Why people — and their dogs — love dogwalks


Dogwalks has excellent rates, much more reasonable than many other dog walking services I looked into. And best of all, my dog Lucca loves going to see Julia. When he realizes where we are going, he goes crazy in the car. Once I was in a major pinch and she came through for me at the last minute, taking care of Lucca for four nights. She miraculously taught Lucca how to "lay down" — I had been working on that for weeks. Her home is clean and doggie—proof with bowls of fresh water everywhere and she has a large, grassy, fenced yard. Also, Lucca has a special diet that is complex to prepare and Julia happily agrees to make it for Lucca. I trust Julia 200%!

My shih—tzu, Zoey, adores Julia and promptly falls on her back for a belly rub as soon as Julia comes to pick her up. Before starting with dogwalks, Zoey was with another walking service that turned her from a friendly, happy dog to a frightened and skittish one. However, after mere weeks with Julia, I could tell that Zoey regained her confidence. She became more willing to engage with other people and other dogs, and overall became a happier and healthier dog. I attribute this change in Zoey's behavior and attitude directly to the care and particularized attention that Julia and DogWalks lavishes on her. I couldn't be happier with dogwalks!

Julia and her fabulous team have been walking my dog Maximus every day for over two years. He sits at the top of the stairs and waits for his walker every day. He always comes home tired and happy from all the play and exercise. Also, having the ability for him to stay overnight or when I am on vacation is a lifesaver and Julia has often been able to accommodate these requests on very short notice. I could not live without them! In two years, I have never had one problem with Chris or Elizabeth. Even if they are sick or on vacation I know someone will take care of Max. Thank you!

Julia and her crew have been walking my two dogs since the birth of my son. It was impossible to have two active dogs underfoot and a little baby in the house all day. Our home is much more peaceful with the dogs well exercised and happy knowing that Jameson is coming for them every morning. Like the other members of our family, Polly and Sam like their schedule and I like knowing that, rain or shine, they get their morning walk. Not only are the dogs getting good exercise, but basic training is reinforced. As much as Sam loves to jump on people to show his love, Jameson has worked on this issue and Sam has definitely improved. We heartily recommend dogwalks.com

dogwalks has been caring for our dogs for over two years and I trust them implicitly. Our first dog was afraid to go out at first because of his previous dogwalker, but almost instantly he completely turned around and now squeals with delight when Jameson arrives. Jameson also helped us get our new dog, a rescue who liked to run away, acclimated to his new home and routine. Today, you'd never know he had a rough start to life and he doesn't stray far from us or Jameson. We love dogwalks so much that we often say we would give up many things before we'd think about giving up dogwalking. Our dogs couldn't be happier which makes us incredible happy.

I cannot recommend dogwalks enough. Julia and her team are devoted dog lovers who take the time to ensure that each dog is cared for, well exercised and happy. On the days I am not working and my dog, Potter, is picked up for his walk, he is usually gone for a good hour and a half to two hours, and he always comes back exhausted! And the team is always available to dog sit while I am on vacation. I continue to use Dogwalks because the dogwalkers are experienced, reliable, and caring. I have complete confidence that Potter is in good hands.
