I would absolutely recommend Adventures in Dog Walking! About six months ago, I was found and then…read moreadopted by a GSD. Bella was not even a year old. I was not looking for another dog (already had two) and certainly had no experience with a young German Shepard. I was really in over my head with the amount of energy she brought with her. I called around to several places but Justin got back to me right away. He was super knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. He made me very comfortable and was able to accommodate us right away. Danny was her walker and he was so kind and gentle with Bella. He didn't even get angry when she pooped in his car once! Adventures in Dog Walking saved my house from being ripped to shreds. Thank you Justin and Danny! Also, Justin is a trainer. I really wish I had known before I invested 2k in a "lifetime" service I've only used 4 times.

We are so happy we found Justin to help train our Airedale Terrier puppy (notoriously stubborn…read morebreed)! We've done multiple private training sessions and a two-week board and train program. Justin is very intuitive when it comes to training, and trains the humans as well as the dog to work together. The board and train program was great- living in Justin's house with his family and own dog helped show our puppy how to behave in an actual house, not just a kennel. We always trust Justin to take care of our puppy when we're away!

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 genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Sniff SF and the incredible humans behind it…read more As an Alamo Square resident (94117), I rely on Sniff for Asher's daily on-leash walks, specialized playgroups, and overnight boarding, and I truly don't know what I would do without them! The entire team is AMAZING. They're consistently on time, incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and absolutely hilarious. The pictures, jokes, and stories they send throughout the day regularly have me falling off my chair laughing. Asher is a bit of an older gentleman, and they're so attentive to his individual needs, whether that means taking it easy on hot days or making sure he's socializing with other well-behaved pups in their carefully curated playgroups. And if you need proof of just how much these people love their dogs, when Asher was sick and spent a few days in the dog hospital, the entire Sniff crew sent him a get-well-soon gift. I can't even express how much that meant to me. I also travel often for work, and knowing Asher has a second home at Camp Sniff with Heather and her family takes an enormous mental load off my plate. The pictures of him adventuring around Fort Funston, hanging with his dog friends, and generally living his best life are priceless. They keep me completely updated on how he's doing, including immediately flagging anything that seems even slightly off. I never have to wonder whether he's safe, happy, or being loved. Asher is beside himself with excitement every time one of his walkers comes through the door and absolutely LOVES going to stay with Heather. It's an extraordinary feeling to know your dog isn't just safe and well cared for, but genuinely, deeply loved. That's what Sniff gives me every single day. I adore these humans and cannot recommend them highly enough. Five stars doesn't even begin to cover it!

We've had some fantastic dog walkers, including Josh who was so sweet and thoughtful with all of Hazel's quirks and charms, and are so grateful for Heather boarding Hazel and treating her like a member of the family. Thank you for all that you do, Team Sniff!

Sometimes he even falls asleep in the hall by my feet when I'm chatting with Jill for a few minutes before she leaves. And of course, when we go on vacation, there's only one person Smokey stays with & that's Jill! As others have noted, Jill is super knowledgeable when it comes to providing advice or ideas on behavior. She also can be super flexible if you need her to take your pup for a full day or add him to a different day. But best of all: we just love how much she loves our Smokey. If you're an owner that loves your pup & wants him in the very best of hands when you're at work or on vacation, then call Jill!

Jill came on good recommendation from a friend, but even though I was in over my head with a newly…read moreadopted dog, I interviewed a few dog walkers. Jill impressed me at the first meeting by being very professional, knowledgeable and flexible. I adopted Mabel on a Friday, Jill was over to meet her by Sunday, and was walking her on Monday. Jill knew that Mabel had little training, but was willing to supplement the obedience lessons we were working on. She was also a great resource for me as a new dog owner; providing tips, answers to my silly questions, and suggestions for additional training. Having someone come into my home and take the dog I so quickly fell in love with while I was at work all day was so hard the first couple of weeks! Having someone I trusted made all the difference in getting through the day. I also quickly learned how important it is to have a well exercised dog. I walk Mabel in the morning and evening, but she has a ton of energy and I credit her daily walks with Jill for keeping her early obedience and routine on track. And a tired dog, is a good dog! Jill encouraged me to come along with the pack a couple of times, and it was so fun to see her and all of the other dog walkers at Fort Funston in action. She clearly has a deep love for dogs, is responsible, and well respected amongst her dog walking colleagues. Jill has been walking and dog sitting for us for just over a year and I don't know what we'd do without her!

Aimee is the best dog trainer in SF! I got my puppy during the pandemic and having Aimee help me…read morenavigate new dog dad doodies was a life saver! I started off by doing Puppy 101 with Aimee where I learned so many of the fundamentals that I still practice today. She provides amazing guidance on all potential scenarios that crop up when your pup is 8-20 weeks old. The absolute hardest time period! I also did puppy socials that Aimee managed at the Noe Jeffreys. These were great because you get to learn how to interact with pups while they play, when to step in, when to let them do their thing, etc. Even though puppy socials are meant for the pup - I found them incredibly educational as well. I still remember Aimee telling me to stop calling for my pup while it was trying to play. My pup is over 2 years old now and its been a while since our last class with Aimee but she truly cares and constantly keeps in touch with us making sure Mumble grows up to be a gentleman... except for his jumping.... that I will blame SF for...

When we started, Spoon could be unpredictable and we weren't always sure how to help him succeed. Through her guidance, patience, and consistency, he's become a much more confident and well-behaved dog. He now follows a routine, responds to commands, and has successfully transitioned into her group walks twice a week. What impressed us most is how in tune she is with dogs and their behavior. She has a natural ability to understand what they need while also teaching owners how to communicate with them effectively. As first-time dog owners, that support was invaluable. We're so grateful for everything she's done for Spoon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring trainer.
