In May, I moved to the Central Richmond of SF from living in the inner Sunset of SF for four years,…read moreand I was looking for a place I could trust for dog walks/play group and occasional boarding. WLTDO is the place! As an anxious dog owner myself, it makes me nervous to have my dog with strangers or unknown dogs. The owner, Lauren made me feel immediately comfortable and welcome and she took the time to talk about, meet, and understand my dog, his needs and my needs to match him with an appropriate doggie play group and dog walker. Shoutout to my dog walker Brandon, he is so kind, helpful and always sends me pictures of my guy playing, active and having a blast with other dogs. Shoutout also to Apollo who has watched my dog for 3 trips I've been on from the lengths of 3-6 nights. He did an incredible job and was very communicative. My dog absolutely loves time with Brandon and Apollo and the other doggies Who Let The Dogs Out (WLTDO) is reasonably priced compared to other companies and I could not been more grateful to have found them. Going back to my job this week 8-4. I have a lot of peace of mind, knowing my dog has found a doggy playgroup for an hour every day that will come to the home and take him to a doggy park and give him some excitement and social socialization in the middle of the day so I am not panicking to get home at the end of each day like I used to be. Thank you so much WLTDO team!

He always sends us photos and takes the dogs to different places all the time. Really appreciate the peace of mind from WLTDO!

As everyone else has been saying, Lina is AMAZING with animals…read more One could say my pets would have to like their sitter for me to feel comfortable with entrusting them to that sitter. That said, a pretty good indication of how much your animals like someone is how they greet said person when they see them, and my dogs are no exception. When they see Auntie Lina, they lose their ever-loving MINDS! My Schnoodle/Coonhound Ziggy does this excited grunting when she's REALLY happy to see someone, and she'll do it every time she sees Lina. She doesn't even do it for ME, her own mama! I'm your typical fairly neurotic dog-mom, and I will not entrust my dogs to just anyone. Lina is one of only two people whom I completely trust with my furkids. The times she's looked after them, I've gotten multiple updates per day (with pictures!), and they'll sometimes go special places: the dog park, an agility course, on rides to go walk with other dogs in Lina's care (as long as those dogs are as well-socialized as my two muttsters). I'm sure all of us who have pets whom we love like family want to leave them in the care of someone who'll love and look after them just as well as we do. Look no further--Lina is the one you need!

Our family went on a 1+ week long vacation, and we didn't have to worry about our 8-year old small dog, because he was happily having his own vacation with Jane. Our dog was able to meet & play with other small dog friends (Jane also took care of throughout this period), go on long walks in different parks, lay on soft surfaces, sleep in the bedroom, look out windows onto the street-basically everything he loves to do. Jane sent us daily email updates with photos, which we loved and looked forward to during our vacation. We picked up a very happy and content dog after our vacation. We would definitely use Jane's pet sitting services again and highly recommend her.

I didn't think much of it at first because sometimes small cotton may have been stuck from his cleaning. But he kept doing the same head shake and folding his ears back all morning, so we looked more closely and found more cotton balls in both of his ears. So now we know they definitely forgot to take them out after his grooming session yesterday. Good thing we found the cotton balls today as I had to really pull them out, so not sure if they would have fallen out naturally. Updating review because it seems kind of sloppy.
