As owners of a reactive and sometimes rowdy pup I cannot recommend this place enough. We were paired with a walker, Jade, who was experienced with reactive/protective dogs. From the minute she met our dog wr knew she'd be a great fit, she did absolutely everything right and I swear he was better behaved when we got back. Very much worth every penny and we can't wait to work with her again. Thank you Jade and Strut The Pup for a stellar experience!

It's been over a year and half now since we moved to Seattle. Moving here was stressful because that meant we had to find all our trusted services for our pets all over again. Our dogs are our life as I'm sure are the pets belonging to all the people looking for a dog walker. As such, you're probably grooming through all the various companies here trying to find a company who will love animals the way you do and will be dependable in moments when you can't be there for them. Well, look no further. Strut The Pup has risen to the occasion for us time and time again. I don't know how they do it with the constant cycling of the pandemic and the, I'm sure, overwhelming need by Seattle folk for dog walkers. Despite it all, they run a successful business. We have 2 golden retrievers who, in age, are older but in energy level are puppies. We love them as our children. When we first met Einat's team, we knew we had found the right company. They had excellent communication. They were clear with the services they offered. They were flexible with our needs and of course, they have excellent AND experienced walkers working for them. During our time in Seattle, we have worked with different walkers with the company but Dana has been our main person. You can tell just from how she greets the dogs at the door that she is truly a dog person through and through. Our dogs, in turn, run and jump from wherever they are in the house when they hear her car pull up. She's always on time and whenever there may be a concern about the dogs, I get instant messaging from the team. After every walk, I get a picture of the dogs and a daily report. More recently, one of our dogs had a terminal diagnosis and had to undergo significant treatment. Einat and Dana have been SO great constantly inquiring on how she was doing and how they could support our needs. I really appreciated that because it reflected how much they cared. Over our vacation, we were able to have someone come by and check in on the house when no one else we knew could drop by. Again, much appreciated and was evidence that they go above and beyond to support their clients. Nowadays, we stress about so many things in our lives, but it's nice to know that we don't have to stress about our dogs boredom at home and safety when they are out on a walk. We are so fortunate to have Dana and Einat and I hope that others will discover the same.

I would love to give a glowing review because the kindness and attitude of the people working here are great. However, if my dog isn't safe, that's a dealbreaker - totally unacceptable. Knowing that my dog is transported in Strut The Pup vans, I am always excited to see them on the road. I was just heartbroken to personally observe a Strut The Pup employee breaking the law and putting dogs at risk by wearing out a mobile phone while driving. This was no 3-second glance or getting directions, this was a full minute at a stoplight with constant double-thumb-taps and then continuing while driving once the light turned green and the driver took off next to me. It's so sad to see screen addiction undermine the promises that businesses make - this one, on the Strut The Pup web site, says that "the vans provide a comfortable and safe environment" which is not possible when driving is secondary to using a hand-held screen. Perhaps the company needs to advertise that their drivers don't use devices while driving and then keep that promise.

This review is WAY overdue, but I was just recommending Strut the Pup to a friend and wanted to repeat some of that here! Everyone I talked to at Strut the Pup was very helpful, and I especially want to call out Dana! Dana took care of my dog when I started a new job that required I be away from home for much longer than my dog was used to. I can't say enough good things about Dana! My dog was large, enthusiastic, and had some health problems, so she could be a handful. Dana showed up to check in on, walk, and play with her every day - rain or shine (I think there were even some snow days!). Her updates were wonderful and I always looked forward to showing her photos to my coworkers each afternoon. It was such a relief to know that my dog wasn't alone the entire day, and my dog was thrilled every time her best friend Dana came to visit. :)

I've been using Strut for about two months now and I have been nothing but happy with their service! Leah is my regular walker and she is awesome, always sends pictures, always gives me updates even with the icky stuff like how my dogs p*** looks (she has a sensitive tummy lol), and doesn't judge when my house is messy lol. Overall awesome company that I trust with my dog!

The Strut the Pup team has been a lifesaver for us on numerous occasions. Whether it's been an extended stay for a planned vacation, a last minute work trip, or a flight cancellation that left us stranded, the STP family has always been helpful and taken amazing care of our 60lb fur baby and our home. Our home is always well cared for, with the kitchen and bathrooms left spotless and all p*** picked up in the yard. Our girl, who is extremely shy and anxious, loves having them stay over so she doesn't have to leave her comfort zone. They've been patient with her and taken the time to know her (i.e. letting her come to them at her own pace), and she is much less stressed when we return than if we had sent her to a doggie hotel. At this point, we would never go back to any other accommodation when we aren't able to bring her on our adventures. When it comes to our girl, we only trust STP.

We use Strut the Pup for daily dog walks and have had a great experience. We started using the Puppy Package when our girl was only 10 or 12 weeks old and it was perfect- it gives our dog the attention she needs at the right time, and is a great price as compared to similar services elsewhere. Kait is our walker and we love how communicative she is and how much she cares for our sweet pup. We know our dog loves her, too! We don't have much experience with any other dog walking service to compare but we are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend.

Love Strut the pup. Great walkers, reliable, good communication. Easy platform for scheduling and viewing appointments. We've had 4 different walkers thru the past year, and each has been wonderful with the dogs, learning their personalities and quirks. Def. Recommend.

I can't say enough how much I love Strut the Pup. Every walker I've had through them is a rockstar. My regular walker, Chuck, is the kindest guy and you'll never meet someone who loves dogs more. My dog is a sassy one, and she's particular about who she trusts. But she loves Chuck, almost more than me. To boot, Einat, the founder and owner, is also phenomenal. She lives for animals and it's obvious in the way she runs her company. I chose STP because they treat their employees like employees, not disposable contract labor. The walkers get a living wage and benefits, and I know they're taken good care of. STP might be more expensive than Rover, but you get much more than you pay for. During the intense and uncertain coronavirus pandemic, Einat pulled out all the stops to take care of her staff and clients-- she kept her staff on, particularly if they're unable to work. She even decided to pay it forward and take care of the community by comping service for first responders, medical staff, and those who have lost their jobs from the pandemic. I put off writing this review for too long. They deserve as many stars as I can award them.

This is not a review of their service but rather their lack of service. We had been looking for a local company to take care of our pup for quite a while. After lots of research, it seemed like Strut the Pup was the winner. Their website states "What areas do we serve? We are all over the Puget Sound...or at least we try to be. If you happen to be in an area that we do not currently serve, we will do everything we can to help you. Look at it this way, you could be the first customer in that particular area...a trendsetter!" I get it, they can't be everywhere in the Puget Sound. Well we're in Seattle, only 15 mins from downtown, and were told they don't serve our area. There was no "we will do everything we can to help you," just a "sorry, no." From the reviews, they sound like a wonderful company, they just need to make it clear what areas they serve.

We have been using Strut the Pup for over 10 years for our dogs (past and present). I love them and they provide reliable and excellent dog services. We have had several different dog walkers, but each of them have been excellent. They go through screening by the owner. In 10 years we have never had issues! I highly recommend them and the owner is really great, friendly and awesome!

Strut the Pup is awesome! I have been using them for almost two years to walk my dog twice a week. All of the walkers are fantastic with my dog and he loves them (especially Dana!). They are very responsive to schedule changes and really care about what they do. I love getting the walk reports and the pictures!

Strut the Pup is great and I'm so glad we found them. Our dog always comes home happy and tired.
