Dogs Crossing is easily the absolute BEST doggy business ever. The owner, Rachelle Mellanby, is kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about her job and every single one of her clients. If you're looking for someone to walk, train, board and care for your pet, stop looking!
I contacted Dogs Crossing over a year ago to inquire about their dog walking services. I was a first-time dog owner with a busy work schedule and a difficult, spunky German Shepherd puppy on my hands. Rachelle came by the very next day for a consult and my puppy immediately fell in love. Over the following months, even though my dog only spent one day out of each week with the Dogs Crossing team, Dogs Crossing quickly became his second family. He would sprint to the front door every time he heard the Dogs Crossing van pull up and come home with a big, goofy grin, panting (though always hydrated!) and totally pooped.
Rachelle clearly communicated Dogs Crossing's policies, rates, and daily pick-up times and was always available to answer my (many) questions. Her team was consistent and organized, but nonetheless very accommodating of my busy and unpredictable schedule. I knew that my dog was in good hands every single time.
The Dogs Crossing team's attention to detail is unparalleled. They have two daily pack walks and each day, organize the packs around the individual dogs, their personalities, and their needs. Rachelle and the other dedicated members of her team would frequently send me pictures of my pup and his doggy friends on their walks, write me detailed updates of his adventures, towel him off before he got inside, and put him back in his crate. They always went the extra-mile too, checking in on us when I cancelled walks if my pup was under the weather, offering helpful suggestions for how to adjust him to a Halti collar or how to get him to eat more...
And though I didn't need any convincing, I've seen Dogs Crossing in action: one day while walking through the woods, my pup, who always walks by my side, suddenly bolted away from me. I chased after him and found him a few seconds later with Rachelle, who was on a pack walk, surrounded by dogs of all shapes, sizes and colours. It took some convincing to get him to leave her and his friends behind...
Tl;dr: I could not recommend Dogs Crossing more strongly. read more
