We even get videos and pictures so we can see what Emma The Wonder Dog is doing and how much fun she is having (two of the pics in my profile are from her adventures!) I've found the customer service to just be exceptional... Sean is always quick to answer my calls, e-mails, and texts even during nights and weekends. Sometimes I have a last minute schedule change due to my crazy life and they always seem to bend over backwards to accommodate me. Yes, the wait-list is a pain, but now I see why they have it... it was well worth the wait as they take Emma The Wonder Dog to all the places I wish I could take her on a daily basis and treat her like the princess she is! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Sean, the business owner, is an incredibly trustworthy, fair and dependable person and you can tell he absolutely loves our dog like his own (and she loves him). It really shines through that the business and spending time with dogs is something he loves to do. Koa is always tired and happy when she comes back from all her adventures. It's been really fun for us to receive the photos and description after each adventure of where they went that day - all throughout the city. She's explored more of the area hiking trails than we have. We always joke that she is having a better life than we are! We feel so much better knowing that she is getting proper strenuous exercise at least a couple of times a week during her adventure days. It really is a great service

The operation has a distinct small-business feel with competitive rates for the neighborhood. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel/schedule afternoon walks as late as the morning of. You can join even if you just need the occasional walk, or if you need walks every day. We have not had any cancellations or scheduling difficulties, which is such a relief after many last minute cancellations with Wag before we started with UnderDogs. They have been communicative and understanding through COVID-19 and give us the opportunity to pay our walker directly even if we aren't using their services. Our walker has been Kwame - while we've only met him once, our dog clearly absolutely loves him. The only downside is that, unlike Wag or other more app-based services, there's no way of knowing remotely exactly when the dog is picked up and dropped off. However, since we have no concerns about reliability of the company or walker, it has not been an issue.

They have the same regular walker everyday, and when she comes over, our dogs are so excited to see her. The whole team is wonderful to work with. Last minute changes? No problem. Home sick and need to text the morning of? Great. I also love their boarding process. It's so nice to know your dogs are going to stay at someone's home and not boarded at some facility. When our dogs go to "Uncle Greg's", they hop right up on the couch and make themselves at home. I desperately wish they serviced our new area. Could not recommend them enough!

Susie is also great at providing follow-up and additional information, and checking in on our dog's progress. We feel so much more confident as dog owners knowing that Susie is just a phone call away. Can't recommend enough!

We used Wagamuffin for about a year. There were no alarming issues, but I would not recommend this…read moreservice as there are better dog walkers in the area. After using Wagamuffin for a few months, we were prompted to find a different dog walker after two separate individuals in the neighborhood pulled me aside and voiced concern about how unhappy our puppy seemed during his walks. Both individuals felt conflicted sharing this information, but witnessed this on more than one occasion, and as fellow dog owners felt that they should at least let me know. I'm so glad that they did. Although the dog walkers through Wagamuffin showed up as scheduled, and adapted to any cancellations, they were not being kind to our dog during his walks - which explains why he would hide if we were home when the dog walker came. We found a dog walker in the area who was a better match for our puppy - someone that truly loved his dogs, treated them with more care, and exceeded our expectations of service. And, it was remarkable how at ease our dog became and how excited he was to see his new walkers. My advice would be, if you're in a crunch, Wagamuffin is okay. But, if you're looking for someone to really love your dog, look elsewhere.
