Our family is a repeat customer and would highly recommend them! Josh took such great care of our dog, Latte (he boarded with him and also went to the adventures). Not only Josh is loving and caring, he also pays great attention to Latte's needs and behaviors. We know Latte has a great time because he's always happy whenever he returns to see Josh. read more

Zip Dog Adventures - Fun times at the beach - Dog Walkers Near Me

I simply cannot recommend this business highly enough. My dog has been going on adventures with Rachel and friends five days per week for 6.5 years, since she was just six months old. The service they provide has never been less than exceptional in all those years. My dog is one of the most important people in my life; she is essentially my child, my best friend, my family. Her health and well being are paramount. My dog comes home tired and happy from romping with her pack friends in the sand and surf. These walks have made her body healthy and strong, and have helped her develop good social skills with other dogs for the weekends when I take her to city parks. On the human side, Rachel and staff are consistently reliable, punctual, and highly communicative about scheduling changes via text or occasionally email. They're also just really nice people! Perhaps the best part is the texted photos of frolicking dogs I receive after every walk when my pup gets dropped off at home. I truly believe choosing this business to care for my dog has helped make my dog more awesome than she already was, and having a well-exercised, engaged, socialized dog makes living in the city more enjoyable for us both. read more

Zip Dog Adventures - Puppies frolicking free at Fort Funston! I get photos like this texted to me after every walk. :-) - Dog Walkers Near Me

Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dog Adventures We would like to express our total satisfaction with Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dog Adventures. From the start, they have been so professional, friendly and reliable. They came to meet our active golden retriever, Buster, and made sure he and 'the group' would mix well. They check scheduling and always advise us when Buster is back home. We especially love the pics of the dogs, that they always send from the day. We can't say how much we enjoy that. Hey, we even get a New Year's calendar from Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dog Adventures and, you guessed it, there is Buster from all through the year. Thanks gang for treating Buster just like he is one of your own! Norm Quimby and David Ramirez read more

Mick Jagger loves Rachel and so do I! We couldn't recommend Zip-A-Dee-Doo Adventures any more! I used to be a dog walker and met Rachel around 8 years ago. They hike the most beautiful trails along the coast, and have a both fun and professional crew. Your dog will come home tired and happy! read more

Zip Dog Adventures - Mick Jagger training for a "super adventure"! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Rachel and Beatrix are amazing!! My dog has a great time going to Fort Funston with them several times a week! Their experience shows in how they form the dog packs, being careful to put dogs with compatible personalities together. They choose when and where they play on a given day (to avoid the heat, enjoy the water, or romp on the bluffs) and I can tell how much planning goes into making the dog's adventure great! Also I love the daily updates on how my dog did, including spectacular photos. read more

Zip Dog Adventures - Dog Walkers Near Me

I've waited to write a review of Rachel, knowing she would do something outstanding, worthy of comment (as if she hasn't already). I am at work as I type this and I've just received a phone call from Rachel. I panicked because I thought there might be a problem. But she said "I know you don't like me calling you at work, but I just had to let you know how good your dog has been today. He is great off-leash and very polite with the other dogs." So.. she called me to tell me my dog was good. Wow. Of course it makes me feel good in a very selfish way (yes, that's my dog, the good one), but also makes me rest assured that Rachel cares about me, and the bond I have with my dog. Rachel has been my dog-walker for 5 months now and I always come home to an exhausted, happy dog. Rachel is friendly, funny, easy to communicate with and thorough. She makes all the difference in the life I have with my dog - in fact, most days, I think she makes it so that I am ABLE to have a dog. While I am more than suited to provide shelter, comfort, warmth and nourishment, I work a full day and take public transportation, so I am gone for a long time! My dog benefits from my weekend attention and hours at the dog park, but Rachel provides something that isn't just a luxury but a necessity - and she does it WELL. She provides updates on how my dog is feeling, how he is interacting, funny things that he does during the outing, and pictures of him being a dog. I couldn't have found someone better. read more

We rescued my sweet pup Stella just about a month ago, and wanted to get her adjusted to city living & ensure she had some serious exercise during the week when we're away. Thankfully, I found Rachel. From our first "consultation" at home, I trusted her with Stella, and her follow up, energy and frequent communication (you get a log of your dog's big day out at the end of the day, sometimes with pictures) has exceeded any expectations I could have. And, what's more: Stella is happily exhausted after a day out on the trails with her doggie pals & Rachel. They go on highly enviable adventures all over. Her pack is very spoiled! I can't think of anything else to say but thank you Rachel! (Stella wholeheartedly agrees). read more

My dog Chewie has been on adventures with ZipDogs for 3 years now. He always comes back pooped! The dog walkers do a great job of sending pictures of my doggie whenever he goes on a walk. I've accompanied Chewie on his walk a couple of times and am always delighted with how much running around the pack of 5 to 7 dogs gets to do. Chewie absolutely loves going in his dog walks and he gets super super excited whenever the dog walker comes by to pick him up. read more

I love Rachel and Beatrix. They take the best care of my little guy every time they go hiking. I get pictures of their adventure every time he goes. I have been with Rachel for over 3 years. I would recommend them if you are looking for a walker to run off that pent up energy of your four legged best friend. read more

My girl Sachi, has been walking with Zip-a-Dee-Doo Dog adventures, on their fab off leash hikes for the last 2 years. Sachi, returns tired and incredibly happy every single time! Not to mention her social skills have really evolved as well. Zip dogs, are my life saver! I love having an active dog for a companion. Unfortunately, during the work week it's not always easy for me to give Sachi the exercise she needs. Thank you Zip-a-Dee-Doo Dog adventures, for giving my working girl the love and stimulation she deserves and needs. read more

Zip Dog Adventures - Dog Walkers Near Me

Rachel and Beatrix are simply the best. Our dog Bim is a high energy lab mix, who needs exercise. Zip a Dee Doo dog walkers take him several times a week when we can't make the time to take him on walks, and he always comes back so happy and exhausted. He clearly loves his dog walkers, when I am home when he's picked up, he runs out of the door without hesitation. Sometimes I wonder if he likes them better than he likes us! They are completely reliable, take him rain or shine, and clearly take outstanding care of him. This is our third year Zip-A-Dee-Doo dog walkers and I am never going to switch to someone else. Thank you so much - I am so glad I found you guys! read more

My poochie, Mr. C, looks forward to his weekday hikes with Rachel and Jenna. They take wonderful care of him and send me daily photos and updates of his hikes. The action shots at the beach explain why he greets them with excitement and returns home ready for a siesta. Rachel and Jenna are flexible, friendly, and responsive. He's in the best and most reliable hands with them. He's been a member of the pack for 5 years and counting. Thank you, Zip-A-Dee, for all that you do for Mr. C and me! read more

I don't think that if I wrote 8 pages of praise for Rachel, it would be enough! She has worked WONDERS with our furry four-legged son, Jasper. Jasper is... shall we say... behaviorally challenged. In other words, he's a country dog at heart stuck in a city. He has an independent spirit and is a bit rough around the edges. Rachel has been working with Jasper for 1 year now and he has transformed into such a proper gentleman! She is not only a dog walker, but a dog trainer, dog hiker, and dog enthusiast. In my experience, most dog walkers around the city pick up your dog, take him to an enclosed dog park for an hour - leaving him to just get his exercise on his own, and drop him off. Rachel takes Jasper out on vigorous hikes where they will trail-blaze through uncharted territory (or as least as uncharted as it can get in the Bay Area!). Our hyperactive and typically bored pooch comes home EXHAUSTED and ready to pass out for hours! And you might expect that such dog adventures would be more costly than the bare bones walks other walkers charge, but she is actually less expensive! You really can't beat it. We also get adventure logs of their walks, telling us where they went, how long they were gone for, and photos of my J-dude in action. My coworkers and I have come to live vicariously through my dog through these logs! I really have nothing but praise for Rachel and her well-behaved pack! And, as Jasper lays here next to me passed out from today's adventure from the beach, what more proof does one really need??? read more

Rachel's been walking my dog for years. She is the best walker in the city. She is 100% reliable, cares deeply about K9s and her clients, and leaves my dog exhausted after every walk. My Rott mix is so much more well socialized and relaxed than she was before she met Rachel. Not many walkers take your dog all the way out to Fort Funston for hours at a time and then give you pictures, notes and songs about their outings afterwards. I don't know what my dog would do without her! read more

She is the best! I get worried about my Winer dog Sirus as he tends to have issues with other dogs sometimes. Since walking with his new pack and Rachel he has improved 100%. He is tired when I get home and happy as can be. She sends the cutest dog logs with pixs so you can see your baby at the beach with his friends. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants someone reliable. She answers my silly questions and gives me great tips. read more

There is no one else out there doing dog walks like this!! For cheaper than most dogs are going to the park, Rachel takes my high energy Shepherd mix on a 1 1/2 to 2 hour off leash adventure walk every weekday. Later on in the evening she sends pictures of the adventure that Trucker had that day! You should see some of the great places these dogs get to go - I'm not sure how she even found such fantastic dog places around San Francisco. In addition to the photos, in each day's Adventure Log I get to know exactly where my dog has gone, how much fun he's having, when he was picked up at my house, where he went and when he was dropped off. She's also very good about letting me know if his behavior is off or whether I should work on some training with him like recall and such. I've seen other dog walkers with like 15 dogs sitting in a dog park. How crappy!! I am really glad Trucker does not have a dog walker like that. I think she also offers discounts to foster dogs which shows how much she cares about all dogs, not just the ones in her "pack"! read more

Rachel is AWESOME! I have an adorable but very complicated dog, and Rachel has not only showed patience and special attention to Indie's quirks, but has also showed interest in helping me to identify why she behaves the way she does, and how we can best help her. She has made numerous recommendations that have been helpful. I can't tell you how comfortable I am daily knowing that Indie is being taken out for a legitimate HIKE with Rachel that she loves and that tires her out superbly:) I don't know what we'd do without Rachel... honestly:) She is professional yet so easy to work with and communicate with, and she sends lots of updates and photos which I love! I can think of only wonderful things to say... read more

Rachel has been taking care of my little guy for the last eight months and has been doing a wonderful job. He is happy and nicely worn out each day and she does a great job sending pictures and giving me updates about the adventures they have. She's also diligent about working with him on good behavior. She's going to be out of town for a bit and she has worked very hard to make sure she found someone I was happy with to take care of Grey while she's gone. Extremely conscientious and loving with her dogs. read more

They are seriously the best dog adventure group ever. My Goldendoodle puppy, Golda Bear, has been going out with Jenna and Rachel ~2-3x a week for about a year and I don't think we will ever stop. I love how much Jenna and Rachel love Golda, and how much Golda loves them...and the friends she's made! As soon as Golda had all of her shots/was spayed, we inquired about the adventures and Rachel came over to do an in-home interview. Golda responded positively to her immediately and it made my helicopter mom instincts just melt away. I do love that they send me pictures every day when they drop Golda off and that they have an instagram account that I can stalk. Golda is always so exhausted after her adventures and I love that I can trust that she's in good hands! I 100% recommend them! read more

Hands-down you won't find a better service than rachel's company! I trust her completely with my precious dog, not to mention with my house key. Slim has never been in such great shape as he is now after months of hiking with her pack. I love that she sends updates and photos of hikes/beach time etc - i feel much more connected and less of an absentee Mom :) I highly recommend her services! read more

Five stars all the way! Rachel and team have taken care of my baby girl since she was old enough to go on walks. They work around my crazy startup schedule, pick up and drop off at both home and office and sometimes will even take her on the weekends when I have non-dog engagements. Wouldn't have survived the last few years without this valuable service. read more

Rachel and Jenna have been taking my dog out for hikes and adventures for 3 years now and my dog comes home happy and exhausted every time! They are excellent at communicating how my dog is doing, completely trustworthy, and they send me pictures of my dog having a blast every time they take her out. I would highly recommend them! read more

ZipDogs is the best dog walking group our dog has ever had. Our dog Luna ran with Rachel's pack for three years, until we sadly had to leave ZipDogs when we moved to the East Bay. Rachel and her crew are amazing especially for dogs who may have some "issues" (like ours with separation anxiety). Before ZipDogs, we had done doggie daycare, which was good but doesn't do a great job developing discipline, and leash walks, which are really not enough time outside for dogs that are home all day. Luna's confidence, independence, and social abilities improved dramatically during her time on pack walks with ZipDogs, and we haven't found anyone else since who comes close in terms of how much they genuinely care for the dogs (plus, for the amount of time they have your dog, it is a great value). We love ZipDogs so much that we have stayed in touch with Rachel so that Luna can periodically reunite with her and the crew. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Both Jax (2 year old Brittany) and I think Rachel is absolutely the best dog walker there is hands down. I've had two other walkers in SF, and she blows them out of the water as far as achieving the right balance of dependability and professionalism mixed with a genuine love for dogs. Not to mention the fact that she is significantly cheaper (read: $5 LESS per walk for full time than some other rip-offis in the city) than other walkers even though her daily walks are easily 2-3x as long and definitely seem more fun. Jax is a high energy boy would can run for miles (see the orange and white guy in the pictures). Rachel picks him up everyday sometime between 10:30 and 11:30, and drops him off between 2:30 and 5. I kid you not. They spend 1.5 - 3 hours having AMAZING walks/runs/jaunts/ball retrieving contests/swimming/etc, plus additional fun car ride time on their way to/from all sorts of Bay Area hideaways - Marin, San Bruno Mountain, Fort Funston, Wild Cat Canyon Park, etc - which means that Jax is gone most of the day which is great for people with the occasional long work days. During their walks, Rachel is always willing to work on whatever skills I've requested (no barking for the ball, on-leash manners, recall, etc), which is VERY important to maintaining good dog behavior if your dog is going to be out with someone else all day. She even took Jax for a week with his cone hat on post-stitches and used the time to work on his leash skills and good behavior in a very exciting/fun environment. So thankful for that. When Jax comes home, Rachel also takes time to clean up and look over Jax every time she drops him off - great for avoiding a huge mess, a mass of ticks in the summertime, or burrs in the fur. As if that wasn't enough, she also takes the time every day to write a detailed log of the day's activities, what time Jax got picked up/dropped off, and any notes on his behavior I should be aware of. THEN she attaches a bunch of fun pictures of the day! For some of my other walkers I doubted they even came by that day! Definitely worth it. An added Rachel bonus is her boarding and weekend/holiday walking, also at great rates. She's always accommodating, even at the last minute, and Jax always comes home a happy (tired!) boy. So fantastic. read more

I have been using Rachel for a long time now. She has not only given them great exercise but has provided training as well. They go to great places around the bay area and get great stimulation to tire them out. I would not trust them with anyone else. Every time they come home they seem to be happier. They get lots of new friends to play with and get their pictures taken of the places they've been. And she is always searching for new and exciting places to take them. She is very inexpensive considering I have two dogs. She's the best! read more

Rachel is the best! We have two Westies that absolutely adore Rachel. After an adventure with Rachel, our dogs come home totally wiped out with dirty coats to prove how much fun they had. She sends detailed reports and pictures of the dogs after the adventures. She has also helped us work on some minor behavior issues. She is simply fabulous and I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Rachel, Beatrix and Jenna at Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dog Adventures are amazing! My 2 dogs have been with them for about 2 years now and I hope to have them for many more years! When my dogs go out with any of the 3 walkers I know that they are well cared for. If there are ever any issue or concerns they let me know right away. I always get a text at the end of the day with pictures of my fur babies and a short blip about what they did. I actually get jealous of their day because while I'm at work they are having a fantastic time at Fort Funston with their friends. They are still tired from their fun when I get home. Rachel, Beatrix and Jenna make my life so much easier because I have a strange work schedule so the days my dogs go aren't the same each week and they do their best to accommodate it. In the past I have moved around quite a bit and have used several off leash dog walkers and none have ever been this amazing!!! That's why I keep recommending them to any friends that have dogs. read more

My shy dog, Ginny, has really blossomed under Rachel's attention. She has learned the meaning of play (she was a rescue dog), and Rachel works with me and Ginny to reinforce Ginny's obedience skills. For months Ginny went on twice a week half day runs, and came home happy and worn out. Since Ginny had knee surgery in December, Rachel has been kind enough to stop by a couple of days a week just to sit with her for a little while, and now to take her on really short walks as she continues to heal. If I could afford it, I'd have Rachel take Ginny every day. And the photos are great! read more

To call Rachel "The Best Dog Walker Ever" would be an understatement. She clearly treats each and every dog in her pack as if they were her own. We recently rescued our dog, and, knowing that we were concerned about his excitability in the presence of other dogs, Rachel has made every effort to update us on his socialization with the other dogs in her pack. We receive a "Dog Adventure Log" after every adventure, packed with stories about him and photos of him loving his life on the beach or hiking in the mountains. She allows us maximum flexibility with our dog walking schedule, and is happy to pick up our dog whenever we ask her to (even if it's last minute). She is awesome! read more

Rachel and Lupe are the best!!!! Kind, lovely, flexible, run the my little lemon tired AND leave her clean upon return :) We get pictures, daily logs, and they welcome a call or text when ever we want! I would HIGHLY recommend Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dog Adventure to all who love their furry little doggie friends........Best! read more
