Hopefully with little Niko leaving it frees up a spot for some other lucky dog to have the best experience. Love you guys, forever thankful.

From the moment David came…read moreto meet our tiny 9-week-old puppy, we knew they would be in the best hands -- and we were right. The entire team has shown incredible love, care, and professionalism every step of the way. They've not only given our dog years of fun, exercise, and socialization, but they've also helped us learn so much as dog owners. Every walker we've met has been warm, reliable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Our dog absolutely adored their time with Citizen Hound -- the excitement when they arrived said it all. Knowing they were with people who treated them like family gave us complete peace of mind. They're more than just a dog walking service; they're a community of people who genuinely care. We'll always be grateful for the joy they brought to our dog's life, and to ours. If you're lucky enough to live in their service area, don't think twice -- your dog will thank you every single day.

The absolute best!…read more We adopted our pitbull corgi mix, Franky, almost a year ago and at first he was very nervous around other dogs and would often lash out from barking or growling. Since Franky has been with Amad he's turned into the most gentle of dogs, always looking to play with other puppies and socialize. Amad is hands down the best dog walker we've found in San Francisco (after dealing with some pretty spacey/untrustworthy types). Our dog absolutely loves him and comes home exhausted every day after several-hour excursions to the beaches of the Bay and beyond!

No show again; then when he finally got our dog at 8 pm, he fed him at 10:30 pm without checking with us. Our dog vomited, and he claimed that he had kennel cough w/o evidence, & insisted on returning him to us immediately that night. Of course, he demanded 150% of the daily boarding rate to return him & clean up his vomit, and threatened to not return the dog's belongings. Our dog was vaccinated & was healthy & acting normally when we got him back. Not happy and definitely don't recommend!

There's nothing worse than that feeling of guilt when you head to work and have to leave your puppy behind. Now that we have Diane, the guilt has gone away! She's extremely punctual, flexible with changes in the schedule and most importantly- she loves Tasman as much as we do! He's always SO excited to see her when she picks him up and he's totally wiped out when she drops him off. A dog owners dream! Additionally, Diane sends daily recaps with pictures after every walk. One of my favorite times of the day is when I get that email! :) Thank you Diane!

So we set up a time to meet my puppy. They didn't show up. No one called me to cancel or reschedule. They ghosted me.. now I don't know if it's because I corrected her when she used the Spanish form of my name... which is fine by the way but my friends usually call me by my name in Spanish ..so I don't know. So I don't know if they are a great business... they never got back to me. Edit : Today after this review was written (July 31, 2023) The brother arrived at my house to intimidate me, because he didnt like the review he recieved. He then proceeded to take a pictures of my teenage daughter's car, because he didn't like the review he received. I filed a police report and the cops will be called if he or anyone else from this business returns If a customer doesn't like how your business is handled you don't get to go to their house to confront them ... YOU ARE A BUSINESS. You can't please everybody and that should be the expectation of all businesses.

It only took a couple walks for our dog to feel comfortable to go out with someone other than my wife or myself.

I can tell our dog is happy and energetic when he comes home after a walk. Thanks for everything!!!

She was very matted, and while most groomers would have insisted on shaving her, Bernard patiently worked through the tangles (he does charge for dematting, as expected), and gave her a beautifully shaped, hand-scissored cut. He really understands doodle coats -- he owns a doodle and a poodle himself -- and takes the time to deliver a thoughtful, adorable result. Her face looks especially cute, and while she hates having her photo taken, we couldn't be happier with how she turned out.
