I have been using K9 Rockstars for walks for a little over two years now for my dog, Rusty. I…read morecannot say enough positive things! Andrea's passion for dogs and animals in general is evident in every interaction. When I hand over Rusty to be walked, I am not only getting excellent exercise and socialization for him - I am getting peace of mind that he will be safe and well taken care of as part of a pack that is both respectful to the community and has FUN. What sets K9 Rockstars apart is professionalism and reliability. Every change in schedule is communicated well in advance. Pickup happens at the same time every week, like clockwork. I always feel comfortable communicating any changes or concerns on my end, and know that if anything unusual happens on the walk (has not actually happened as of yet) I will hear about it. During the walk, the dogs run, play with ball, and get HOMEMADE TREATS like chicken+cheese. Rusty always comes home happy and excited, which quickly descends into tiredness since he's been so well run. The walks give me space to work on projects, clean my house, and other stuff where balancing focus with the dog often makes things a little more difficult. I couldn't be happier with K9 Rockstars and Andrea's exceptional service. Rusty adores her, and I have complete trust in their care. If you're looking for a reliable, loving, and professional dog walker in San Francisco, look no further than K9 Rockstars and Andrea. They truly are Rockstars!

Mirla is a phenomenal trainer and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's extremely…read moreknowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, and professional and I am so grateful to be working with her. Mirla's approach to training is patient, kind, evidence-based, and methodical. Her extensive experience really comes through and yields incredible results. I recently got a new puppy and Mirla has walked me through every single step of the way with sage guidance, calming reassurance, ample reference materials, and unwavering support. She has always made me and my puppy Luna feel like a priority even though I know she's juggling many other clients.

With Mirla's help and expertise, I am raising a confident, obedient, sweet, and very happy puppy who's going to be a wonderful companion to me for the next ~15 years.

After 6 years of working with Miller's Menagerie, and recommending them to so many people, it…read moreabsolutely pain and saddens me to have to write about my most recent (and last) experience with Jonathan. Please see below for the message I had to send: I think it goes without saying that effective immediately, Daisy will not continue to be under your "care" in any way. After speaking with multiple friends with dogs, other dog walkers and her veterinarian, there is not a single person who thinks what transpired today was remotely okay. You not only told me you'd drop her off in the morning and didn't communicate a change of plans, but I had to go looking for her. Using her GPS collar, I found her sitting in the back of your van, in full sun, on a 70+ degree day with the front windows cracked one inch. She was with at least one other dog that I saw. She sat in these conditions for 1.5 HOURS. Not for an emergency or a car repair or an accident, but because of soccer?! Those priorities do not work for me. According to our veterinarian, it takes a 75 degree day to kill a dog in this way. She came home, and for the second time this week after your "care" she drank half her entire water bowl in one go. The first time she did this a few days ago, I thought it was a fluke but now I'm starting to put it together. Even more bewilderingly, this was an ELEVEN minute drive from my house and I was home the entire time wondering where my dog was. After looking at her GPS more thoroughly, I realized that she spent the night near Santa Cruz, at an unknown location for 17 hours. I did not giving my permission to take Daisy out of San Francisco, especially with her injury. It doesn't matter if it was *only* a 70 degree day, it doesn't matter that she was okay, NOTHING you could reply to this trying to justify your actions is valid. I know Daisy, and I know these conditions would make her, or any animal, very stressed. After 6 years, I feel angry, upset, betrayed and sad that our working relationship has to end like this but you've lost my trust to take care of her. Drop my keys off tomorrow- you can leave them under the mat and pick up your leash/ it will be hanging on the door.

They are very accommodating to last-minute time changes since my work schedule - reasonably priced - they occasionally send photos to you throughout the work day and send you a lot more early on to reassure you which is nice - the outside time is closely monitored but off leash and in a park which Olive loves - They're careful to towel her off if she gets crazy dirty. (We have white couches..) - employees genuinely seem like they're super compassionate and love dogs. Olive gets overwhelmingly excited whenever she hears me open the gate for them. - they text!

On October 26, 2023, I was walking my dog on the designated on-leash path near the clubhouse/lake area in Stern Grove when we encountered Adam Teitelbaum walking a pack of approximately 6-8 dogs. Every dog in his pack was off leash, despite this being an on-leash area. Two of the dogs approached us, and one suddenly attacked my on-leashed dog, biting her on the neck. The attack quickly escalated as several of the other dogs became aroused and ran over, mauling my dog. The dog clamped onto her neck and would not let go while I desperately tried to separate the dogs and protect her. During the struggle, I fell to the ground and injured my hip. What upset me most was Adam's response. He remained more than 10 feet away and did not physically intervene while the attack was taking place. If he called his dogs back, I did not hear it. The dogs eventually returned to him on its own after the attack. My dog suffered multiple bite wounds to her neck and body and required veterinary treatment. While the owner of the attacking dog paid the expensive veterinary bills, that does not erase the physical and emotional trauma my dog and I experienced. Adam was responsible for handling a large pack of dogs, all of them off leash, in an area where leashes are required. Based on what I witnessed, I do not believe he maintained adequate control of the dogs in his care or responded appropriately during a serious emergency. Although he told me he was not responsible because the attacking dog belonged to a client, I believe a professional dog walker has a responsibility to follow park rules, keep the dogs under control, and take immediate action when a dog attack occurs. Adam may be friendly, but based on my experience, He is an incompetent dog walker with poor judgment. What stays with me most is not only the attack itself, but watching a professional dog walker stand by while my dog was being attacked.
