I saw he was recommended on my neighborhood's mailing list so I gave them a call. When I contacted working walks, the owner Dave came by with the walker who would be caring for my dog. They both sat with me and my dog to understand what challenges I wanted to work on and shared their impressions. Then we went on a walk together and they asked me to point out behaviors I'd like to see improve. Dave and his well qualified walker listened and started working on calm greeting of other dogs and sitting before crossing streets. I saw results almost immediately on my walks, and that's continued to today (over a year later!) I can't recommend Dave and his walkers enough, he bends over backwards to make sure your dogs needs and your scheduling needs are met. Oh yeah, he also has an incredible boarding service.

Great name as they are the BEST pet sitters I've had for my 3 dogs…read more Elodie and Moe are spectacular. I am a neurotic owner of 3 dogs and just used them for the first time while my wife and I were out of town for a week. Each one of my dogs has a different personality and they dealt with all of them well; even my newer pup who barked at them forever the first day. I got several photos and videos each day showing my dogs playing, eating, etc. They administered pills and were able to walk all 3 of mine at once. You can really tell they are not just doing a job but really love the animals. Hire these people. They will be my default pet sitting from now on.

Unfortunately we can no longer recommend Leila Knows Best for dog boarding. We were frequent and…read moreloyal clients for years, but the relationship changed over the last 10 months as Moe increasingly focused on how to extract more money from us instead of cultivating a continued positive client relationship. It started with less and less updates and photos when we boarded our dog. When Moe did provide updates it was usually in conjunction with an offer to purchase credits for future stays (which we did and later came to regret). Then Moe started asking us to pay additional fees for stays we had previously negotiated and paid for, going so far as to request those additional fees while he was already watching our dog. This behavior started to make us feel uncomfortable in continuing to use his services and more concerned about leaving our dog in his care. Moe's behavior did not present as someone thankful to clients that consistently supported his dog watching business. We had been loyal clients for years and, this year in particular, had already used Moe's services nearly every month with more scheduled trips through the rest of the year. Despite our concerns, we continued to use Moe's services since we had pre-paid for two more stays through the end of the year. That changed when we requested to reschedule one of the stays. Well in advance of the trip, we asked Moe if he was available for a week the month before our trip. He confirmed he was, but when we requested to reschedule our original trip to that earlier week and use the pre-paid credit, Moe stated he was no longer available. When we referred him to the cancellation policy on his website, he offered the credit, but wouldn't let us use it until the end of the year. We reminded Moe that in the years we've consistently used his services, we have never rescheduled, and explained the importance of rescheduling our trip. Moe subsequently offered to board our dog for the requested week, but wanted an additional $150, despite our pre-paid credit exceeding the amount of time we were rescheduling for. We felt hustled and tried to handle this issue privately, but Moe stopped responding to us. Unfortunately we have lost over $1,000 in pre-paid and unused credit--a costly mistake that we won't be making again. We're sad that our relationship soured in this way, but we could no longer trust Moe and would suggest prospective clients be cautious about doing business with him.

Excellent transparency. Our senior cat requires medication, no one at the service blinked an eye, they handle that all the time. Instructions were also logged in our profile so any/all caregivers could see. We tried a short weekend away first, were very pleased. Then we took a full week's vacation, and are now huge fans. We enjoy the online journals and photos of our cat, which include time-stamping and any concerns. Changing the length of the trip was super easy using the online scheduling, and when I've called the office, they've been very responsive.

So I am actually glad I am not with them anymore, but it would been nice for them to reach out to me before I tried to book.

I've always been happy with the service, but the owner Mike really has kicked it up a notch. He personally walks many dogs, including mine, and is enthusiastic and is above and beyond committed. He loves his dogs and the ones he, and by extension Dog Gone Walking, takes care of and you can really tell. At the end of each service you get a pet journal, where the walker or sitter gives a little report of what your pet was up to or accomplished, as well as a photo and - I won't lie - they're the highlight of my day. This holiday season we also used them to pet sit our two dogs. I was very nervous leaving them, but Mike (and the others - especially Brittany) were great at handling my questions and giving updates. And I think the dogs loved staying at home with people to play with! Their commitment to quality service, working with the customer, and most of all taking good care of our fur babies is priceless.
