I can't recommend Bonni and her team enough. It's so important to me that my giant pup Louie is treated with the utmost care and sweetness, and I've been so lucky to have Bonni take great care of him on his adventures. She's an incredible dog walker, but also a flawless communicator, and so responsive. I trust her 100% with my pup and he always comes back exhausted and happy after a great adventure with his pals.

Tara is amazing and my dog is in LOVE with her. If Tara and I take 5 minutes to chat before his walk, he groans with impatience to leave with his new best friend Tara. He loves his off leash walks with Tara and I love that he loves them and I love them too. I love that I get pictures of walks and daily updates when she pet sits, my boy always looks so happy. From off leash walking to pet sitting, you cannot find someone to trust more with your furry friend(s), I could not recommend someone more highly. You will not be disappointed.

I don’t think a review of a few sentences could ever do justice to how amazing Carlos had been with my girls. Both of my pups are former rescues and it’s really important to me to do everything I can to give them a happy and loving life. When Carlos comes by, the way their eyes light up is unbelievable. They have a special bond with him and even know his name specifically. They are over-the-moon excited when he comes to take them for their hike in the mornings. In addition to being warm and loving with them, Carlos is a born photographer and amazes me each and every time with his talent. Whether it’s an action shot or the candid, quiet moments, he captures the magic in these moments seamlessly. I have a whole album of awesome shots of the girls and others have thought these were planned photo shoots! He’s always communicative and respectful and I love that he brings so much joy to them. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend Carlos (15/10) and can’t thank him enough for all that he’s done. I hope he gets a chance to connect with your pups too so others can share in this joy!

I have known Bonni for over 2 years and have entrusted her to walk and hike with my adventurous and active doggie several days a week. BonnI is a caring, warm and highly responsible person and always maintains a high level of professionalism and integrity.She is consistently responsive whenever I reach out or have questions and takes her job very seriously.All the dogs love her and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!

Tara is everything you could ever want from your dog walker and more! Our pup loves Tara just as much as she loves us.(if not more ha!) It means so much to see how estastic our dog is every time Tara shows up. Outside of being wonderful with the dogs, Tara is consistently responsive, thoughtful, organized and timely. There are multiple times where our dog has done something outside of her control (ie. jump in a puddle or roll in something smelly) and she immediately shares with us what happened and recommendations for how to handle the situation. There is no one else I trust more with our dog than Tara. Knowing our pup is safe and happy with her means the world. On top of that, our pup comes home after some fantastic exercise completely tuckered out until the next time Tara is at the door to play. I would recommend Tara and the Good Dog Walker to anyone and everyone!

We’ve trusted Bonni to walk and house sit our three dogs for years: she is communicative and kind and learns each dog's personality—knowing what motivates them, as well as their individual quirks. Whenever she pulls into the driveway, they are at the door, ready to go without giving us a second look, and they always come back happy and worn out! She is also super proactive: if there is extreme weather, she comes early to insure the dogs aren’t out in the heat, or lets us know if she thinks one of them isn’t feeling well. It’s clear how much she loves each dog she takes care of and we feel so fortunate that we found her!
