My dog has been part of Dom and Huey's pack for awhile now - I can't believe I haven't given them a…read moreshout out on Yelp yet.. I wasn't sure how it would go with a dog walker. My dog isn't crazy about other dogs. Doesn't want to play. Afraid of, and aggressive towards bigger dogs. At 12 pounds ,that's pretty much all dogs. Dom and Huey came over to meet him and assess how he would fit in. They were certain they could easily integrate him into their pack. They definitely made an effort to ensure he felt comfortable with them and with the other dogs. Fast forward a couple of years and my dog is calmer and much more at ease with dogs in general. My dog loves Dom and Huey. He's always so happy to see Dom when she comes to the door to get him. He always comes back from his walk happy and exhausted. The types of walk vary between leashed and off-leash and they have an arrangement so they have a dog park all to themselves a couple of times/week. This makes me really happy because of my dog's history of unpredictability around dogs he doesn't know. Communication with them is professional, easy, quick and clear. Whenever I have a question or need to check their schedule, I hear back from them right away. I board my dog with them when I travel and they keep me posted on how he's doing (including texting me photos). I love that I can check their Facebook page to see what the dogs are up to during the day. And when I expressed some concern about the increase in my dog barking at other dogs on the street, they said they noticed it too and talked to me about how we could address the behavior together. I really couldn't be happier with them, and neither could my dog.

From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and incredibly reassuring. The team communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending me updates, photos, and little notes that made being away so much easier. It was clear my cats were comfortable, well-fed, and genuinely cared for. They took the time to pay attention to each cat's personality, routines, and quirks, which meant so much to me. Coming home to relaxed, happy cats (and clean space!) really say everything. I felt completely confident that they were in good hands the entire time.

The few times I've worked from home, he always runs straight to the door when Samantha or her daughter comes over to pick him up. You can tell that they all genuinely love dogs. They also send cute pictures and videos of the dogs playing, which are always nice to get while at work! The Lazy Bones Dog Adventures team is professional, nice, flexible, accommodating and their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend, and Brewer says, "2 paws up!"

LOVE THEM. They've been taking my sweetie out for a couple of months now and she always comes home totally pooped and happy. Yoga Dog leaves me a note about Lylah's day and even sends me pictures while I'm at work, which is totally awesome! I've learned that my dog is quite the lover and often gives kisses to the other dogs when they get in the car. When Lylah doesn't go out all day for playcare (that's the daylong outdoor trip Yoga Dog offers) she mopes around which is not cute. I highly recommend Yoga Dog if you have a full schedule and need help with walking your dog, or if you just want your dog to have the pack experience. It totally beats those doggie daycares that are all over the Bay Area that keep your dog confined to a play pen all day. I mean, I'd rather run around the trails, so why not give my dog the same option? Yay, Yoga Dog!

I'm just thrilled every time Willa gets to go out to play with them. The fact that they're both SO nice and caring AND that they're environmentally conscious is just icing on their already fabulous cake. They have become a part of our extended family, and I just can't recommend them enough! Go Yoga Dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regulars in the neighborhood and frequent Point Isabelle along with some weekend adventures a couple times a month. We started to fall a little behind for reasons I think we could all relate. El Perrito Dog Walks provided a great solution. We've tried other walkers that offered far less for the similar price. We had an introduction meeting and Melissa, who took the time to discuss practices with our pups and her approach. Our hound and puppy ridgie have plenty of idiosyncrasies and Melissa was very understanding. They use an app (can do it old school of you prefer) that makes it really easy. Put your info in and pick your times. Super straight forward. After an introductory walk we joined the pack! Today we came home after our second walk and not too long after the usual excitable greeting, barky bark and the spunky bunch were toast. Thanks Melissa! WE are most appreciative. Definitely recommend.
