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.

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.

My dog Iris and I are regular clients of Planet Canine. I feel the need to post today and update my…read moreprevious review to express my continued STRONG support of this small, local business. This is in direct response to the person who recently posted about his wife feeling uncomfortable around one employee, Chris. First I'd like to say that I have been going to the Planet for years through several generations of dogs. I love the service I get there and how good they are to my dog. The owner Steve is super nice and he and his employees absolutely love my dogs. You get such a personal touch there and there is very little turnover among employees. Steve hires dedicated workers like Jordan who covers all morning shifts and some afternoon, and Chris who was (but because of that review now no longer is) covering a couple of afternoon shifts. He stepped in for another great employee James when James hurt his leg. Chris comes regularly. He's on time. He's very good with the dogs. Folks, this is a gem of a business. The employees are not transient people who don't care about you or your pet. They offer very hands on service and your dog will tell you how much they love going there. Second, Chris didn't deserve this. He is a very friendly guy. He is not inappropriate or scary. I'm a woman. I've met scary and it isn't Chris. He overshares a bit, yes, and he talks about his personal life, yes. Sometimes you just want to get your dog and go. I'm not minimizing the experience of this one customer if she was uncomfortable. But these are not high paying careers these guys have. It's a hard job with no thanks surrounded all day by smelly, barking, pooping dogs! They take great care of our animals and I am so, so grateful for everything they do for me. And for the fact that Steve runs a stable business with workers who like him. They like our dogs. And they work damn hard for us so I can go downtown 3x a week and make a living without worry that my dog is at home eating the couch. I'm very sorry to see Chris go over this. I liked him and liked hearing about his baby boy, his car troubles, his life. I will miss seeing him on Monday evenings and I wish him well wherever he winds up after this. I will continue to patronize the Planet because it's just so much more personable and caring than the expensive box places that churn through dogs and workers without caring about anything but making a buck off you. That is not Planet Canine or anything Steve or his workers would ever tolerate.
