Bob is a dream come true for us and our two dogs. Our dogs are NOT easy, good boys! ... They require that extra something which Bob delivers, hands down, every time he cares for them. We have two Catahoula Leopard Dogs (a tough breed, to say the least), one of which is a very young, very insecure rescue = a tricky guy. Bob and his staff at Portsmouth Dog Walks were sensitive to his issues and followed our instructions to the word when they first met him, which allowed him to gain trust in them and allow them to visit him regularly, whereas he is normally hesitant to allow ANYONE else into his space except me and my husband. He loves their visits now and plays like a happy, normal boy when they take him out while we are at work. Thank goodness for Bob! Our older dog, a 14 year old senior, has special needs like meds, incontinence, and mobility issues, and we know that Bob and his staff are cognizant of his moods and his needs when we are away. For years we did not travel because of our dogs and their special idiosyncrasies, but now we can go out of town, or work an extra long day at the office when necessary, and know that our boys are well-cared for while we are away. What a relief! Bob is nothing short of a miracle for us. You will not be disappointed if you hire him and his very professional, friendly, and communicative staff. I trust Bob completely and I'm very grateful for his presence in our lives."

"Bob and everyone at Portsmouth Dog walks are friendly, professional, and responsible. Our dog Lolly loves her walks and is always happy to see them! They dog sat with Lolly this past summer while we were on vacation and it was a giant relief knowing our girl was home and comfortable in the capable hands of Bob and his staff. We plan on keeping them around for Lolly's weekly walks for a long time to come and we will be happily leaving her in their care when we go away this winter. Having trustworthy in home care for our dog is priceless and Bob provides that and more! We highly recommend Portsmouth Dog Walks!"

"We have had family members mind our dog and cats while away, but that can become unreliable. So we decided to try Portsmouth Dog Walks and Bob exceeded our expectation each time. Our dog Hannah thinks she is the watchdog security system of our home and barks and is sort of playfully aggressive to any new person dropping by. When Bob came over I was nervous but to our delight Hannah took to him, felt comfortable and did not even bark, Bob is an animal person. We had a death in our family and had to leave quickly, again great service took care of everything, feedings of all pets, walks twice a day for thirty minutes. Whatever is needed. Lastly when we received our bill we were very happy and felt the cost was fair and a great value. Also we live in the same Portsmouth neighborhood as Bob his wife and child and two awesome dogs and have witnessed the integrity of them and have no problem with him caring for our loved pets while away."

"I am extremely lucky to have found Portsmouth Dog Walks LLC - and this happened while walking my dog. Let me explain - I work around the corner from where I live. For over 2 years, I came home at lunch to take my beloved beagle Brody out. There had been multiple occasions where meetings had gone through lunch where I literally could not stop thinking about how much I knew Brody needed to get out. Needless to say, my mind was at home and not on my work. So on one of those particular days, I saw Bob's truck parked in a driveway. What a great idea I thought and that night talked it over with my husband. He agreed, anything to help me out and give Brody the exercise he needs. I sent Bob a note on a Sunday afternoon, he promptly responded and came over to the house that evening. He met Brody, we chatted for a few minutes, we felt so comfortable with him that we gave him a key to our house whereas he said he would start walking Brody the next day. I cannot tell you the relief I feel every day knowing that Brody is in such good hands. Bob is prompt, he is very flexible and his walking rates are more than reasonable. He's a really nice guy who loves what he does, and it shows in how well he takes care of Brody. We are thoroughly happy with Bob and recommend his services to all who need a great dog walker. Thank you so much Bob, you're the best !!"

"We have a very big, strong, lab and I was always worried that he would be too much for someone else to handle. I am completely confident with Bob's ability to manage him even in the event of a squirrel sighting! I'm not sure who is more relieved to have Bob show up, me (especially when it's 9 degrees out) or our lab who can't wait for his hour long walk in the woods."

"It has been a great help having Portsmouth Dog Walks take my black lab Lucy out for walks in the nearby woods. Lucy has certainly loved it! In fact, she waits anxiously by the front window as 10am approaches. When Bob appears, regardless of the weather, she joyously bounds out through the storm door to greet him."
"Besides helping to keep my dog Lucy fit, Portsmouth Dog Walks has helped me a great deal. I have Parkinson's disease and sadly cannot handle any longer the uneven terrain in the nearby woods. So I am delighted that Lucy can get a good vigorous walk in with the help of Portsmouth Dog Walks." The Reverend James (Lucy's dad) Portsmouth, NH |
