Riley/Island Pooch is so great! Riley immediately established a great rapport with my dogs - loving and firm at the same time.
She understands so much about the dog brain. She walks them with a pack which helps them socialize, get great exercise and she gives me pointers all the time. She has also boarded my dogs when we go away and I know they are safe and so well cared for. She sends updates on walks that include photos and responds to texts immediately.
I have never felt better about having someone else care for my dogs than I do with Riley and her team. She is responsible, easy to work with and very kind. I highly recommend Island Pooch!
