Roaming Hound

I’ve had Pamela walking my dog Benny for the last 6 months and she has been great! I come back to Benny tired out and calm, which makes my evenings much more pleasant!

Pamela is an amazing woman and is excellent with dogs. Our dog Kylie –the pretty brindle mix in her first photo– not to brag ;-) –absolutely adores her and is so incredibly happy after their walks. Roaming Hound helped to socialize Kylie around other dogs, and her walks always help to curb her non-​stop energy. The pack she has is great, it’s a mix of small and big dogs, all of which are friendly and non-​aggressive. Pamela has very reasonable prices and is flexible on scheduling when we need it. Kylie gets a great work out and is out of the house for plenty of time to get worn out. When she comes home, she is totally spent for the rest of the day. Pamela has also watched Kylie on a few overnight vacations, and even for a dog who has never been boarded or left overnight, every time our dog has a blast and doesn’t want to leave. Pamela kept us updated through outthe trips and is flexible on helping us with pickup/​drop off. You really couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!

Pamela has been walking our Boston Terrier — Beagle mix, Noelle, for over a year now, and we have ZERO complaints. She has been great! Noelle loves her and the rest of the «pack,» and we’ve been impressed by Pamela’s communication skills and flexibility when we occasionally have scheduling changes. Most importantly, we know that our dog is safe and getting the exercise and stimulation she needs.
We interviewed other dog walkers and immediately felt most comfortable with Pamela because she was the right combination of professional, knowledgeable, and down-​to-​earth. My husband and I especially like that Pamela does all walks herself, rather than hiring out a bunch of less experienced walkers (this was a huge misgiving we had with other «walkers» we interviewed who were actually just entrepreneurs trying to «uberize» dog walking!).

Pamela is simply GREAT with dogs, knowledgable, reasonably priced, and she really bailed us out a number of times around our erratic work schedules. She accommodated our two very different dogs expertly, and always effectively reinforced our behavior training with our younger dog. We really can’t recommend her highly enough. Having moved to Oakland, Roaming Hound is one of the things we miss most back in San Francisco.

I’ve been using Pam for about a year now and Levi (my dog) and I couldn’t be any happier! Levi is always so excited to walk with her and she even let’s him sit up front sometimes! Pam is wonderful, reliable and reasonably priced. You won’t be sorry!!!

Pamela has been walking our little rescue dog for almost a year now. I concur with the other reviewers in that she has been extremely dedicated and professional! She took extra care to make sure that Clyde felt comfortable with her and with the rest of the pack. You also can’t beat her prices for a walker with her credentials. Thanks, Pamela!

Given that I have one of the most difficult breeds in the dog kingdom, the notorious Shiba Inu, I have been really impressed with Pamela’s ability to handle my little Niko with a certain even-​temperedness and with a sense of humor that is befitting to the mischievous Shiba.
Very professional, Pamela arrived for our initial interview and walk with documents in hand, asking about Niko’s history and his special needs. This was very comforting, considering that Shibas are known «flight-​risks», and Pamela took this information very seriously.
I have been using Pamela’s Roaming Hound Dog Walking services for just about 2 years now, and I highly recommend her services!
AND, Niko loves her too! He comes home exhausted from play with a smile on his face… that speaks volumes.

Got a new job and needed a dog walker for the first time, we interviewed a few dog walkers and were concerned about getting what we were paying for and having our little girl in someone elses care. Pamela has been amazing, we come home to notes about the days activities and how they are doing in getting to know one another. My girl is so tired when I get home that I know she is out having a great day. Pamela was also the most proffesional person that we met with. She treats this as a career and comes over with all her documentation and asks that you fill out a history of your dog and any needs they might have. If you need someone to take care of your pouch I highly recommend K-​9 walking tours.

My dog loooooves going on walks with Pamela! He comes home with a big olé’ doggie grin and takes a nap; which for a Vizsla with overflowing energy is a very good thing.
