Ruff N’ Tuff Dog Walking

We’ve been with Analisa for more than a year now and we are still so happy with her service. Arnie has learned and grown so much from his walks with Ana. He no longer barks at other dogs and can resist chasing a squirrel. He’s fit and happy.

Yo people. My dog Bodhi loves himself some Analisa Six at Ruff n Tuff Dogwalking!!! I trust her with my dog, who is my everything, 100%. She takes Bodhi out for a whole hour, documents their adventures with amazing photos and comments on how his walk went, along with GPS that tells you exactly how long their walk together was. I recommend Analisa hands down over any other dog walker in the bay area. That woman is super knowledgable about dogs, dog psychology and especially dogs like mine, with «issues.» Thanks Analisa! Rock on and I will continue to spread the word.

For work, I relocated to the Bay Area from LA for about a month and needed a dog walker for two weeks. Analisa SURPASSED all expectations and completely quelled any anxieties I had about trusting my dog Jinju (really, like my daughter) to another person.
Before she took us on as a client, she interviewed me to learn as much as possible about Jinju and even gave me a couple dog-​training pointers. (Tangentially, the pointers worked and Jinju has stopped barking inside the house for no reason!) For every walk, she sent a text letting me know she had arrived with a cute photo and a quick update about my dog’s mood (or, disappointingly, the trash can that she knocked over). At the end of each walk, Analisa sends a screenshot of the walking route she led Jinju on, another adorable photo, and a overview of their time spent together. Jinju was noticeably chill throughout the evening, which tells me she got great exercise and stimulation on her walks!
Another great thing about Analisa is that she is really consistent in her timing — I’ve worked with other dog walkers who give a 3 – 4 hour window and, while I understand it can be difficult to negotiate lots of people’s schedules, it was always good to know that Jinju was getting her walks and dinners at approximately the same time everyday.
Finally, and most importantly, Analisa’s love for and knowledge about dogs is really evident. She is really confident in her choices, which made me feel even more comfortable. For example, although I take Jinju into off-​leash dog parks myself, I appreciated that Analisa decided she wouldn’t do that because she could never predict the behavior of other dogs in the space. Her priority is always your dog’s safety and happiness, which is awesome.

Ruff n’ Tuff is the best. I am consistently amazed by Ana’s enthusiasm and care for my 6 month old puppy. She is extremely trustworthy and goes far and beyond to give my dog an amazing walk. She tracks her walks, and then sends me data regarding length, duration, and location. Her passion for dog walking and knowledge of french bulldogs makes her the perfect walker for my little guy. She started having him over to her house when he was a tiny puppy and helps me to keep him active, happy, and on track behaviorally. Ana also took care of my elderly Frenchie last year. My gratitude is beyond words for this service.
