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.

We absolutely loved Urban Paw, and I cannot recommend it more. Our dog Queso went to the ranch…read morethree times a week for two years. Emy and her colleagues would pick him up and drop him off using our electronic keypad. He was so excited to see them each morning and came home exhausted and happy at the end of the day. When we were on vacation, they offered overnight services for Queso to stay for 7+ days. We are now moving to New York, and what I'm most sad about is leaving Urban Paw. It's by far the best dog care service we've ever used. Queso is going to be very sad without his 3x weekly getaways.

Alex forms a great connection and trusting bond with his pups. Sky is excited when she sees Alex and most importantly we trust him with our baby. In addition, he is flexible with our schedules and prices are reasonable. Going out with Alex and his pack has greatly contributed to Sky's socialization, we are so grateful for that! We plan to continue to use Alex's services for years to come!

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.

He is very friendly and personable. He is always on time, and notifies us if he is more than a few minutes off schedule, which happens rarely (usually if he's cat sitting!). Our dog is 4.5 lbs, and Paul has taken extra measures to ensure the safety of our dog. At our request, he sends us photos of their time out together, and has helped identify some acute needs for our dog that ultimately ended in us getting him to the vet in a timely manner -- thanks Paul! Our dog looks forward to seeing Paul every weekday, and we couldn't be happier with the service Paul provides. Highly recommend him!

None of the dogs overlapped in their time with John, but it is a testament to the love and care John provides to each dog in his pack that I continue to trust John with all my dogs. John is extremely devoted to the care of each dog in the pack and understands the importance of exercise & mental stimulation to maintain a happy healthy dog that he shows up rain or shine to bring the dogs out on their daily off leash walks at Fort Funston. A highlight of my day is seeing the pictures he posts on Instagram everyday of their adventures & each dog has a huge smile on their face! All of my dogs have also done boarding with John when I travel & John adjusts his schedule to make sure my dog adjusts to the new environment & comes home safe, happy and tired. Finally, what makes John unique is he is also a certified pet dog trainer and educates and certifies new dog walkers on the proper canine handling and pack management routines. You will definitely have an elevated experience if you work with John & you will be a much better furry dog parent thanks to all the tips John will share with you. A happy dog is a calm dog, thanks to John and ABC Dogs!

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.
