Let me preface this review with I spent hours deep dive researching dog boarding options (in-person, on-line, pet store bulletin boards, veterinary clinics, NextDoor referrals). I first met Travis 2+ years ago on Poplar Beach, Half Moon Bay, he was walking one of his of his clienst but caught my attention among the many other dog walkers on the beach. He was giving this dog under his care his undivided attention, genuine care, and interest. He was not aware I was watching him in awe, exuding joy and happiness from his work. I approached him, introduced and asked for his business card. Fast forward the time of need came, no hesitation contacted Travis. At our initial meet-n-greet it is apparent Travis is not your typical neighborhood “NextDoor” dog walker, he is not the friend’s teenage kid looking for summer money and no, he is not a kennel boarding facility storing my dog in a sterile warehouse. Travis, partnered with his equally competent wife Tara, fulfills a unique dog walking/boarding niche that elevates him to the major league. He is a mature (not elderly) professional who operates with warmth, intellect, competence, skill, care passion, self-assurance, integrity, security. They have a beautiful, well maintained home situated in a natural, coastal, residential setting w/large fenced yard. The bonus of their location is access to dog friendly trails and beaches which Travis utilizes taking his 4-legged clients out for daily adventures. Not just quicky potty walks, but the real deal adventure outings.
