Bodie joins the pack - some of his best dog buddies - during lunch for an hour or two every day. Cari took extra time with Bodie when he was a puppy to get him up to speed in terms of training, especially recall and off-leash work. The socialization aspect of the pack was something we really wanted and definitely got with Four Legged Fitness - Bodie is wonderful with other dogs. Bodie loves Cari and starts waiting impatiently by the door whenever he thinks she should be arriving. It is definitely his favorite time of day! Cari usually takes her time with the pack every day - it never seems rushed. She is always attentive and attuned to Bodie's needs. She even will help us keep a special eye on him if he isn't feeling well that day or has something going on. We have such peace of mind, knowing that Bodie is well taken care of in Cari's pack. We highly recommend Four Legged Fitness.

Puppy day care has ensured he gets the exercise and socialization he needs while we're at work. We come home to a happily exhausted puppy everyday. Our priorities in a dog day care were 1. A safe and supervised environment for a growing puppy 2. Safe and structured socialization with other dogs. We have noticed that his manners when playing with other dogs have improved so much since he started. When we take him to the park we can clearly see that he has learned how to play with dogs of all sizes and ages. We also love seeing him show up on the dog walks instagram so we can see him enjoying his day while we are in the office. Dogwalks has been so helpful and patient with him. He is so excited to see them show up to pick him up and even happily jumps into the van (he has yet to do this with our cars). We are so happy that our puppy will be able to be in day care and transition to pack walks as he grows up all with the same team.

We might be a little over protective. We actually met Chloe's father. Him and I hit it off and he recommended his daughter to walk my dogs. I thought that this was just some dude trying to help his daughter make money. Boy was I wrong! My wife and I interviewed Chloe and the doggies immediately loved her! They actually love her more than me, which made me mad lol. Long story short, she walked my dogs for at least a year. I was fully confident giving her the keys to my house and letting her take my doggies. You CANNOT find a better dog walker. Seriously. I've tried a bunch and they are all medium good. Chloe is family now. Anyone who has children or dogs will understand how important it is to trust the person that takes care of your babies. She even took them to new areas in SF that the dogs weren't familiar with. I actually had zero anxiety because she was with them. That's a huge step for me.

I had posted a 5 star review for Pawsitive Strides previously, but took it down a couple of months…read moreago. Since then, I do feel compelled to share my experience with Pawsitive Strides and why I no longer recommend this service. I had hired Lamu to care for my senior toy poodle for a week in July, and the first experience was pretty good! It's evident she's a dog lover and gave my dog a lot of cuddles. The only issue we had was that she had promised to text videos/photos and updates every day. There would be long periods between texts and we didn't receive regular updates or daily photos/videos as promised. This was not a deal breaker, though it was interesting to see that while she wasn't sending updates to us, she was adding regular photos of our dog to this Yelp page! We had to text repeatedly... "Is he ok?" because she wasn't communicating, so it helped us realize where her priorities lie when seeing a bunch of pics of our dog on here, while she left us on read! We hired her for dog walking as well and dog walking might be ok. We canceled after 2 walks because we had a hard time getting confirmation/responses from her. The main concern happened the second boarding stretch in September we hired her for. We asked her what time to drop off the pup, and she said 4 pm. We were there a little before 4, and texted/called her multiple times. It was over an hour later until she responded. She had fallen asleep. This is wildly unprofessional behavior. Imagine if we'd had a flight to catch. Because she had done a decent job with the July boarding, we let this slide. During his September stay, we again had issues with responsiveness and lack of updates. He's almost 16, partially blind, partially deaf, and not great with other dogs. He has an old injury from an ACL tear and is small - 9ish pounds. Because of all of these factors, we told her repeatedly in person and in writing that we don't take him to dog parks and are very careful with his activity levels and interactions with large dogs/puppies. We explicitly stated "Do not take him to dog parks" and "Please keep him on leash at all times - he has been attacked by large dogs in the past." Mainly, we just needed someone to care for him, mostly at home, and not endanger him. The reason I'm giving 1 star is because she took him to a dog park and threw his tiny tennis ball. Apparently, a large dog grabbed the ball, demolished it, and then bit Sgt. pepper on his head in 3 places and scratched his eye. The worst part was, she did not tell us ANY OF THIS. She dropped him off and provided his destroyed ball and said another dog destroyed it, but withheld all details of his attack. As we got him settled back in our home, we noticed his eye was scratched and really red, and quickly noticed the 3 bloody scabs - 2 on his head and one on his neck! We texted her a couple of times asking what happened, and still she never responded. This behavior is incredibly irresponsible, so you can understand why I'm giving a 1 star review. I don't want any other pups to get attacked and injured under Lamu's care, so I'm hoping folks reading this review will take caution with hiring her. Perhaps if it's just for a short walk around the block, it might be ok. But in terms of boarding or long-term care, our experience is that Lamu is not responsive and does not follow critical directions, which ultimately led to our dog getting attacked. Her failure to communicate this to us is a huge red flag. It took weeks for her to finally bring back his belongings she'd forgotten to bring when she dropped him off. I had to text her constantly to ask her to bring back these items. I would encourage folks to look elsewhere and avoid this service at all costs.

RECOMMENDATION FOR JOAN MAPOU, PET TRAINER & SITTER…read more I cannot imagine what I would have done without Joan Mapou helping me train my new Havanese puppy. Joan is a reward-based SF/SPCA certified trainer who is also an excellent pet sitter. I have yet to meet a dog or a cat who doesn't love her and who she doesn't love. Joan is completely reliable, dependable and fun to be with and her training sessions are always informative and interesting. Afterwards, she will send you tons of information regarding what she trained that session. On top of being a fantastic trainer/sitter, Joan is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I heartily and unequivocally recommend her. Susanna McMahon susannamcmahon@yahoo.com
