K9 Second Line

Their communication with the customer sets them apart. The owner of the company interviews the dogs (and humans) before setting up the schedule. Once they’re on the clock, an automated e-​mail arrives as soon as they come over to take the dogs out, and then an individualized brief report follows at the end of the visit — often with photos! Very reassuring when we were out of town and the dogs were Home Alone.

We saw Brendan and the k9 second line team at Barkus this year. Our vizsla puppy is very active and is so much happier now that the she walks weekly with the k9 second line!!! All walkers have been caring, flexible, and attentive to the needs of our little one!!! Thank you for giving her the extra attention and exercise she needs each week! She needs lots of exercise and in addition to what she gets from us, her trust-​worthy friends from K9 Second Line add to her happiness!

Brendan and his staff members at K9 Second Line are such a great team and are incredibly flexible for me, as well as kind and caring with my dog. I’m so thankful to be able to rely on them when I need an extra hand with the pooch, particularly because I can count on them to administer medications and handle other important things while I’m away.

K9 Second Line has a great team, flexible service menu, and terrific service. I appreciate the little notes they leave to let us know how their visit went, and I never worry about our 2 dogs and cat when they are in K9 Second Line’s care.
Brendan and this team are very accommodating about various critters’ special needs, including meds, behavior issues, or crating.
Whether it’s a long work day that prevents us from getting back to take care of the dogs, or a trip out of town, I never hesitate to call these guys, and they are always speedy about getting us on their schedule.

Despite working from home, some days are so busy that I don’t have the time to walk our standard poodle… he needs lots of exercise :) With that said, K9 Second Line has been able to lend a critical hand and come though for me when my schedule is packed!
While traveling, we wish we could always take our dog with us. However, when we are away we have the assurance that our poodle is in the best hands possible! The good people at K9 Second Line are caring, prompt and attentive to our pet’s needs.
I have been fortunate to have shared some good conversations with some of the staff members, and feel I know them well. K9 Second Line has my complete confidence in caring for my dog, and more importantly has earned my trust!

Great service! Friendly to work with and dependable. Great with my german shepherd dog, and even send you pictures of your pup!

Brendan and his team are excellent! We went on vacation last week and had to leave our pitbull at home. Our dog does not board well — she gets too anxious and does not sleep or eat. K9SL fed, walked and played with our dog every morning and night, and the team confirmed every visit with an email and comments about how our dog was doing. Thanks to K9, we can rest easy when our dog cannot travel with us.

My wife and I have been using K9 Second Line for over a year now. We have both a dog and a cat. We have a weekly scheduled walk time and have had K9 Second Line pet sit for both our cat and dog. ALL of our experiences have been great!
K9 Second Line does an excellent job of taking care of our pets, and they are amazing at customer service. When we decided we wanted a dog walker, Brendan sat down with me and got to know our pets. From there, we have received Bio’s about out pet walkers. Our walkers leave personalized notes and now they have an online system that lets me see when our walkers arrived including where they walked. I can’t say enough about how much I love this company!

Brendan and his staff put my wife and I at ease. K9 cares about your dog, they love making sure our furry friends receive the love and attention they need .The Updates with pictures and notes were hilarious but seriously relieved our anxiety about how our sweet girls were doing. No need to Board and take your dog out of their environment, Brendan and the gang come to your house to hang out, feed, walk, play with the pack. Added bonus they clean up if any accidents and the wife was happy they watered the plants .I recommend K9 second line if you are serious about taking no chances with your dogs care
Thanks Brendan for taking care of our extended family

I’ve used K9 Second Line regularly for some time know, and several aspects of their service have impressed me: (1) they are easy to get a hold of on the phone, and friendly; (2) I receive photos of my dogs after their daily walk (s), along with an update of how they are doing (classy touch); (3) the dogs always seem happy when I get home from out of town, and I feel good know that they weren’t locked up in a kennel. Highly recommended.

I’ve been using K9 Second Line for about two years now. They’ve been a wonderful service that gives rare customer service, like sending me pictures of my pets and updates on everything to make my wife and I feel at ease when we are on vacation. Before K9 I used to board my pets, but one time they got so sick from being confined with a bunch of other animals that I ended up having to pay an outrageous vet bill. We decided never to board our animals again. K9 not only does a wonderful job in caring for my animals when I’m away, but has probably saved me a ton of money in past and future vet bills as well. Can’t recommend highly enough.

We just moved to New Orleans with my wife less than a month ago. We have never used a service like this. She had to go out of town and I was scheduled to work all weekend. We looked into different option but based on the reviews we decided to get in touch with K9. What a great call! Brendan came over to the house to get to know our dogs before anything. Great guy running a serious caring business. You get to know and see a profile of the «walkers» and if you would like you can meet them as well before anything. No need for us as we felt comfortable after meeting Brendan.
Both my pug and shih tzu were walked throughout the weekend, and I got to get home to find a note every day saying what time they went out, if they ate and how they behaved.
I strongly recommend this company and we will be using their services every time we go out of town. Outstanding!

Brendan and his team did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog, Krewe, while I was out of town over Christmas. They were thoughtful enough to send me pictures and videos everyday along with updates on how she was doing. When I came back home they even left Christmas cookies for both me and Krewe. Phenomenal service that I plan to use again and recommend to others.

My friend was a client of K9 Second line first… King Louie began getting walks with Elizabeth and when my dog Jango started coming over during the work week he too joined in. I met Elizabeth one day at the house… I could see how much the boys loved her you can see it on their faces even in photos. It put my friends and my mind at ease knowing that they are enjoying their play time and walks while we are at work.
K9 Second line is professional, kind and caring… I just met the owner Brendan today.
I was in a last minute bind with Holiday plans that had changed and K9 Second line came to our rescue.
I have been telling everyone about how wonderful they are! I can’t say enough good things. Happy Holidays Everyone!

I could not have been more satisfied with my experience with this service.
I found them after having a terrible experience with another local dog walking service that ended with the dog walker insulting me and quitting with no notice whatsoever because she «couldn’t keep up with my constantly changing schedule». Even though when I hired her I warned her that my schedule would be constantly changing and flexibility is a MUST.
It was the best thing that could have happened though because I ended up hiring K9 second line. They were always professional. Always happy to do their best to accommodate my crazy schedule.
More reasons for them being a fantastic service:
–Every day I would come home to a note about how the walk went.
–The owner of the service makes sure you are comfortable with the employee he has walking your dog. He will set up a meeting first if you wish. He sends you a little bio about them and you can tell that he really takes the time to «vet» his employees.
–You can get discounts by buying bulk walk packages which is also nice because you dont need to worry about making constant small payments or remember to leave checks. You buy 20 walks, get a discount, and they let you know when you’re running low. Perfect.
–They would even occasionally leave gifts for my pup.
–Last but definitely not least, there was one occasion where I was working and paid for a walk but ended up having to run home for something just as I saw the walker taking my puppy out. I was extremely happy to see that not only was my dog really happy with the walker but she was reinforcing training, and I saw her taking him all the way out of my cul-​de-​sac for what must have been a nice long walk because they weren’t even in eyeshot when I came back downstairs.
If K9 Second line is in your area, you should go out of your way to hire them.
Thanks for everything!!!

Recently worked with K9 second line while we were away for a week on our honeymoon. Brendan was great from our initial meeting. He is well read on many subjects/​topics concerning dogs and cats and he is extremely up front about his company’s policies and procedures. We asked K9 SL to walk our dog in the afternoon and clean two litter boxes 3x during the week. Our house was clean, our dog was happy, and everything was exactly where we had left it when we left town.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy company to take care of your pets at your home while you can’t, then K9 Second Line is more than worth your time and money!

I really can’t agree with zaelyna’s review more. I have been around dogs my entire life and every day I learn something new being an employee at K9 Second Line. Every walk is a unique learning experience and I couldn’t ask for a better teacher than the ones I find in Brendan and his clients (furry and non-​furry alike). If you’re looking for a new friend for your pup, look no further. I love meeting new dogs and making new bonds. It’s such a rewarding place to work. I tried many different things before settling on this career path and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of the K9 Second Line team.

If you’re looking for an independent kind of job with a flexible schedule and love working with animals, you’ll be hard-​pressed to find a better business than K9 Second Line. Brendan has a clear set of goals for the future of his business and works hard to reach each step along the way.
A truly rewarding company to work for – Brendan is not your average, every day kind of manager, either. He brought me on knowing well that my ultimate goal was to earn an income between studying for and pursuing a career in filmmaking. As such, he was always more than considerate toward working around my gigs as they came up.
Better yet, the job itself is one of the most unique, pleasant experiences imaginable. You can’t find a more stress-​free job than that of walking dogs and playing with animals. All of the clients have such diverse and laugh-​inspiring personalities, and the people they live with are cool to boot. ^.^
Brendan will never assign you to a client he doesn’t feel you can’t handle. He also embraces the evolution of technology, integrating it into how he runs the business. His use of texting and a personal business app allows clients’ owners the speediest updates on their furry companions’ well being so they may continue about their days without worry.

They have been great with our Siberian husky. We have used them for their walking services a few times and their pet setting services with the longest stretch being 10 days. Our dog was happy and comfortable at home and their prices are reasonable. I also really like that they leave notes when they come by and when we were gone for longer time frames they email us updates and pictures. It keeps our minds at ease. :)

I have recommended K9 Second Line to my neighbors and even had my sister use their services when she came to visit so she could have some guilt-​free time away from her two dogs. They have a great staff that is very proffessional, loves dogs, and goes that extra mile for your pet. A real dog-​lovers dog-​walker.

K9 truly is as good as it gets! The very best attributes about this business are their consistency & reliability. I am notorious for last minute planning and I find myself texting /​emailing K9 to walk my two dogs just before leaving town. I can always count on them to be there when needed and complete the job at their very best. We, too, are updated with text messages and photos of our dogs during the time away. My dogs always look as though they haven’t missed a beat. Most importantly, K9 is trustworthy and really really reliable.
