dog four days a week :) Oatie waits for him at the door every morning. He goes above and beyond to ensure your dog has a great day so you can rest easy while away from home. I absolutely recommend Don David to any dog owner in Marin.

He is a fabulous dog walker as he provides excellent care for my Shih Tzu on group walks. He takes the dogs on hikes and never unloads the dogs in a dog park for an hour. My small dog is in tip top shape from all his exercise. The socialization he provides for the dogs is excellent. Depending on the day he has small dog groups or a great mix of various sizes. Best of all, Don David texts us dog owners, photos throughout the week of our dogs on their hike. It is so nice to know my dog is in a safe environment and playing with dogs of all sizes. I can see that he is happy! I highly recommend Dog Trotters as your dog walking/pet sitter service.

Basia is a lovely human being. She's patient and kind and runs a legit (as in licensed, bonded, and…read moreinsured) pet care business. We did an intake and trial day with our dog, Matilda with her. Unfortunately, it was not a match (our little girl was way too shy and reserved to be a good fit for Basia's pack). But we so appreciated Basia's proactive and kind communication throughout the process. We got to spend some time with Basia and meet some of her other doggie clients, and I was so impressed by her attention to detail with all of the dogs, her honesty and transparency about anything we asked, and the fact that her space is so neat, clean, and organized. She loves her job so much that she has pictures of the dogs she cares for all over her house, which is really sweet. I wish it had been the right match for our dog, but I appreciated Basia's honesty about why it wasn't. I would feel completely comfortable recommending her to others based on the interactions we had with her.

I knew she was the perfect sitter when she came by for the initial meet and greet and she already remembered their names and their personalities, likes/dislikes, and special needs, based on the write-up I provided. The kitties gave their immediate approval when they came out from hiding and actually greeted her with head bumps and asked for more petting. For cat owners, you know that's the best you can get. My husband and I miss our pets dearly when we go away even for a weekend, but with the daily updates with pictures it provides us with a world of relief so that we can actually relax on vacation.. and I'm a bit of a worry wart too so that says a lot!

If I could give a negative score I would. We trusted Lorna to watch our 3 cats and leopard gecko…read morefor 6 days. Not only did we have to cut our trip short, but the standard of care that was promised was not delivered. Lorna promised to call when she started to let us know everything was OK. When I hadn't heard from her, I got nervous and called her. Lorna had trouble getting the front door key to work, but instead of calling (she had multiple phone numbers to use and instructions to call if anything came up), her plan was to try again the next day -- without feeding the cats or letting us know that there had been a problem. That judgment on her part nearly caused my fiance to fly home immediately. We suggested that she try WD40 in the lock -- rather than the wax she had thought of trying -- and she got in. I should note that we examined the lock and the key upon our return and had absolutely no trouble locking or unlocking the door. We locked and unlocked it a couple of dozen times and were able to open the door every time. After that first day, we felt we needed to check in every day, and when Lorna reported more trouble with the lock, we decided to return early as we did not trust that she could reliably manage the situation. She had also promised to clean the 3 litter boxes once per day (if not, it can get to be quite a mess). We were gone 4 days and the boxes had never been cleaned. Upon our return, there was urine and feces outside all of the boxes. Lorna also promised to clean out the water dish (we have a drink well), it was dirty and there was food debris in the bottom. Bottom line...Although Lorna seems to be a nice person who cares a lot about animals, she did not demonstrate the level of professionalism one would expect from a full-time pet sitter. If and when we need a cat sitter again, I plan on calling our veterinarian for a recommendation.

I was very disappointed with my experience during an evaluation visit at the Novato facility…read more My goal was simple: to give Harley, my 6-month-old male miniature doodle, an opportunity to meet and play with other dogs a couple of days a week. I dropped him off around 9:00 a.m. and was contacted around 11:00 a.m. and asked to pick him up. I was told that someone in the back had determined that Harley was not suitable for their program because he "did not participate with other dogs." The reception staff was professional and courteous when I dropped off and picked up Harley. However, I was very disappointed that I was not given the opportunity to speak with a qualified staff member who had actually observed Harley. I was told only that he did not "participate," but I received no explanation of what that meant, what they had observed, whether Harley was anxious, shy, simply uninterested, or whether there was some other concern. To my understanding, Harley was not causing problems or misbehaving; he simply was not participating with the other dogs during the evaluation. If that behavior made him unsuitable for the program, I would have appreciated a professional explanation and perhaps some guidance about whether or how that behavior could be addressed. I believe good communication is especially important when evaluating a young dog. I left feeling that the decision had been made without giving me enough information to understand what happened or how to help Harley. More information and the opportunity to speak with the person who evaluated him would have been greatly appreciated.
