Every time I need a last minute walk scheduled or if something has held up one of the walkers the boss man will jump in and save the day. That's good busineess

I had an absolutely horrible time with their office, and was treated in a shockingly bad manner by Rick. I would email the office to schedule dog walks, which they told me was the best way to do so. More often than not I would have to call to follow up because days would go by without hearing back and without the walks being scheduled. Today I called, because once again, I tried to order walks by email and heard nothing in response. I asked to speak with an owner or manager and the person who answered the phone, Rick, immedi... read more

He was cussing at me, called me a B***h and a C**t, going on and on making no sense at all, barely able to get most of what he said, all while my baby slept inside. I was terrified and didn't know what he was going to do. I tossed... read more

I had been a long time customer with this company. I don't know what happened recently but we have had multiple negative experiences that has caused us to seek other options. 1. We went away for a week and scheduled the pet sitter. We did the appropriate paperwork and left notes at the house that we had 3 cats. When we arrived home, we were greeted at the door by only 2 cats. We searched the house and found the third cat locked in a bedroom. He had been trapped in there the entire week and the sitter never noticed that they ... read more
