Kelly has been great as our new dog walker! She comes three days a week. At 9:30am she arrives, and my dog jumps in her wagon with the rest of his pals. They go to Fort Funston dog beach and frolic around in the sand and water for a while. Around 2:30pm, she drops him off back at home and he's a pooped little pooch. She's been sending pictures and videos that I can see while I'm stuck in my office and it's clear everyone is having a great time. When I get home from work, my dog is tired and best of all happy. Thanks Kelly! More...

Kelly is amazing with her dogs. We feel absolutely & completely comfortable when Abby is with the group and we love every minute of the YouTube videos Kelly uploads from the beach. I regularly share the videos of the dog walks, and everyone responds the same way: those are some lucky dogs! Â The dogs in Kelly's pack are well taken care of, loved, fully exercised, and generally having the time of their lives. Any dog in need of exercise or playtime who likes the beach would be lucky to be in Kelly's pack! More...

Kelly is probably the best dog walker in San Francisco. I haven't used every single one, but after using her I feel pretty confident making that statement after having her as our dog walker over the past couple years. She's incredibly professional and really cares about her charges. From the moment she started walking my dog, I felt confident my pup was in good hands. Kelly puts an extra tag on their collar that has "Kelly is my dog walker" and her information on it. As someone who has had TWO separate dog walkers lose my dog, this went a long way to make me feel comfortable. For the record, Kelly never once lost track of my dog, despite countless and lengthy off-leash play dates. My dog was always worn out after a walk with Kelly. She takes them on really long adventures to the beach or Buena Vista Park where her pack plays and runs for hours. If you want to see what they're up to she posts videos to Youtube, so you can keep up with your dog's activities. I think the socialization and tightness of her pack is invaluable. My dog tends to be on the shy side and refuses to play with other dogs at the park. However, any time I walked around the neighborhood with my dog and ran into another one of the dogs from Kelly's pack my dog would instantly get excited and try to play with them. That's a sure sign of comfort and enjoyment when my dog wants to play with those dogs and only those dogs.In addition to the actual exercise, socialization, caretaking and love given to my dog, Kelly is incredibly easy to work with. She's extremely communicative and always reachable by phone, text, or email. She never missed a walk and gave lots of notice if she was going on vacation or leaving town (months worth of notice) and always helped to arrange alternate care if anyone needed it. Unfortunately, we had to move out of the neighborhood and leave the pack. Of all the stressful things about moving, this was the hardest. My dog really loved her walks with Kelly. We already miss Kelly and the next dog who gets to join the pack will be a lucky dog, indeed. More...

Kelly is the best dog walker/lover in the world. Kelly will go above and beyond what is expected every single time, she treats my Seamus just like her own dog. Kelly is much more than a dog walker, she bonds with her pack and they can't wait to get in that phat car of hers. The major bonus is her walk locations, they get to hit Fort Funston, Ocean Beach and Buena Vista parks. They get to run their little legs off and come back tired and happy. Then of course she provides constant pictures and uploaded videos of their days adventures. If you ever get the chance to use Kelly then grab that opportunity; there is nobody better. More...

This is long overdue.... Kelly is the BEST! I can not speak highly enough about her. I am so grateful to have met Kelly and I'm sure my 15 month Rhodesian Ridgeback would agree:) She goes above and beyond daily with extra long walks to Buena Vista Park and Ocean Beach, which sometimes last up to 3-4hours. She also sends frequent text message updates, cute pics and uploads daily youtube videos: thesfnative to show how much fun the dogs are having. Marlo(my dog) is in love with Kelly! He gets so excited whenever he sees her and always glances up at her house when we walk past. I have left him in Kelly's care over the holidays and everything went smoothly. She sent frequent text message updates and pics of him. Its a tremendous comfort for me knowing that he will be in good hands when we are out of town. Kelly's pack, is mostly made up of medium and large dogs (golden retriever, pitbull, pitbull/border collie, english bulldog, grey hound, new foundland, and a sheba inu). The dogs all are high energy and play really well together! Her fee is $20/walk, but it is well-worth it. More...

I could write forever about why Kelly is an excellent dogwalker. Instead, I'll just say, you may find a dogwalker as good as her but you will never find one better!!!

Kelly is the best! Â I was lucky enough to meet her while walking my dog at Buena Vista Park, my little girl immediately fell in love with her and we waited patiently for a spot to open with her walking group. My girl has been on three walks now, I know she is having a great time. Â Kelly sends links to video's of the dogs playing and emails on how she did. Â I couldn't be happier or feel better about my dogs time spent with Kelly - my dog absolutely adores her and the other dogs in the group. Â Thank you Kelly! More...

It's been 4 months already, since my dog joined Kelly's pack, and we are all so happy with her! I meant to write this review way earlier. She was so great from day 1. I came across Kelly's web site when I was searching for "Fort Funston Dog Walker". I had several interview sessions with other dog walkers. Even though she doesn't go to Fort Funston any more, I still thought she was the one for us, because I was so impressed by her professionalism. Not only was she punctual, she made sure it was ok to park in front of our garage. She came with references and in business attire, provided dog tags with her phone number on it. My dog fell in love with her the moment he saw her, which is unusual because he usually doesn't like blond ladies! Her love toward dogs is so genuine and he could smell that. He probably smelled her yummy homemade treat too.After the walk, she tells me where they went and how good my boy was. They often go to beaches, but I can only tell it by the sand in his eyes, because he comes home even cleaner, even though he had a blast in the sand. She wipes off the paws really well. The pictures she took during the walks are so cute. It's great to know my doggy gets along with other puppies. Â His separation anxiety got much better and he is more social and mingles with other dogs too. Originally, I had another dog walker who goes to Fort Funston in parallel, but after a couple of walks, I canceled the other one and became loyal to Kelly. Â Her pack is small and he gets more attention. Happy dog makes everybody in the house happier too! Thanks Kelly. More...

It is only our dog's second day with Kelly and we already love Kelly and her group walks! Kelly was very sweet and eager to learn more about our life's with our English Bulldog, Vida, during our interview at our home. At the end of the interview we knew Vida would be well taken care of and we trusted Kelly with our baby. On the first group walk day Kelly picked up Vida and took her along with a few other dogs (there are never more than 5 in a group) to Golden Gate Park to play outdoors. Vida was exhausted when she got home and took a big nap. She has a lot of energy for a bulldog so we were so happy she was able to have some fun while my husband and I were at work. There are huge advantages to going with Kelly over taking your dog to a daycare: Â your dog gets to poop and pee outdoors as they have been trained to do, they are not running on concrete, and they get to be in the fresh outdoors. Kelly is great and we look forward to continuing on with Vida's weekday group walks to all sorts of fun SF outdoor spots. Oh, and Kelly sends the cutest text messages, pictures of your dog via text while she is watching him/her, and leaves a sweet note in a notebook at your house when she drops off your dog. More...

Kelly is a total pro and a complete lifesaver, great with both the pets AND their owners (me), which is a stark difference from previous walkers i've used in the past. Â She walked / watched my puppies and cats on a regular basis for nearly a year and, while one of my little dogs is a total handful, the only issue i ever had was the fact that she does such a great job that it reminded me of how much better a pet parent i can be... Â (trips to the beach, regular training, loads of patience and love, etc) More...

After the dog sitter that had been watching my dogs for the last 3 years was caring for a new litter and couldn't watch my boys anymore, I was in a bit of a panic. Â My boyfriend and I divided and conquered reaching out to a variety of resources, and we were incredibly fortunate to find Kelly. Â She was extremely comforting and professional right off the bat, meeting us and the dogs with a checklist of questions and listened to me talk about the details of both dogs personalities (2 year old and 5 year old mixes). Â She explained her background and experience and offered references (which was very comforting) and scheduled a time to take the dogs for a walk before we left town to make sure she didn't have any additional questions and they were okay with her. Â Kelly has a very friendly demeanor and her love for dogs was apparent, so I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my "furry children" were in good hands.While I was was away, Kelly was on the ball with pictures and email updates of their adventures. Â The dogs didn't just walk the block around my home, but spent hours at the beach and went for walks through the park. Â The dogs were even equipped with tags with her name on them to add to their collar as an added touch to show how on top of things she is. Â She watched them in my home and was very respectful, even leaving a little note when she left. Â I came home to very tired, happy boys which lessens the guilt of being away for nearly a week!We have already booked Kelly for another week in January and she is a great addition to the lives of our dogs... and we are very grateful!

My boyfriend and I were headed out of town for Christmas when at the last minute, our kennel called to say they couldn't take our two dogs (Brutus, a 6yr old Boston, and Anthony, an 8 month old shepard mix). We were ready to cancel our trip home when I found Kelly. She was thorough on the phone, asking important initial questions about our pups, and agreed to come to our place to meet us that same night! She was extremely comfortable with our boys right off the bat, and seemed like a perfect fit for us. She asked a bunch of questions that we wouldn't have even thought of, and asked what other help around the house she could do as well (checking mail, watering plants). When we left the next day, we were both anxious about leaving them still- we shouldn't have worried at all! Kelly started updating us right away, with emails, texts, and best of all, pictures! She let us know what was going on each day. Between trips to different beaches and long walks, they were exhausted, happy, and in good hands. Kelly took the time to improve Anthonys' training on recalls, walking on a leash, and eating habits. When we got home after 9 days, the pups didn't want her to leave at all. We are sooo happy we found her and are looking forward to having her around next time we're out of town. More...

We first met Kelly after she answered our Craigslist post when we were looking for a pet sitter to watch our two dogs over the holidays. Kelly really does go the extra mile! She met with us numerous times at the park so our dogs could get to know her better before we left. She sent us daily reports and pictures of the dogs through text message to let us know how they were doing throughout the week - we loved this! Each day she would take them to play at different parks and beaches around our neighborhood (Dolores Park, Douglas Park, Crissy Beach, etc). She would also leave music on for our dogs whenever they would be alone in between her visits. Kelly treated our pups as if they were her own and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We highly recommend Kelly to anyone in the San Francisco area that is looking for a loyal and trustworthy pet sitter! More...
