I appreciate Joans availabilty on short notice. It helps out a lot with older dogs. I am grateful she is so prompt and treats my dogs like little princes. She is a welcome addition to our pack.

Joan and her husband came over to our home at no extra charge in order to meet me and my dogs, get to know the neighborhood layout for walking, and orient me to her business. She is very flexible and will accept jobs or cancellations at short notice.

Joan has been wonderful to deal with and takes great care of my two dogs! She is very accommodating with scheduling, i.e. you can text her in the morning if you determine that you do not need a walk for the day. She also leaves detailed notes after their daily walks so I know when they had gone out and what they had done. It is so nice to know that my dogs are taken care of by someone who really cares for them ...the dogs look forward to their daily walks with Joan! If you work with Joan and the Reckless Adventures team you will be happy you did :)

We were thrilled with our experience with Reckless Adventures. Joan is very dependable, thorough and most of all - a dog lover. I was able to relax on my vacation because I trusted that she was dependable. When we got back our dog was very happy (and tired from lots of walking!) Highly recommend.

We're new customers of Reckless Adventures and have been very happy so far with their service. I've had a couple of last minute cancellations which they've accommodated with flexibility. They have been very punctual and thoughtful with our dogs daily diary. It's been fun reading their summary upon coming home.
