Basia, the owner, maintains a fun and appropriate environment for her charges. We would not consider boarding our dogs anywhere else in Marin.

Basia is a lovely human being. She's patient and kind and runs a legit (as in licensed, bonded, and…read moreinsured) pet care business. We did an intake and trial day with our dog, Matilda with her. Unfortunately, it was not a match (our little girl was way too shy and reserved to be a good fit for Basia's pack). But we so appreciated Basia's proactive and kind communication throughout the process. We got to spend some time with Basia and meet some of her other doggie clients, and I was so impressed by her attention to detail with all of the dogs, her honesty and transparency about anything we asked, and the fact that her space is so neat, clean, and organized. She loves her job so much that she has pictures of the dogs she cares for all over her house, which is really sweet. I wish it had been the right match for our dog, but I appreciated Basia's honesty about why it wasn't. I would feel completely comfortable recommending her to others based on the interactions we had with her.

They deeply care about both the dogs they watch and the owners. I have never felt more secure leaving our pup than when he is happily romping into their arms.

Buyer Beware! A mutual dog lover referred us to them and…read moreeven contacted them after we received NO response from emails, phone calls and texts trying to set up a meet and greet. We finally toured the facility and were told we had a 'handshake deal' to board our critter and the contract would be sent 'next week'. No contract ever arrived and we were left to find an alternative facility less than a week from leaving town! How can you trust these people with your loved pet if they cannot even live up to their basic promise to communicate with a new customer? If there was a negative rating it would be well deserved.

Our dog Max started going out with Having a Ball during the 2020 shelter in place. In the early…read moredays, the service was great and Max was happy. Unfortunately, we have had many issues with this company and recently moved Max to another company. Overview of main issues: - Inconsistent schedule, different walkers showing up daily to pick Max up - They use personal cars which are not large enough for 6 dogs to be comfortable. - I regularly saw a dog sitting in the front passenger seat when they would come to pick up Max - this is very unsafe, especially since they are driving from Sausalito to Petaluma on Hwy 101. - Many times on hot days, Max would come home and his fur would be hot to the touch and he would be panting excessively. This made us question whether or not all of the personal vehicles used to transport dogs have functioning AC. - In August, our home alarm was set off twice by the walkers. Both times, Max was in the house with the alarm wailing for an extended period of time. - One day at 6 PM, Max was not home from his walk and we started to get very concerned. Multiple texts and calls went unanswered. Eventually, we learned that a dog had run away earlier that day and all of the walkers were trying to find it. We later learned that our dogs did not get a walk that day- so essentially, Max spent many hours crammed in a car - and we were charged for the walk (!) After this incident, we expected an official communication from the company acknowledging what happened and details on processes being implemented to ensure appropriate communication in the event of a future emergency. Even after discussing this with Richard, no communication was forthcoming. We are left to assume that there is no process in place. - The company stopped offering trail hikes and transitioned to ranch outings as of 10/1/2020. The ranch outings are more expensive and are advertised as being 2 hours. Max wears a GPS - his ranch outings have not been 2 hours (see picture below - at ranch from 1:05 - 1:59). Our estimation is most days in October he spent at least 3 hours in the car for pick up/drop off of other dogs. - The final straw was when a complete stranger showing up to pick up Max on Friday 10/22 - we were not notified that there was a new employee. We have a lockbox - it was highly concerning that we weren't notified and introduced to this new person. To this date, I never received a response to my last email outlining our concerns.

We will continue to drive up to Santa Rosa to use Dessie because of the care and attention she gives our 3 cockers. They love her and aren't afraid when they see her.

So happy we found Dessie for all our grooming and bathing needs.

The best!! Don David…read morehas been the best dog walker I've ever dealt with, his prices are more than fair and my puppy is totally pooped once he returns home after romping with other dogs and going on hikes. I'm pretty sure my dog has a better day than I do every time Don David takes him out. Don David keeps me updated with photos during their walks and makes sure he gets enough shade/water during the hot days. He is a genuinely sweet person and extremely easy to communicate with. I absolutely trust him with my dog and am so grateful to have found him. I now have Don David take my dog four days a week :) Oatie waits for him at the door every morning. He goes above and beyond to ensure your dog has a great day so you can rest easy while away from home. I absolutely recommend Don David to any dog owner in Marin.

What can I say about Don David? He is kind, loves animals and nature, an excellent communicator…read moreand he's a professional. I am Don David's biggest fan! He is a fabulous dog walker as he provides excellent care for my Shih Tzu on group walks. He takes the dogs on hikes and never unloads the dogs in a dog park for an hour. My small dog is in tip top shape from all his exercise. The socialization he provides for the dogs is excellent. Depending on the day he has small dog groups or a great mix of various sizes. Best of all, Don David texts us dog owners, photos throughout the week of our dogs on their hike. It is so nice to know my dog is in a safe environment and playing with dogs of all sizes. I can see that he is happy! I highly recommend Dog Trotters as your dog walking/pet sitter service.

The ER doc said prepare for the cat to die "within days or weeks." Well, thanks to Silvia's care, it is two months later and he's still going and comfy. His kidney readings are less than half of what they were in the ER, thanks to daily fluid therapy. Although I teched at a vet clinic 35 years ago, I would not have been able to administer the daily subcutaneous fluids myself. Silvia's years of vet tech experience help her administer fluids, shots and meds in a way where the cat doesn't even know it is happening. She's great with trimming kitty nails too.

She always has great advice for my dog too, which is very reassuring to the anxiety you feel when a member of your family is having trouble. Call her - you will see what everyone is talking about.
