Roxie, second from right with some of her pals.
Barbara F.

We were introduced to FitPals right as Janriel was finishing up a walk with a neighbor's dog. We could tell right away that he is a professional AND expert. I quickly agreed to set up a FaceTime with him and Alexandra, and was extremely impressed with their business; they've been servicing the pups of DTLA for 10 years! Fast forward a month later, our shy puppy, Roxie, is thriving! Janriel & Alexandra's consistency, tips/tricks, and overall dog knowledge have made a huge difference for us and our girl. Originally she was terrified of going outside; going to the bathroom was out of the question and she shook like a leaf any time a bus or car drove bar. Roxie is now confident because of her pack walks with Janriel & Alexandra. She is getting proper socialization in a controlled environment, discipline, and affection. As the owners, we are receiving tips on how to help parent that have proven invaluable, especially as Roxie is only 6 months old. Pack walking is an amazing option for any dog, but especially for those folks who have nervous nellies, like we do. I am so happy I met Janriel that day and we began this journey. We absolutely recommend FitPals 10x over and are looking forward to remaining long-term clients. Thank you for taking care of our girl!

They were phenomenal and took such great care of my kitties when I was on vacation. My house was clean and the kitties were happy. I liked their email check-in card after every visit with pics & videos!

My two pups LOVE their walks with Janriel! They always leave and come home with their tails wagging and it's the cutest thing ever. My pups had a regular dog walker in SF and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find one they loved but I was pleasantly proven wrong because they love Janriel and Alexandra! After each walk, Janriel sends an update with photos and a summary of how they did along with their walk path. The walks keep them healthy and happy but most importantly exhausted so mommy can work uninterrupted for the rest of the afternoon .

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a new pack for my dog, Remy, to walk with. I found FitPals and they have not disappointed! Remy loves his walks with FitPals! I also know he's safe with them and I get a recap and pictures from every walk! Highly recommend

We love love love FitPals. Over the years their service has been filled with love and attention to our fur baby. Even when we're just walking down the street FitPals treats me and my husband and our fur baby like we're cherished by them. They are patient and kind. Our fur baby is always so excited to leave for her walk adventures with FitPals. She's a senior but they make it fun and interactive for her. I highly recommend FitPals. Janriel and Alexandra are our doggie angels. We don't know what we would do without them and their unsurpassed service. Thank you FitPals straight from our fur baby's heart

Nothing but good things to say about them! They've taken care of my cat many many time when I was away and it's always been great. They are very communicative, they work around your schedule and, most importantly, they take excellent care of your pet.

The best dog walking services! I would not trust anyone with my puppies. Fitpals are advance professionals when it's comes to dogs behavior, socializing and training. I feel safe knowing my puppies are with responsible and insured dogs handlers on a crazy streets of DTLA. Fitpals helping so much with my foster german shepperd, she was rescued from back yard, was horrified of all the noises and was impossible to walk. Fitpals created plan of action for her and in a such a short period of time she became adjusted to the city, loud noises and many other distractions on the street. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with my pack. Highly recommend to all of my dtla neighbors.

I've been using this service since moving to downtown. They make everything so easy and my dog loves them. They even will pick up my pup if I'm out and that is a huge help! They really are the best around.

We were so lucky to find Yo! Dog. They are simply the best. Everyone who works there is a true…read moredog lover through and through, and it is clear in everything they do that the dogs are the top priority. Our two dogs have been going to daycare regularly for two years. Daycare with pickup and drop off! It is such a game changer having them able to be picked up or dropped off when we're at work. And one of our dogs hates regular car rides, but does fine in the van since it's basically a super cool and safe dog-mobile. Everything started out great with Yo! Dog, and it just continues to get better - the space expanded, the vans upgraded. They're super cognizant about the weather...if it's hot there's tons of shade and misters and extra time inside the AC. We have two dogs - one is a pretty high needs senior dog, and he's treated with extra care and still gets to run around with the young dogs. Everything feels safe and well run and by the book (thorough vetting process of dogs, up to date vaccinations, etc), and yet at the same time it's all so chill and fun. It starts with Bob and extends to everyone who works there. A really great group of people who absolutely adore all the dogs. The communication is on point, and scheduling and paying is super convenient. Our dogs come home just the right amount of tired. And they get excited when they're picked up. Cannot say enough good things about Yo! Dog. Highly highly recommend!

During a scheduled walk, the walker lost my house keys, which had my full address labeled on them. I was in therapy and unable to respond for about 30 minutes. When I did, I had to explain that the keys were labeled with my address; only then did the company bring up calling a locksmith. As a result, my 10-year-old dog was left outside with the walker for an hour, and would have been outside for much longer if a friend hadn't picked him up. It took 3 hours to resolve this issue. The company did pay for the locksmith, but communication was limited unless I initiated it in regard to status of the locksmith, and the owner said she would look for the keys but did not. I was also charged a cancellation fee on a separate day, despite explaining I cancelled because my grandmother had passed away and I had stayed home from work. They also charge $10 extra for "a late booking". Based on this experience and the safety concerns involved, I would not use this service again. The owner communicated with me respectfully but again my safety (single woman living alone) and my dog's safety were jeopardized - while the issue was resolved I'm shocked it happened in the first place. I'm sure this company delivers great services outside of this mistake but I can't keep this to myself as it was extremely upsetting and has NEVER happened in my 10 years of being a dog owner using multiple services.
