What Our Customers Are Saying
Wild & Free does such an amazing job! All the walkers are very professional and I am so thankful to have their services! I recommend them to everyone. My dog loves them too! 🙂
Wild & Free Pet Services is the best dog walking service I’ve ever used. I didn’t love Wag and Rover given the inconsistency between walkers and lack of personal introduction. We met the owner and our regular walker prior to the first walk which made me feel comfortable and confident. The owner and staff of Wild & Free are professional, dependable, and flexible with desired walk time windows. Rain or shine, my puppy gets a walk and/or enrichments and training every visit. I highly recommend them!
GUILIA & GUS
We’ve been using Wild & Free Pet Services since 2019 and have been so impressed with the care and heart they put into their practice! They’re great at communication and scheduling is a breeze with the online portal.
