There's nothing worse than that feeling of guilt when you head to work and have to leave your puppy behind. Now that we have Diane, the guilt has gone away! She's extremely punctual, flexible with changes in the schedule and most importantly- she loves Tasman as much as we do! He's always SO excited to see her when she picks him up and he's totally wiped out when she drops him off. A dog owners dream! Additionally, Diane sends daily recaps with pictures after every walk. One of my favorite times of the day is when I get that email! :) Thank you Diane!

We are feeling so fortunate to have found dog walks. Our puppy started at puppy day care just a few…read moremonths ago when he was four months old. Puppy day care has ensured he gets the exercise and socialization he needs while we're at work. We come home to a happily exhausted puppy everyday. Our priorities in a dog day care were 1. A safe and supervised environment for a growing puppy 2. Safe and structured socialization with other dogs. We have noticed that his manners when playing with other dogs have improved so much since he started. When we take him to the park we can clearly see that he has learned how to play with dogs of all sizes and ages. We also love seeing him show up on the dog walks instagram so we can see him enjoying his day while we are in the office. Dogwalks has been so helpful and patient with him. He is so excited to see them show up to pick him up and even happily jumps into the van (he has yet to do this with our cars). We are so happy that our puppy will be able to be in day care and transition to pack walks as he grows up all with the same team.

She began walking Bowie with a lot of love, and importantly socializing with a few other pups. She bonds beautifully with doggies and has been at this for years. We trust her 100% with our pup.

She is a great person and I wouldn't want anyone else to be with my dog during the day. Peanut has really matured and gained confidence under her care. She also has so much great knowledge about dogs and experience working with a Veterinarian. Alexis is easy to communicate with and responds promptly. I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my dog receives! Peanut comes back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised every time. She saved me a few times with great advice on diet changes and getting a foxtail I couldn't reach out of his paw. I feel lucky I can leave to work knowing he is with her so much that I adopted another pup and can't wait for her to be in Alexis's pack. I Highly recommend this service to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their furry baby!

Trisha has been taking care of our poodle mix since he we got him as a puppy in 2010. We were very…read morelucky to find her and she has been the best dog walker/sitter we could have expected for our little guy. You can tell our dog really genuinely likes her because we can bumped into her while walking him and he runs up to her and wags his tail. Also, when he drop him off for boarding (she also boards him when we need to be away), he basically sprints off to her. I feel that she is attentive and does well with our dog and she has been flexible and responds well to our emails and texts--highly recommended!

He was 13 at the time, and somewhat active, but definitely high needs. I grew up with him and always loved him, but taking care of an aging dog is a very big challenge. As you can imagine it was an emotional time for me, and Tricia helped me get my house better set up for Brunie, assured me I was doing a good job with him, and left me daily detailed notes on how he was adjusting to city life. She would txt me if there was a really bad day, so I would know what I was coming home to. She was able to stop by a few times on days I had to work a little later. and worked with me to get a schedule that worked best for Bruno. Each day is a little different with an old man and she was a great judge on if he just needed a little play in the yard, just a short walk, or maybe just some treats and petting. My roommate also has a very anxious cat, that used to throw up every day due to separation anxiety. Tricia would talk to Oliver thru the window daily, and the cat has never been better. There is so much more that Tricia helped me with, but the key take away is that she loves the animals she works with, and even the ones she just walks by. I lost my Brunie, but his last months as an official city dog were made better every day by having Tricia in his life.

When she comes back she naps all afternoon. He takes good care of the dogs. My dog is nervous all the time around other dogs in confined spaces, so when loading the dogs into the van, Chris gives my dog a little special treatment and lets her sit in the passenger seat. Chris also sends photos every so often, whenever I get them I'm so happy to see my dog enjoying playing with her friends. He also tells me about my dog's reactions when they were out in the field, like if she reacted to drones or airplanes flying overhead, so that I could watch out for those. He's very transparent with his communication, if there's an update to the pickup schedule he'll email ahead. He also responds to text messages for real time comms. When I had to travel for a month at a time, he was also very flexible with picking my dog up from my sitter's location. As long as the request is reasonable Chris is very willing to work something out. My dog gets so excited when she hears Chris's van pull up under our window.

Josh and Raquel set the gold standard of excellence in dog care as far as I'm concerned! I've had…read moresome great dog walkers (and some no-so-great ones) over the years, but City Pups SF gets my vote for all around BEST experience for my dog. My critter is a lively and exuberant 3-year old dalmatian mix with very high energy needs. The previous company I tried simply couldn't handle him and treated him as a behavioral problem. (In my defense, I run 4 miles with him EVERY morning before leaving for work). Josh and Raquel came to my apartment, interviewed me (and the dog!) and determined that Samson was actually a pretty great animal and just needs to channel that crazy energy with some off-leash dog walks at McLaren Park with a gang of mutt-pals. Through photographs, texts, and a couple of videos, I've gotten to see just how my dog is handling the group outings and how much he has matured and improved as a result. When I get home from work, my dog is calm and well-mannered and I'm certain it's because of City Pups. I have also seen how Raquel interacts with the dog and it is very clear that she is a trained professional, who clearly likes --and knows-- what she is doing. It's also wonderful as a city dog owner living in SOMA that my boy gets to run around like a crazy coot in the grassy fields of a big park. Another really important bonus is that my dog gets to interact with (and learn from) his "pack." THANK YOU City Pups SF!

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 first met Rob on Crissy Field over a year ago when he was with one of his afternoon groups. He was extremely personable and knowledgeable, with an unparalleled passion for dogs which was made obvious from our first conversation! Unfortunately, he didn't have an opening for our little rugrat at the time so we told him to please give us a call when he did. As we knew when we met him, Leo would be in amazing hands! Luckily, a spot opened up in one of his afternoon groups so we grabbed it immediately! Leo absolutely ADORED Rob from Day 1, along with all of his besties in his play group! Rob made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He made it very easy for us, consistently picking up Leo on time - rain or shine - and always making sure the dogs had the best time. There wasn't a night that Leo didn't come home absolutely wiped, which is saying a LOT for a vizsla! Overall, we simply can't say enough good things about Rob - and we will continue to recommend him to each and every one of our friends that is looking for a reliable, easy-going dog walker!!
