Customer Reviews

Excellent! March 20, 2010

Having a rescue Irish Setter with some issues prior to my ownership, I was worried about having just anyone excercise him when I work late. All worries were cast aside. The service is awesome. I love having the peace of mind that my pet is being exercised and socialized when I am pressed for time. These guys are the best and most trustworthy. And having a doctorate in education, I am very selective.

Excellent service! - JJ - Mar 1, 2009
I have been very happy with the kindness and flexibility Russell has shown to me and my puppy! I feel relieved at work knowing my dog is in such good hands during the day. Thank you!

Top Notch - Lori - July 13, 2009
My black lab, Betty, is in great hands with his new favorite girl, Carrie :) Walks with Zara (Russell and team) do a great job of taking care of my girl. They are always reliable, professional and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are extremely flexible with my schedule and anytime I need to cancel a walk or add one, they have always been there for me. Thanks!

Wonderful People with Wonderful Service - Eve - Apr 12, 2009
When we first moved here we had a bad experience so I was hesitant when I had to go out of town again. Lucky for me I found Walks with Zara! Russell runs such a professional business and is very patient with our lab; who can be difficult on walks. This is a company who puts dogs first and understands that plans can change at the last minute and tries to accommodate accordingly. We had Carrie for a week-long over night stay and Zeus just adored her. She even typed up a full report on what they did together. Thank you Russell & Carrie for providing the kind of service dog owners can really trust!

WONDERFUL! - Lindsay - Mar 16, 2009
Russell and John are so nice and SO wonderful with our dog. The first day they came to walk our dog he was so scared he wouldn't go near them- Russell and John were both so patient with him and because of their kindness and their efforts every day, the walks became his favorite part of the day... We would never think of using anyone else!

Great Dog Walking Service! - Bookrazy - July 13, 2009
I highly recommend using Walks with Zara. I needed a dog walker in a pinch and was glad to have found Walks with Zara. Russell is super nice and Carrie and the rest of the team that walked my two dogs were great. My dogs looked forward to going on their walks everyday. The communication with Carrie and Russell is great too. If I need dog walking services again I will definitely be using them.
