Happy Go Lucky Pet Care offers professional group dog walking in Walnut Creek, CA. This includes on…read moreand off leash walks/adventure hikes. Lisa and Paula provide daily updates of their outing with adorable pictures/videos to share how much fun the doggies have. This always makes my day seeing my dog and her friends having the time of their lives! The doggies also enjoy fresh water and treats during their daily adventures. The socialization, mental stimulation, exercise, fun, and love that my labradoodle, Malia, receives daily for the past 5 years has been invaluable. I always have peace of mind that she is well taken care of, and I never worry about her while I'm at work. Lisa and Paula are extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors and use positive reinforcement in their training to ensure the dog's safety is a top priority during their adventure walks/hikes. They genuinely love their doggie groups, and have always nurtured Malia as if she truly was their own. Malia absolutely LOVES Paula and Lisa! In addition to their exceptional care they provide, Lisa and Paula are very reliable, trustworthy, conscientious, compassionate, and provide the best customer service to their clients with great communication and timely responses. I am extremely grateful for their extraordinary care of my labradoodle throughout the years, and I highly recommend their service as the absolute BEST in Walnut Creek!!

My dog has been with Happy Go Lucky for four years, and in that time Paula has shown nothing but genuine love and care for every dog in her pack and you can tell they adore her right back. Since joining Paula's walks, my dog has gained confidence on the trail, improved training skills, and become a happier, healthier pup overall. She gets great exercise, socialization, and plenty of positive stimulation. Seeing Paula and her pack of furry friends is truly one of the highlights of my dog's day. Not only is Paula wonderful with the dogs, she's also incredibly professional, organized, and communicative. A clear, hard-working person you can always depend on. She truly does it all and does it so well. I wholeheartedly recommend Happy Go Lucky Pet Care for your pet care needs. There's no one else I trust more with my pup!

We love Sondra and Judd and are heartbroken that we can't take them with us when we move out of SF…read more When we adopted our Staffy over a year ago, we scrambled to find a dog walker in the city who could accommodate her. Sondra and Judd were by far the most responsive (a lot of places didn't even bother responding), came over the next day to meet our pup, and got her started on group walks that week. Elle (our dog) loves going out with Sondra every day and romping around with her BFF, and she always comes back tired and happy. You couldn't ask for a more diligent and caring dog walker than Sondra. She's punctual and reliable, checks in and out using the Pet Check app, sends us photos of that day's outing, and always drops Elle off at home with clean paws and a fresh bowl of water. Even after COVID hit and group walks had to be put on hold, Sondra worked around our WFH schedules and still took Elle out on 1:1 outings. We've also relied on Sondra and Judd frequently for boarding services, and I trust them 100% to handle anything that comes up, even health emergencies. On more than one occasion, I've had to leave for overseas work trips right after Elle developed some health issue (like that time she ate an entire bag of chocolate almonds!), and Sondra and Judd have always handled things calmly and professionally. Once when Elle got sick while I was overseas for work, Sondra kept us apprised of her situation and even jumped on the phone at weird hours to help assuage my anxiety. It's rare to find someone who cares about your pets as though they were their own. Thank you, Sondra and Judd, for everything. We will miss you so, so much.

He's been walking and boarding our dog, cashew for the past couple years. He's communicative with organized pick up and drop offs, he's timely, cashew is always so happy to see him for their walks, and he also always sends pictures after walks and boarding with cute messages. I cannot recommend Judd and his company enough. We trust him wholeheartedly and know Cashew is always in the best of care with him!

I met Hollyce almost 2 years ago. I was frazzled as a day old dog mom, with a 6 week old puppy in…read moremy arms, buying a bottle of wine at my local corner store. Hollyce noticed I might need help. She gave me her card and I called her the next day. She has helped me take care of (and learn to take care of) my baby ever since. She is incredibly flexible and reliable, and there is literally no one else I trust my dog with. Prior to Covid, I was working in the field as a social worker. Sometimes I would get stuck at work for hours past when I supposed to get home. On those days, Hollyce always came through, and would pick up Pancho or hang on to him for the entire day. Literally sometimes I wouldn't be back home until 8 at night. Now that I'm mostly working from home, I still ask Hollyce to pick up pancho (because we love her) and if she notices I'm stressed, she'll just hang on to him for me and he'll get a few extra hours of attention in (probably why she has so many dogs on certain days). She is exceptional as a dog walker and trainer, and just as importantly, as a human. We love her so much, sometime we will coordinate trips to the dog park on days Pancho doesn't go with her, just so we can have the joy of playing with her and her well-trained pack. So, if you're looking for for a dog walker who will literally walk that extra mile with your dog, Holly is your gal!!

I was leaving for my annual Mexico trip and my neighbor, who usually walks and sits with my dogs while I'm away, was called out of town on an emergency at the last minute. She was not going to be able to walk my 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I was super nervous and not sure what to do. I had only about a week before I was set to leave. I actually considered cancelling my vacation. Instead, I reached out to 3 pet-sitting / dog walking options. Happy-Go-Lucky - Never responded. FETCH! - Responded 3-days after my inquiry. Happy Tails Pet Setting - Lifesaver! Leslie with Happy Tails Pet Setting contacted me within an hour of my inquiry. She got all of the necessary information (dates, times, pet info, etc) and scheduled a time to come to my home and meet my dogs. I loved getting to meet Leslie and the walker, Ashley, in person before my trip. They understood all of my needs and also understood that I consider my dogs my children. I knew my boys were in good hands with Leslie and the Happy Tails team. Ashley walked my boys everyday on time and sent me a text message update along with a picture of her walking them everyday. She also sent me pics of them getting belly rubs and gave me updates on their cookie consumption! What resonated with me was how happy my boys looked in the pics. It was such a relief to know that my boys were getting to stay on schedule and didn't have to sacrifice because I was on vacation and couldn't bring them with me. Also, I knew they were with someone who really likes animals. Do yourself a favor and don't waste time calling the other dog walking/pet sitting businesses like I did. Call Happy Tails right away and get instant peace of mind.

These hikes are the highlight of Colby's week! She even runs to the door when I say "Jenny will be here soon!" and very clearly loves Jenny as if she's a part of our family. Jenny has really taken the time to understand Colby and her quirks, which we are so grateful for. She also send photos after every hike, which makes us feel like we didn't miss out on the fun ourselves. If you're considering a dog walker, don't hesitate to sign up with Happy Tails!

I'm happy to recommend Jeannette without reservation - and I'm happy to provide a reference to anyone looking for the best for their dog.

I do know however that over the years she had her share of challenging dogs. One of her dog clients had a chronic barking issue. He had an ongoing problem that was so severe it was creating problems between his owner/the neighbors. When Jeanette took care of him she was actually able to stop the chronic barking & he even seemed to enjoy the days that he spent with her. She is good at keeping in touch with her clients and updating both day & night. I highly recommend her and I guarantee that you will be a repeat client.

Our dog Lupin joined the pack at around 8 months of age, as we were looking for a way for him to socialize with other dogs and get some exercise while we had work. He was shy and nervous around other dogs, but also curious. Over the year, with a few group walks a week, he has blossomed into a social pup, and loves to play with other dogs! He has improved his off leash skills and endurance for hiking. It has been an amazing transformation for him one year later! Kelsey was able to have Lupin stay with her over night too, as we both worked overnight occasionally. It was so comforting to know he was always in good hands. He was always safe and happy with her. Kelsey is amazing herself, and is super positive and energetic and will truly love your dog. We were sad to have to move this summer, and we haven't found anything that compares to walks with Kelsey.
