Kitty Kanine Pet Care

I cannot recommend Kitty Kanine Pet Services more! I owned a beautiful greyhound, who was a rescue. The previous dog walkers had injured him, and one even poisoned him! I was nervous with getting a new dog walker, but with my work hours and him also being a service dog for my elderly mother, he needed a mid-​day walk.
I could not have been more pleased with this service. They took such good care of my sweet boy, and treated him with the caring that was beyond compare. When my mom passed, they made sure they gave him extra time since he was missing her. However, a month after my mother passed, my dog was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. To try to save him, I had to amputate a leg. Even with 3 legs, and after he was medically cleared, they came and gave my boy a good modified walk everyday. They also provided him the care he needed to feel like he was still «normal». The hospital could not believe I had a dog walker for him, since most companies will not work with a «tripod». The hospital and oncologist took their contact number, since so many patients need a dog walker, and none will work with special needs dogs.
My boy passed, but if I ever get another dog again, these are the only people I will hire to help me take care of his/​her.
If you are looking for a dog walking service, who will go the «extra mile», then this is the company for you!

Marcie — My family has a tradition of rescuing dogs who need a home. These dogs are often not as «easy,» both because of the trauma they’ve experienced prior to being adoption and because they aren’t necessarily bred for the convenience of their owners. When we adopted our dog as an older puppy, she was extremely anxious from the experience of being transported up from West Virginia, where she would have euthanized, in the back of a truck in a crate with her 4 brothers who were all much larger than her and who she was clearly afraid of. We picked her at the shelter because she was tiny and shaking in the corner of that crate, and needed a safe home right away. When we first took her home I couldn’t even get her to walk outside, it took weeks to get her around the block. Despite this trauma, she loves everyone and everything, doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body, and has never come close to harming a hair on the hundreds of adults, children, babies, dogs, cats, squirrels, and insects we’ve introduced her to.
I have worked so hard to train and calm this sweet girl, I read several of the top training books and consulted people with many years of experience with dogs. Considering where she started, I think I’ve done an amazing job, and at 3 years old (which is still dog adolescence), she’s still getting better every day.
Your mother was not the right walker for us, which was fine, but when I politely let her know I had found a new walker she sent me multiple extremely long texts suggesting that I was a bad dog owner. At one point she put my dog’s name in quotation marks, as if to say «if that is even her real name.» Of course I was personally offended by this, but that’s not why I took the time to write a negative review (which I never do). As a true dog lover, I am so offended by someone who claims to love dogs and actually only loves the «easy» ones, and by a walker who can only handle dogs that are naturally subdued because they come from a puppy mill or «perfect» because their disposition was manufactured by an expensive breeder, and who have been at some pampered «puppy kindergarten» every day since they were 6 weeks old. I don’t expect you to be trainers, but I expect you to be able to walk normal, imperfect dogs.
All loving dogs deserve our love. And even hyper anxious dogs who pull and bark when not well controlled deserve a nice walk around the block when their owners are at work.

Kitty Kanine has been wonderful to our little pup! They have been with him since day one, and he loves his afternoon strolls.
I recommend anyone use Kitty Kanine Pet Care for their dog walking/​cat sitting needs!
