Dog Gone Walking loves our dog so much and they take such good care of him. I am always confident that reliable, kind, caring and responsible, dog loving people are able to help me take the best care of my dog. They also offer a playgroup option that my dog LOVES. After each encounter, the walker posts a note and pictures in their private portal to keep us connected and informed. Dog Gone Walking is a true gift to our family.

We’ve worked with Ilene and her wonderful team for over a decade. The walks and playgroups keep our dogs active and socially engaged during the work week. They are our first choice for dog sitting services whenever we need one, and we can rest assured that our dogs and cat (and our home!) are happy, safe, and in good hands. They are family!
