Delighted Pets, more specifically, the proprietor, Magali, was our trusted dog walker for over 5…read moreyears in San Francisco. She was more than a dog walker, she was Rufus' (our pooch) second mother. Because of Mag's affection and caring nature, leaving Rufus in her care allowed for us to take vacations and meet demanding work schedules with zero concern for our dog's well-being. As our hired dog walker, Rufus popped up with uncontrollable excitement every time she came to our home to pick him up. Unfortunately, we had to end our time with Delighted Pets as we had to leave the Bay Area. We are about to take our first trip since arriving in our new home and the stress of having to find a credible and trustworthy service is now front of mind. It further reminds us of how much we relied on and truly appreciated Mag's services. We are desperately trying to get her to relocate to the Midwest. However, since that is an unreasonable expectation, do yourself and furry one a great service by contacting Magali at Delighted Pets. We all miss her. Amy, Adrien and Rufus

I have only used DoggieWalks for dogsitting, so I can't speak to their walking services. My…read moreexperience has been in 2023. All but one of their reviews seem to be from several years ago, before the company changed ownership. It seems like this used to be a great company. Under the new ownership, it seems like a mismanaged company that can't be trusted -- at least for dogsitting. The dogsitter herself seems great and my two dogs really liked her. She watched my dogs at her place twice in 2023. The first time -- a short stay -- all seemed good. The second time -- a week and a half -- my dogs and all of their things (beds, leashes, toys, etc.) came back smelling disgustingly musty. It turned out that their beds were moldy! (They were not moldy before the dog sitting.) I had to bathe my dogs and wash their stuff twice to get the smell out. But I still had to throw out one of the dog beds because the mold would not come out. Luckily, my dogs haven't gotten sick from the mold (at least not yet). When I reported all this to the DoggieWalks administrator, her response was "not a problem." In addition, the billing and customer service leave a ton to be desired. Both times I used DoggieWalks, they tried to overcharge me. The first time, they sent me an invoice with an amount that made no sense. I wrote back to explain what I thought the total should be, based on their rates, and they wrote back to agree. They gave me instructions for paying by Venmo. It didn't seem like a big deal the first time. The second time, a few days went by and I had not received an invoice. I honestly wondered if they were delaying it because they were trying to figure out how much of a discount to give me due to the mold conditions. Nope -- several days after picking up my dogs, I got an email and a text from them asking me when I was going to pay the invoice that they had supposedly sent. Their email mentioned an amount but did not attach an invoice. I wrote back to say that I never got an invoice and I needed to see it before paying because the amount they mentioned seemed high. Later they emailed me not an invoice (which apparently didn't exist, despite their claims to have sent it to me), but screenshots from their system showing how much I owed. It was $120 less than the amount they had put in their email asking when I was going to pay! They didn't provide payment instructions, so I asked for them. The response was "Shoud be in your Venmo." What kind of customer service is that? Then they gave me a name that doesn't exist in Venmo (it's a person's name, not DoggieWalks). I had to write back for clarification before receiving the correct name to Venmo. The billing was finally straightened out, after 12 emails and texts back and forth, with no apologies, no explanations, no discounts offered. Use this company at your own risk...

We do walks 3 days a week and every day they come hope happy and tired from a full day of play. Nely is ultra considerate to the dogs as well as to us, for example, our long hair dog turns into a sponge in the rain but Nely always has her dry and clean before gettin home, a minor detail, but speaks to how dedicated Nely is to doing such a great job. You can follow along you pup's adventures on Nely's instagram @nely.thedogwalker which is a great way to check in on our pup and see how much fun they are having. Lastly, before you look to kennel your dog for longer trips Nely does overnight stay as well and having our dogs with someone they know already is an incredible piece of mind when we travel. Seriously, you are going to be hard pressed to find another dog walker your dog or you will love even half as much. Thanks Nely!

Before finding Ida we were at our wits end trying to stimulate our pup, having exhausted dog walks and doggy daycare. Well, Pico finally met his match with Ida who took him on more than 3 extended off leash romps per day, often at some of the most scenic places in the Bay Area. Important Ida was also extremely caring and dedicated, and really went the extra mile for her dogs and her clients. She kept Pico late on multiple occasions, and one time even saved us a trip to the emergency vet by skillfully removing a stubborn foxtail herself! We were sad to leave Ida behind when we moved away from the Bay Area, and Pico was too! We cannot recommend her highly enough.

It's been two years since I've updated my review of K9 Safari and in light of a less than favorable…read more(and in my opinion unsubstantiated) review they received today (which has already been removed) I thought it appropriate to provide a more thoughtful update. I have been utilizing the services of K9 Safari since their inception. In fact, I was their first client and they are currently walking my very sweet but skittish and high maintenance border collie mix. They previously walked a lab and lab mix for me who have since passed on. I myself am not a dog walker but one of my hobbies is pet photography and I have gone on several walks with Megan and Jay at Fort Funston so that I could take pictures for my portfolio. I can tell you that in my personal experience they did not walk more than 6-8 dogs per person, although sometimes they will take groups of 8-10. Yes, sometimes Megan and Jay walk together (they are married) so there is a large group but never at anytime do they let any dogs stray from the pack. They are always on top of their game, calling the dogs every few minutes, and giving them treats and praise to keep them in line. Fort Funston is for the most part heaven on Earth for dogs, but there is a shooting range across the highway and sometimes the sound of the shots can scare some of the dogs. If you have a dog that is literally gun shy then either have them kept on leash or use another service that doesn't go to FF. K9 Safari goes their often and that is one of the reasons I use them. I'm pretty sure they also provide specialized walks for puppies and senior dogs but you'd have to confirm that with Megan. I'm not saying they've never run into problems. K9 Safari has a lot of clients and unfortunately they have had a few incidents recently but they were ACCIDENTS and it could have happened to anyone. No matter how sweet, or great, or trained a dog can be there is always a chance that something can set them off, which could lead to them run away or turn defensive and or aggressive. They are DOGS, not people! Thankfully Megan and Jay are very quick to respond to emergencies, and their company is bonded and insured. Not only are they responsible and professional, the love they have for their dogs is palpable. I feel completely safe leaving my dog under their supervision and would recommend them again and again.

If it's on a Monday after a long weekend, he whines until the car stops, other days he just can't stop wagging his tail. Vanessa's place is like Samson's second home but I'm starting to get the sense that it might be his favorite place to be and my house is just a place for him to sleep . We've taken him here for 2 years now and he has just grown to love it more and more over time. On the first day when we went to tour the place, he found a cozy dog bed and laid down while we hung out and talked. As time went on and he became a regular, he developed a love for sunbathing which we had no idea about (being in San Francisco and not having a large backyard). Whenever my wife and I travel, we feel so comforted knowing he's staying with people who we can trust. And what is it like for Samson when we go on long trips? He's having his own vacation, at his favorite place with his buddies and some of his favorite people!
