My husband and I were walking around Carmel, and stumbled upon this awesome pet shop!!! We were greeted by one of their very friendly employees, dog lover, who offered us a dog treat (with our permission) right away!!! This store has an amazing selection of toys, dog beds, leashes, treats, dog cookies, and even a photographer if you want to have a photo session of your pup! Also, they have dog toys and beds of all different sizes, which is quite awesome they're accommodating for those larger & smaller. I also love how the toys are very unique and quality toys - i.e. "Chewy Vuitton" purse, etc. So cute!!! My doggy picked out the golf club toy, which was kind of funny as the dog store is in Carmel. Even though we went to this store about a month ago now, my pup still loves his "new hobby" of golfing! The toy has all sorts of bite marks all over it, but it's still going strong. Love this store! Highly recommended for anyone who has a pet! read more

We have been using Diggity Dog for a little over a year and could not be happier! Our dog Coby goes on fun off leash walks every day with Melissa, sometimes for 2 hours! They come and pick him up, and then with a few other dogs go to different off leash areas around the city to run around (don't worry, they wait a few days and make sure the dogs are trained and come when called before they let your dog run wild). They have been really accommodating when we've had locks changed, or when our building's elevator was broken for an afternoon. They also post pictures and videos all the time to make you jealous that you're not out there with all these dogs. The few times I've been working from home when they come to get Coby, he completely ignores me in his excitement to see Melissa! They also do overnight stays, and your dog can spend the night or longer with their walker, and then be dropped off back at home (exhausted from a few days of nonstop play). The owner, Donna, is super responsive and clearly takes pride in making sure all the dogs have a great time. The recent switch to automated payment has been great. I couldn't recommend Diggity Dog more highly! read more

Diggity Dog - How do they get everyone to sit so nicely?? - Dog Walkers Near Me

Donna and her team (Roxy, specifically) have been walking our little love bug, Lucy, for over two years now. Lucy absolutely loves Roxy. In fact, if I'm being honest, I get a little jealous when Lucy bounds for the door with nary a look back at me when Roxy arrives each day to pick her up. Putting my maternal selfishness aside for a moment, nothing makes me happier than knowing Lucy is enthusiastically romping on the beach and in the Presidio each day with Roxy and oodles of other dogs. How do I know Lucy enjoys her walks so much, you ask? I get to witness the action for myself in the youtube videos and photos Roxy posts online. Yes, I internet stalk my own dog. Donna is also excellent in helping out in a pinch. Whenever we've needed a last minute weekend walk, help walking other dogs that we're dog sitting, etc., she is very accommodating. Overall, we're thrilled we found Hot Diggity Dog and highly recommend Donna and her team to other dog parents. read more

Our little guy has been with Donna and the Diggity Dog crew for over a year, and they are the most caring, pooch loving people you could find. When we leave town for a few days, we board him with one of the walkers and know that he's having a great time at "camp". Lately, O dog has been acting up and Donna took the time to text and chat in detail about what's going on. She even reached out to her own network to recommend good dog trainers in SF. We're going to work on his behavior before reintroducing him to the Diggity crew, because that's the right thing to do. He'll miss his gang, but thanks to Donna's genuine care and concern, he's on his way towards becoming a happy and confident dog, and hopefully he'll be back with Diggity crew soon! read more

I am very grateful for the experience and quality of care Donna and her team gave to my little boy. We recently moved to the Bay Area and never experienced dog walking service before. I found Diggity Dog looking through yelp and am happy I did. Donna spent a good time with me before our move talking over my concerns and questions. Her team: Roxy, Chloe and Savannah have treated and respected my dog and I fully trust and appreciate their care. If you're looking for a amazing dog walker do not hesitate to contact Diggity Dog SF. read more

Diggity Dog - Dog Walkers Near Me

Let me be specific about the situation in which I think everyone should know and BE AWARE OF DONNA and HER BOARDING SERVICES. Before Thanksgiving, we looked for a dog boarder, and figured with all these wonderful reviews, that it shouldn't be so bad. I was a little apprehensive though because most of the reviews are about dog walking and not boarding. There were very few options left that had openings over the holiday weekend. Anyone who knows our Bernese knows he's the sweetest dog in the world, even though he's 90lbs. He's pretty lazy and the biggest goofball, but he loves to eat. He always gets so excited about treats. Donna called to say she actually won't board the dog herself and she preferred cash or check paid up front. So my boyfriend dropped off our Bernese at this guy's house, who has another dog (medium size dog, probably around 30-40lbs) and the guy also has kids (our dog loves kids, he would just lay on the ground so the kids won't feel threatened so he can be pet). The guy seemed a little clueless and indifferent, but we figured how hard can it be to take care of our dog. He's not very active at all,extremely easy going, and prefers to sleep most of the day. Regardless of how much you think your dog is low maintenance, in the care of someone completely incompetent, it will turn into a nightmare as this experience has shown us. My boyfriend leaves to fly all the way to Virginia for Thanksgiving, only to have her call us the very next day in the morning and tell us that her pet sitter got "bitten" because our dog is "aggressive" and probably has a "kennel cough." I put all this is quotes because of the absurdity of the situation. Her tone was extremely accusatory and she demanded we pick up our dog from across the country. Completely surprised by the situation, I couldn't believe her story. He was healthy and fine when we left him, but now he's developed a kennel cough overnight and has had a COMPLETE personality change?! So I told my boyfriend about the phone call, and he called the guy to ask him what had happened and Donna totally embellished the story. The guy had a treat in his hand and London reached for it, but the guy felt that my dog was lunging at him (probably because he knows absolutely NOTHING on how to handle a large dog) and pulled away, which then caused a SCRATCH on his hand (the guy's own words). The guy was so worried and paranoid, my dog clears his throat after he eats because he just gobbles up food, that he called Donna and told her he couldn't take care of our dog anymore. Why are you hiring incompetent people to look after other people's dogs that they obviously have no experience or ability to? Just because they happen to have a dog themselves does not make them experts or good dog caretakers. I have two dogs and I've dog sat plenty of other people's dog, and I know it's extremely difficult because every dog is different, especially if they're of different breeds than your own. Dog sitting is an extremely complex thing, and you shouldn't hire someone who doesn't KNOW HOW to dog sit or handle anyone else's dog but his OWN. Then call me and accuse my dog of being hostile and give me all this crap about how the guy has kids. WELLS MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T BE DOG SITTING IN GENERAL IF HE HAS KIDS AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE OTHER PEOPLE'S DOGS. So here we are on the other side of the country trying to figure out find a safe place for our dog. Luckily my boyfriend's friend was still there for another day before he flew out, so he went to pick up our dog. He was completely taken aback by the story, and everyone we've told it to that knows our dog thinks it's the most ridiculous thing ever. My boyfriend then had to find a flight back the very next day, two days before Thanksgiving. We were extremely angry and irritated about their incompetence. We figured what is done is done. Our dog is safe, and we'll just forget this drama filled company behind us. But I felt I needed to leave a review so other people wouldn't be suckered in to their boarding services. After I left my initial review and after more than two weeks past the ordeal, we got an email from the guy demanding we send him vaccination records because he was going to go to the doctors for his scratch because he was concerned our dog had kennel cough. Our dog did not have kennel cough and the timing is extremely suspicious. First of all, any experienced dog boarder knows to insist on having vaccination records BEFORE you board a dog. We thought it was absurd for him to ask it now, AFTER the fact. He went on to say he would call animal control to take our dog away if we did not do as he asked. HARASSING AND THREATENING US? Are you serious? In my opinion, you aren't running a business, you're running a SCAM. I've never been so disgusted in my life. This is stuff of nightmares. BEWARE. read more

Donna is running a first class dog walking service. we met her two years ago, and we have used her service since. Our dog Judy is picked up every morning for her daily romp with her friends, including Jewels, Spencer, Max and Lola. As mentioned Hot Diggity Dog is an excellent service. Donna does a thorough check on her staff, and an excellnet staff she has. James currently picks judy and her friends up every morning. The dogs are taken to different locations, so there is a variety. We also get photo's and videos of the dogs on occassion. The video is like a report card, and we are not suprised to see that our little Judy not only ignores us when she is called...... Donna has also arranged to have our little girl looked after while we have been out of town. which has been a big help, We are able to leave town and not worry about Judy's care... If you are looking for a dog walking service you can't go wrong by choosing Hot Diggity Dog, and teh price is right for the service provided... read more

Donna is simply fantastic. I had a bad experience with a former dog walker and had nearly sworn off the whole group-walks-and-play situation altogether. But, I could tell my often-anxious fox terrier, Molly, needed more exercise than she was getting. Donna came over to my house and let me talk extensively in detail only a dog-owner can really achieve about my terrier and my concerns. She was fantastic with her and answered all of my questions. In the first few weeks, Donna called me personally to give me an update and even moved Molly to a different play group so we could get just the right fit for her. Molly had some minor digestive issues causing a few trips to the vet, and Donna was incredibly responsive and accommodating with my questions about whether Molly was picking up anything strange off the ground, the state of her stool and my request to restrict treats until we figured out what was going on. I spent a week working from home and got to meet the dog walker who picks Molly up everyday. He was surprised to find anyone home in my apartment, but was incredibly gracious and agreeable. The best part was seeing how Molly would leap off the couch and sit with her tail wagging at my apartment door at (seemingly) random. Of course, a few moments later I would barely hear the building's door open, and a few seconds after that, a knock at my apartment door. If my dog is leaping off the couch in excitement at the sound of Joey's car on the street (which I could never detect), I know she's having a fantastic time. And, of course, a bit selfishly-- she's calm, exercised, socialized and even a little sleepy by the time I get home from work in the evenings. I highly recommend Donna and her dog walkers! read more

I have known Donna for about 15 years in my capacity as a dog trainer and can easily say that she runs one of the best, most responsible and well organized dog walking services in San Francisco. Over such a long period of time you really get to see how people run their business, how responsible they are, how well they really know dogs and how deeply they care about what they're doing. Donna clearly excels in all of these areas, which is one reason why she's been around so long. I have been out on trail walks with both her and her employees and observed the meticulous care that's put into managing the group of dogs as well as training her employees. From how to respond if there is a jogger coming down the trail to if one of the dogs spots a squirrel, Donna has a system designed to handle all of it. In short, I highly recommend Donna's service not just because she's really nice and I like her but because as a dog professional myself, I know she knows what she's doing and have seen her demonstrate it for a decade and a half. And that's quite something in a world where anyone can hang out a shingle and say they walk dogs. read more

Sofia, our Italian Greyhound, has been going on group walks with Donna's service for over a year now and we are very happy! Roxy is the dog walker that picks Sofia up every day and she is great. Sofia is generally shy with people but gets very excited when Roxy comes so we can tell she likes her! Roxy has also done some pet sitting for us and we have been very happy. Donna sends us videos of Sofia playing with the other small dogs in her group and she looks like she is having so much fun! I would highly recommend this service. They are reliable, trustworthy and skilled dog people. I'm so happy we found them and that Sofia has some fun during the day when we're at work! read more

Donna and her team are fantastic. I've never used a dog walking service before and was worried about leaving my dog Winston alone all day while I was at work. Donna came to my house and reviewed her program, and then we tried it out. Winston LOVED it! He is doing very well with the mid-day outing and is calm when we get home in the evenings. Sometimes I am around when Donna stops by and Winston immediately drops whatever he was doing and races to the door. I can really tell that he loves his trips! I'm new to the city, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I started Donna's program. I am happy to say that she and her team are very professional and truly care about the dogs. Definitely a great pick. read more

Donna and her team are life savers! I have a tough time trusting my little bear with anyone but after meeting Donna and watching her interact with Yuki, I was very much at ease. She comes home very happy, well behaved and I really enjoy the updates and pictures. I can't wait to have Yuki walked everyday. Thanks Donna! read more

I feel so fortunate I found Donna and her crew (especially Melissa who walks my dog regularly) because they are exactly what we needed. I spent awhile looking for a group I felt comfortable taking my dog on adventures a couple hours per day. He's got a lot of energy and I was nervous about his poor recall and whether they would ever be able to let him off leash. They worked with him and didn't let him off leash until they were comfortable that he would always come back to him. Since then, his recall has improved dramatically and he's always tired out when we get home. We started off on a sort of trial basis at 3x per week and quickly realized how much better it was for all of us if he was going everyday. Melissa would come to pick him up and he was always excited to see her. We also use their overnight pet sitting service every once in a while and it's been amazing as well. I never have to worry when he's with Donna and her team. I love too that they have multiple groups which allows them to shift around packs to make sure the dogs are a match for size and energy. I also love that Donna's communication is stellar. The first issue we had (my apartment key fob is plastic and broke which has happened to me as well) Donna called and the first words she said were "Your dog is OK" which was amazing. My heart raced when I saw her calling and it immediately put me at ease. On a more regular basis, Donna provides the perfect amount of communication. She'll text us if he's having dietary issues, and we can check the Diggity Dog Facebook page for pictures of our boy in action. Donna has put together an organization that you can tell is run very professionally, while still maintaining a really comforting level of personal communication. We love working with her and her team and have already recommended Diggity Dog to our friends! read more

Diggity Dog has taken my dog Penny on daily walks for the last 3 years and we couldn't be happier! They are very reliable, post the cutest photos and Donna is so easy to communicate with. She has a great team of walkers that take the pups on some great adventures! Cant say enough about Diggity Dog! read more

Diggity Dog - Penny out on a walk! - Dog Walkers Near Me

After my previous bad experience with a walker (see my reviews), I looked around. It was hard to find anyone who served my area. I live right on the edge of Diggity Dog's service area, and was in the process of moving at the time. After I told Donna about the situation with my previous walker (see my reviews), they took my dog on almost immediately. The amount of stress that took off my shoulders is difficult to fathom. They've been extraordinarily helpful with Trooper. They've extended petsitting on late notice when I had issues at home, helped me manage his allergies and stomach sensitivities, and provided me regular updates (pictures and videos) of the little guy having a lovely time. Trooper absolutely adores Donna and Joey, his regular walker. Every time Joey shows up, Trooper wags his tail furiously with excitement. I love Trooper, and I can tell they all do, too. Donna has several years of experience running the business, and it does show; her policies and processes are pretty effective at minimizing hassle. However, it's really about the animals for her. She's been a valuable resource as I've struggled some with Trooper's food sensitivities, and has always been about taking great care of her clients' dogs. I don't think she or any of her walkers would do anything differently if Trooper were their dog instead of mine, and I like that. Emphatically recommended. read more

Simply the best. Roxy and her team are great about always picking up our pup on time, sending us text and photo updates, and always making sure our pup is taken care of well. Prices are very reasonable and they're always available for us on weekends and holidays. I honestly think our pup actually looks forward to us leaving town so she can hang out with Roxy and her other dog friends! She's got 5 stars for a reason! read more

Diggity Dog - Roxy sent us this photo of our pup on Christmas Day. This picture was the best present we could've received! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Ashley with Diggity Dog has been walking our Dalmatian Lupo since July. Lupo has returned from the park each day happily exhausted. Lupo is always beyond excited to hear Ashley at the door and we are thrilled to have such a tired, happy dog to come home to each day! Donna and Diggity Dog have been fantastic to work with as our work schedules have shifted and have always found a comfortable place for Lupo to stay as we go on weekend adventures and vacations. Lupo loves his weekend romps with Roxy and friends. read more

It's been 1 year since my review and we've been using Diggity Dog for a few years now. We recently moved and before we made the decision I contacted Donna to make sure we would still be in their service area. That's how great Donna, Roxy and the rest of the Diggity Dog team are! It's Christmas Day and Roxy just took the time out of her Christmas morning to send us an adorable pic of our pup in a Santa hat which totally made our day. Super reliable, reasonably priced and the comfort of knowing our dog is in such great hands is priceless. I don't know what we'd do without them! read more

My dogs LOVE Joey from Diggity Dog, he has rock star status with them both! Donna, proprietor of Diggity Dog, came recommended through our neighbor and I am very happy to have our dogs as part of the Diggity Dog Crew. One thing that I really appreciate about the service is the dogs don't just go on a neighborhood walk, they go on adventure every day and are able to romp and roam off leash in beautiful parks and beaches with their walking pack buddies. Joey is great with both of my dogs. He took on my puppy at 9 months as soon as we adopted her and both Joey and Donna were great in helping to reinforce the basic commands and manners and it really made an impact on her behavior. My other dog is very-very-very shy and doesn't take to new people well. But like magic, Joey was able to win Winston over and now when Joey rings the bell, Winston is the first one at the door to greet him. I love the Facebook page, it's great to see what the pups are up during their adventures! I really appreciate Donna's professionalism and organization on how she runs her business. She is consistent with her invoices, keeps us abreast of any changes thru her communications. I trust my little pack with Donna and Joey. read more

Donna came highly recommended to me by a good friend. I've been very pleased with the care she's given my two year old cockapoo, Francis, and the service she's given me since day one. When we moved to San Francisco four months ago, I was super nervous about finding a new dog walker because Francis had been with her previous one since she was a baby and she absolutely loved him. However, from the first time I spoke with Donna, I was impressed with her vast knowledge and strong business sense. I could tell that she was running a smooth operation - and that was important for me. She also expressed a lot of enthusiasm around getting to know my dog - which is ALSO very important for any dog owner -- and finding the right doggie group for Frank. Not only does she make sure Francis is walked every day (and that she is happy), she has also offered me a lot of sound advice (e.g. what to do with an anxious barker; how to treat a sliced paw; how to deal with ticks, etc.). She is extremely responsive and accommodating and her genuine passion for this job (and care for my dog) comes through in all of her communication. I am so grateful to have Hot Diggity Dog Walking in our lives! Both Francis and I are very happy. Best, Chrsitine read more

I could not be happier with the 2.5 years that my dog, Max, shared with Donna and the Diggity Dog family. I almost never saw them, but I feel like I know the few people who walked Max everyday and took him into their homes while I was away. My dog always was happy and well exercised when I came home from work. I trusted that if anything was out of the ordinary either with my dog or the usual routine, I would get a heads up from Donna. She and her team are aces - extremely trustworthy and do a great job. Unfortunately, I have moved out of the service area and all I can do is hope to find a group I trust as much as Diggity Dog! read more

My dog, Riley, is my best friend and part of our family. Donna and her team know how much we love our pets and take their dog-walking responsibilities seriously. I am a nurse and have a random work schedule, Diggity Dog walkers are flexible and always honor my unique scheduling requests, even on short notice. Their personal touch lets me know they are taking good care of Riley on his walks. Just today, Donna texted me, to take a look at Riley right front paw when I got home. His walker noticed he was licking it and wanted to make sure he was ok, (his paw is fine BTW). Riley LOVES his walkers and when they come to get him, he whines with glee and practically jumps into his collar and leash to go. I am so grateful to have a trustworthy, reliable, affordable walking option. Riley is a happier, healthier dog thanks to Diggity Dog walking :) I highly recommend! read more

A great company, we have used them for both dog walking and sitting and our picky pup has loved all of the staff and her walking groups. She is especially fond of current walker Chloe. Team is very responsive and accommodating and always have the best interest of the dogs as first priority. We always love seeing the photos from the walks. Highly recommended! read more

My dog has been with Diggity Dog for 13 years and Henry and I have liked all the walkers. Presently we have Chloe and Henry it utterly besotted. He is getting old and I was worried about having him board for the first time. Chloe has a gentle touch and has made it seamless. On one occasion Henry was feeling poorly and Chloe immediately contacted the vet and got the meds needed. It is lovely to know my old dog is in such good hands. I will always use Diggity Dog. read more

This is the best dog walking and pet watching service! I've been through a few in the city and have never felt as comfortable and safe about leaving my dog. Donna & co answer all of my questions patiently and thoroughly so my pup and I know exactly what to expect. In particular, my pup loves his dog walker Chloe and every time she takes him for a walk or weekend stay in know he is happy and in great hands! 10/10 recommend! read more

Donna and her team are phenomenal. Bella loved her daily walks with Jen, and Donna will record the puppies playing and posts it on YouTube so you can see for yourself how much fun they are having! Having never used a dogwalker before, we were a little nervous about giving strangers keys to our house. Donna is bonded and insured, and takes great care when choosing her team, and our house and puppy were always safe and sound when we got home from work. We cannot recommend Donna and Hot Diggity Dog more! read more

Donna and her crew have been walking my dog for almost 2 years now. When I first moved to the city, I did a lot of research into dog walking services before deciding to meet Donna. My 100 pound lab is a big goofy dope, but he can occasionally be picky and quite a handful. Donna met me at home, gave me an estimate of what she would charge me and threw in great pointers for vets, pet stores and cool places to go with my dog. Over the next few months, she became my pups' third favorite person in the whole wide world (after mom and dad, of course). He'd hang out right inside the door waiting to hear Donna's steps in the stairwell. She and I developed a good rapport as well, and she has always been very proactive about bringing up any issues she noticed (Mocha wasn't very active today - is he eating well?; Mocha is putting on weight - how about fewer treats?). I couldn't be happier with the service. Unfortunately, we have just moved to a part of the city that Donna does not service. And then I got this great note from her. She had taken the time to call around and find a few walkers in my new neighborhood, vet the list and got back to me with recommendations. Who does that any more? These are great people, your dog will be very happy :) read more

Donna has a home boarding service in addition to dog walking. Our little puppy, Lucca, must be having a good time because he gets excited now every time he sees Donna's house. She has two dogs of her own, and usually a small number of boarders, and you can tell that she and her family genuinely love, enjoy, and care about their four legged clients and their two-legged companions. She often sends videos of doggie playtime, which does a lot to assure us that when we're on vacation, puppy is too. It read more

Donna started taking in pets in her home in Oakland for overnighters. Ralfi, who has never been boarded before, spent a couple of nights in her family home. He came home so happy and fulfilled (and loving). A few months later I boarded him at a Yorkie rescue place. He wouldn't look at me for two days, he was so angry. We are going back to Donna. Hot Diggity Donna! read more

Donna and Joey are the best! We started using Hot Diggity Dog walking service back in September for our 8 year old Japanese Chin. He LOVES it! He's excited to see Donna and Joey when they pick him up. He comes home tired and is calm and happy during the evening. We've also used the pet sitting service. LJ stayed with Joey while we were in Hawaii this November. We received many updates including video and photos on how our little guy was doing while we were gone. Joey treated LJ like one of the family during his time there. LJ came home in good spirits even though we were away for 10 days. We are very happy with the care LJ gets with Hot Diggity Dog! read more

Hot Diggity has been walking my four-legged friend now for about 6 months. They were a HUGE help in my transition from LA to SF and being a reliable trustworthy business was just what this stranger to SF city livin needed. Donna and Roxy came and met my dog and I when we signed up for their services. It was a great relief to see Tini take right to them. Having never used such a consistent walking service on a weekly basis I was nervous but now I'm completely worry free when I see the pictures and updates on how my dog is doing. Thanks so much guys! read more

Hot Diggity Dog Walking provides wonderful, caring, reliable. Secure daily care for our dog. They pick him up in a van at our home, take him out to a secure park, or beach location to run and play off-leash for a full hour with a small group of other similar-temperament dogs, then return him safely, happily, and exhausted! We have been totally pleased with the service Donna's company provides. Our dog is like a child to us, and we want him in the best of hands. Donna's service, whether handled individually by her or by one of the other dog-walkers she employs, is loving, safe, fun and reliable. Our dog has been going out with Donna for more than three years, and he looks forward to the van's arrival every day. When our dog has had health issues, Donna has been the first to help and identify them. In fact, during an emergency, she whisked our dog off to an emergency vet appointment and stayed until she knew he was OK. She has also been terrific at helping train and reinforce training. In addition, she makes it easy to get our dog to a groomer when necessary. I HIGHLY recommend her and her service. read more

I can't say enough about Hot Diggity! We've been with them for over 3.5 years now. They are flexible, handle our last-minute requests and are very trustworthy. Donna and her staff are wonderful with our dog. He always comes home happy and tired. If you're looking for a dog-walking service, look no further! With our hectice schedules and busy life, Donna and her staff make life just a little be easier. Check them out! read more

Donna is the best! I brought home our rescue terrier mix Taffy on a Friday afternoon without any notion of what we would do when we went to work on Monday. Donna came to our home that Sunday and Taffy has been with her (and Roxy, our dog walker) ever since. Because Taffy was abused and abandoned in her past life she had some fear issues, and our behaviorist at SFVS even commented on how lucky we were to have found a dog walker who knew so much about dog behavior...We love Donna and Roxy! Taffy now has dog friends from her daily walks with Roxy while my husband and I are at work, and Taffy has been to slumber parties at Roxy's when we are out of town. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible! read more

Donna and her crew are top notch. They are great with my dog and he loves them. He's always wiped out when he comes home so I know they show him a good time. I also travel for work spontaneously and Donna is always able to accommodate overnights on a moments notice. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. read more

Donna and her team are the best! I have been using Donna's services for over 4 years now - first with my precious pup Guapo that I had to put down last fall and now with my new puppy Ellie.. Donna truly cares and becomes attached to your dog. If it wasn't for Donna and James I don't know what I would have done when I was going through Guapo's lung cancer and treatments. James is responsible for extending Guapo's life - he noticed Guapo wasn't being is usual active self on their walk so Donna and James called me at work to see if they could take him to my vet, so of course, I told them to do so. As it turns out, that was the onset of Guapo's lung cancer and his lungs were filling up with blood and if we wouldn't have gotten him to the vet when we did and if they hadn't have drained his lungs when they did he likely would have suffocated. Through out Guapo's treatment they paid extra special attention to him and monitored his every move for me and gave me daily reports. I seriously don't know what I would have done with out them. Being at work all day - I needed that extra someone - and they were truly like family - even through his passing. My decision to get another dog was made all the easier because I knew that I would have Donna and her team help me out along the way. Donna even helped me with finding a name for Ellie!! You can definitely count on your pooch to be well taken care of and loved by Donna and her team. They will become a part of your extended family and your dog is treated like such. I can not recommend them more highly! Not to mention - her overnights are awesome... to have someone come to your home, pick up your pup up and have them stay in a home with someone that they see everyday and love! Doesn't get much better.. read more

These guys are the best! I've worked with Donna and her team and they are absolutely fantastic. I've had several dog walkers in SF and none have had the professionalism and care of Hot Diggity Dog Walking! They take great care of my pooch, communicate flawlessly, have great rates and do all the things to make your dog feel loved! They're just outstanding! read more

Everyone in our family LOVES HDDW, especially Jake (our Golden). His daily walks are usually with Doug who Jake absolutely adores. In fact, he sits by the door every day waiting for his "Fun Pack" to come and pick him up. With our schedules changing at the drop of a hat it's nice to know that Donna can ALWAYS accommodate us, even last minute. She's is seriously organized and we love that. It's also fun to get videos of Jake playing with other dogs and just simply being himself. The worst thing about HDDW? They aren't in our new city! read more

I met Donna in the park 5 years ago and she has been walking my Chihuahua, Scooter, in her "small dog group" of Hot Diggity Dog walking ever since then! Donna came to my apartment for an initial visit and showed me pictures of the other dogs that were going to be in his group. Since my guy is so little, it was important to me to see how small the rest of the group was going to be. Donna was one of the few walkers in North Beach at that time who offered a specific group for small breeds and that was the deal closer for me! Over the last 5 years, I have been left many surprises- pictures of Scooter dressed up on Halloween, a video of him playing with his friends, and more pictures showing him playing. It is nice to get to see what he does when he is with Donna and her assistant Keith (who is also very sweet to little Scooter). Their excellent communication, reliability, and love of animals keeps me coming back year after year to Hot Diggity Dog walking. I would recommend this services to everyone with a dog. It makes the dogs happy to get out of the apartment during the day and it gives the owner much more flexibility with their work or social schedules. read more

Donna has been just wonderful in organizing the care of our Westie Bebe! We have used Hot Diggity Dog for 1 1/2 years now and have never had a complaint. In fact, Donna has been very flexible when our schedule changes and is always accommodating. Doug, who is our walker, is also fantastic. One day Bebe must have rolled in some poop and he went out of his way to take her to a self wash and shampoo her before bring her home. And...we were not charged for it.. We were so appreciative. I have happened to be home on one or two occasions when Doug has come to the door for Bebe and it is a joy to watch her jump and get so excited to go with him. Hot Diggity Dog is the BEST! You can not got wrong with them! read more
