I had a unique situation in finding a dogwalking service because the dog walker I had walked my dog for 2 years consistently the same person. Her company moved her to another state so I needed to find a fulltime dogwalking service. It has been a tolerance curve to getting my dog use to multiple walkers coming 3 times per day. I only set-up 15 min walks 3 times a day. My dog does not want to walk very far so there has had to be a lot of coercion just to even get in 15 min walks . I have teats ready and available and talked with each walker that they will need to be the boss and let my dog know she needs to stop sitting down. We are starting our 4th week of YBFF service. Hopefully, by my communicating with each walker the walks will go more smoothly.

Thank you for your honest review, Terry! We have loved getting to know you and Mei Li, and she has come a long way already, getting comfortable with having more than one Walker. We truly appreciate you and will continue to work with Mei Li, as well as assign consistent Walkers for her.

Absolutely Exceptional Pet Care!I cant recommend YBFF highly enough! I had a last-minute situation where my dog Leo needed immediate care, and I was incredibly lucky that they were available. Leo wasnt feeling well and had some messy accidents, but Becki handled everything with such grace, compassion, and professionalismit truly blew me away.Not only did she take excellent care of Leo on such short notice, but she also went above and beyond by cleaning up after him, even starting a load of laundry with the soiled towels before she left. That level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail is so rare.Its clear Becki truly cares about the pets she looks after, and it gave me such peace of mind to know Leo was in such capable hands. I will 100% be using YBFF againand often! If you're looking for someone who treats your pets like their own, look no further.

Great experience. Went beyond to look for my scaredy cat. Even took a photo to show food and treats and made a trip back to drop off my key. Would definitely recommend!

I have two special needs puppies! They have done an excellent job on taking care of my fur babies. As well as communicating clearly on how things have been going. Which has allowed me to get little piece of heart while I am at work! I will be referring this company to everybody I know. Thank you so much for what you do😊
