My dog had regular walks with Cass last year for about 3 months after my dog got injured and was…read moreinstructed to not run anymore until her surgery date. Cass was amazing and attentive to my dog, made sure to let us know if she pooped or not and what the consistency was like. She even asked for a list of commands and tricks so she could practice some mental stimulation which was awesome! She was also more than happy to help us with training when it came to calm greetings, as my dog doesn't really meet with any other strangers at our home. Scheduling walks through Tanya was super easy. The app made everything super seamless, like showing us the route they walked and any comments from the walker. On days that Cass wasn't available, Tanya did try to match us with other walkers on her team but after we did meet and greets I honestly felt that they didn't respect our request to not encourage my dog to jump when greeting. That was a red flag to me, so I haven't exactly met any other walker that I felt comfortable with.

Tanya and her crew have been absolutely wonderful and creative in supporting me and my unique pets!…read moreTanya is super prompt to respond and the app they use is user friendly.

We've had the fortune of being able to have Mary take our pup, Buttercup, on walks for the past…read morefive years. Mary has always been on time and very communicative - texting us when she's on her way to pick up Buttercup and also sending us pictures of Buttercup on her park adventures with her friends. Buttercup has also spent some time on overnights at Mary's home when we've gone out of town on trips and she has such a blast! Mary truly takes care of Buttercup as if she's her own pup. We're really sad that we can't teleport Mary over to us on the East Coast so that she can continue walking Buttercup. Maybe one day!

Kristin went above and beyond taking care of our two little sibling tuxedo kittens. We were gone…read morefor two weeks and very nervous about leaving them as it was their first lengthy period of time without us. We got her gps location as well as videos, and photos every day of her playing with them.She even stayed slightly longer than we agreed to whenever she could. We came back to happy and healthy cats. They were certainly loved on while we were gone!! I would hire Kristin again in a heartbeat. The cats even got a Christmas gift!!!

Kristin is way more than a dog walker - she is a partner in Luna's care, giving me nutrition and other health advice and generally being fully invested my pup's well being. I also board Luna with Kristin when I'm out of town (even if family is available). I know Kristin's standard of care is as high or higher than mine so I don't have to worry about her while I'm away for work or vacation. Luna can't wait to go in to Kristin's house or see her at mine! Bonus is Kristin takes great pictures which fill my heart with joy.

Nadine and Haven's Hounds are simply the best! I met Nadine during 2020 when I had a new puppy at…read morehome and was looking for opportunities to socialize and exercise my pup. And Nadine quickly became an integral part of our week. My pup Harper would hear the truck coming and knew it was time for her pack walks with Nadine and her furry friends. An fulfilled, happy girl would return...usually with some final zoomies to show me how much fun she had on her pack. When we added a new pup to our pack at home, Nadine was gracious to begin walks with both Harper & Baker. We loved seeing all the photo updates on the Haven's Hounds Facebook page. Although we've recently moved away, we fondly remember their time with Haven's Hounds and wish we could replicate Nadine in our new town!

Zen Dog takes AMAZING care of my critters! Jen is my main dog walker and she is an absolute PRO…read more Her dog walk reports and photos are the most entertaining part of my workday. Truly! Even when Jennifer is unavailable, my little poofs get walked by another person from the staff and I'm always shocked at how much I like the rest of the team too (because I am very attached to Jen!!!). They have all been so clearly skilled and passionate about pups and my critters always look like they're having a good time with them in the photos. I couldn't recommend this company enough. Besides the amazing people who walk the dogs, this company also has features that make me feel secure -- like the gps map of where the dog walkers went with my pups and a timestamp of when they started and ended. They're also bonded and insured. And they're easy to reach if I have questions about services and invoices and whatnot. Here, I'll add a picture of what the dog walk reports look like --

Each one of these stars is equal to 1 million stars, so, 5 million stars for Seth :)…read more I am personally very overprotective of my fur babies and do not trust "just anyone" to take care of them properly. I consider my dog a family member, not a pet. Seth is someone I personally trust, because he is very passionate and committed about his work. It is very hard to find genuine, caring people nowadays, so it is a breath of fresh air to find someone who is accountable and trustworthy. The great news is that dogs ALWAYS tell the truth when it comes to people, so just bring your dog to Seth for a meet and greet, and they will tell you their opinion themselves. 4 paws up! Thank you Seth for being awesome, From me and Shylani

Seth is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. He's careful about introducing his dogs to one another, and Alfie has made some good buds because of it. Seth is observant and conscientious and a great communicator. We hate not being able to take care of Alfie during the day, but begrudgingly acknowledge that he probably has more fun with Seth and his dog friends anyway.

She kicked our dog out of boarding for "lunging at" another dog that she brought into the room without a slow introduction, expected us to pick her up immediately when we were on vacation, and refused to provide a refund for the night of care we didn't use. She kept our dog in a non-dog-proofed "she shed" by herself for several hours after the incident and was upset that our dog caused damage to that space. I do not think it is unreasonable to expect that a dog boarding business that cares for multiple dogs has a plan for when dogs don't get along, and that such a business should be able to handle incidents without expecting folks on vacation to drop everything to come get the dog.
