How can I add a 6th star to my review? At the risk of being hyperbolic, I wish that every business I interacted with were run with as much heart and commitment as David has as he runs Citizen Hound dog walking! The team he has assembled - to include Kalyn, Erik, Synthia - are simply top notch. We can confidently say that being part of the Citizen Hound pack was a quick and effective path to socialization for our pup.

TESTIMONIAS

David is the bee's knees of dog walkers! He is caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful beyond reason. We all know how important our pets are, and there is nothing more comforting than to go to work and know your dog is in the best hands. I routinely come home to a wiped out, happy, healthy doggy. Thank you David and the whole team for all that you do! I give you my highest recommendation!

-Mary S. & Bennett

The outings they do with the pack, the walking team, the extracurricular gatherings; our little bundle of energy LOVED her days out with the CH team and misses them now that we don't live in SF. David is doing an amazing job with this business, communication is stellar, and the reward is a happy, tired dog.

WHY US

ABOUT US

WHAT YOU GET

You’re in SF because you want the best. The best jobs, the best restaurants, views, activities - all of it. But the city life that affords you those things can come at a cost; namely, your time, and while this city life works you to the bone you’ll need help throwing your dog one.

We’re in the business of helping you with your busyness.

We’ve made our name alleviating any burden of guilt for over 850 of your neighbors over the years, helping to raise happy, well-balanced, socialized dogs who’ve got their own community, and who are well-versed in adventure. Make a relationship with a team of professionals trained to help you love your dog.

While most professional dog walkers are likely great with dogs many are not good with people, which may be just the reason they've decided to work with dogs in the first place. Every member of CH is an amiable, capable, and enthusiastic customer service pro, like dogs ourselves! With a team of people we're able to provide benefits smaller ops can't, including very consistent timing, tailored pack placements, lower prices, greater availability, reliability, flexibility, responsiveness, and additional, often last minute services like outside hours walks or dog sitting. This is why we've won so many awards, reviews and accolades over the years. Clients can count on us.

Every year of business over the last decade, the level of professionalism, abilities, and quality of the CH team has continued to rise. Having earned the certification CPDT-KA, I am 1 of only roughly 4,500 in the world to hold the title, and I constantly pass my knowledge to staff and clients. Every teammate that's carefully selected for positivity, passion and grit gets thorough, long term, hands on training in dogs and customer service, and every client gets free access to my dog training knowledge by phone with a dog walking plan. You can learn more about individuals that work here on our Team page.

In the end what you get is more time, more care, less guilt, and the type of dog that people will compliment, who's so well socialized they're ready for any of your adventures too.
