I lucked out in finding this dog walking service , funnily enough at the dog park. I used to take…read moremy dog to a local park and observed the owner Scott over the course of a few months, before I used his service. He doesn't sub out the walking service, he knows the dogs very well and takes care of their individual needs excercise needs quite well. When I first signed up with him, he emailed me a link to download all the requisite forms and made signing up with the service a breeze. Scott is exceptionally well organized and proffesional . I have two large dogs and never worry when he is taking care of them which, is what you want in a pet service company.

Both Kelsey & Jim deserve all the praise they get for their dedication to the Barkingham Pack ... the doggies are always looking so relaxed and happy while at the day care . Zorro waits every morning to jump in the car to get to see his friends ! He definitely seems to have a lot of fun and is quite pitted when we pick him up . Kelsey takes great pains to get beautiful and action pictures of the pack, it must be a chore to do it every day but she manages to surprise us with awesome shots . Both of us and Zorro are fortunate to have found such caring individuals who truly are devoted to the pack. Thank you Kelsey and Jim for taking such great care of not just Zorro but the entire Barkingham Pack we are also thankful for the overnight stays for Zorro while we travel.

Today he was really excited to be left there and walked in as if he owned the place. I get pictures throughout the day of all the dogs and everything looks clean as can be, apart from it being winter in Ontario. Wet paws happen.

Unfortunately I did not had a good experience with this business for daycare. The owner told me my…read moredog has separation anxiety and that they are "not a babysitting service". I explained that he is used to having a human around when he's with other dogs and not used to being left alone with dogs so that's likely why he's anxious and wants to be around a human. He is also active and needs stimulation and exercise - they take the dogs for a short 15 minute walk and play at a nearby dog park but then return and leave the dogs in a room which I believe is often unattended, After purchasing a package, she told me that I need to bring him daily to get him accustomed which I understand, but I explained to her that is not in my budget or need. She insinuated that she didn't want to take him again. She didn't offer me a refund or compensation for my package and I found the way she spoke to me was unprofessional and uncourteous. In my opinion, this wasn't much of a daycare, just a place to leave your dog for the day with minimal engagement. I used to take my dog to BFF and they were much more engaging and pleasant.

I've been using Mike for about 4 months now and he is absolutely fantastic…read more First off, the bar is set higher for someone you trust not only in your home but to take good care of your pets. I trust Mike implicitly with access to my house (where I am still very slowly moving in) and have credit cards and the like all over the place. Second, since dogs have "business" to do outside it's very important that your dog walker is reliable. My dog will have her bladder burst rather than going in the house. I know I can trust Mike to not only take appointments when I need them but that can be relied upon to show up. He also will give a walk report to you in text letting you know if your dog eliminated and how things went in general. He has never once missed a walk and he is great about taking on extra walks on short notice. Moreover the prices compared to the rest of the market are really great. My dog is a problem dog and Mike gives off a confident energy that I know I can trust if problems should arise. It is clear just from the way his energy is that he knows dogs. That's a really hippy thing to say but having known dog trainers and walkers over the years there's a certain presence and Mike has it. He has also been kind enough to bring up dog food delivered to my porch free of charge which I truly appreciate. That is not his job. Recently when I was away on a trip he even boarded her free of charge as he noticed she was destroying my house while I was away. I honestly can't say enough good things about Good Boys. UPDATE: MY DOG IS FIXED! I have spent thousands (literally) on many different dog trainers over the years trying to fix my dog's severe anxiety aggression. For years she was unable to interact with other dogs without someone(s) going to the vet or humans (me and others) going to the hospital. Now with Mike's help, she's totally fine. I can't say how happy I am. If you have a problem pet that you love....you gotta try Good Boys UPDATE 2: 2/4/16: Still using Mike. You're not gonna get a better dog walker at his price or any price.

We used Michael's service from Oct 2015 to Dec 2016 and were enormously impressed. From the moment…read morehe walked through the door he exuded a calm, confident energy that is critical around large dogs. My husband and I have 2 Rotties with very different personalities. One is lazy but wary of human strangers while the other is high energy and moderately dog aggressive, but both of them loved Michael immediately. Not only does he balance the needs/capacity of our two very different dogs, he somehow managed to socialize our trouble child with other dogs and sent us pictures to prove it! He successfully took them for pack walks; I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen it with my own eyes. Michael is amazing! He's responds quickly to text messages and is flexible with re-schedule/adding walks. He's even thoughtful and kind enough to bring in packages from our doorstep if anything's been delivered during the day. Knowing that he's fully bonded & insured made the choice a no-brainer. Handing over your house keys to a complete stranger can be difficult, so knowing that Michael is fully covered is icing on the cake. He has a flexible payment schedule and accepts eTransfers.
