ROXY

The San Francisco Dog Walker · Sep 2, 2020 ·

Joe L.

Recommends your business

Our dog has been with a professional walker most of her 10 years. And Janet is the most wonderful doggie caretaker of them all. She has treated our Roxy like her own since day one and it’s been six years. Janet even gives Roxy her midday pill to treat arthritic pain. She is licensed and her clients travel safely in a new van outfitted with crates. Beyond the great care and fun Janet delivers to her clients, she is dependable and reliable. We trust her completely and can’t say enough.

ABBY

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 13, 2020 ·

Our dog Abby enjoys her “outings” with Janet so much, that we’ve continued them even after my husband and I retired. Abby knows when Janet is close – she runs back & forth between the front window & door…”she’s here, she’s here”…. and doesn’t look back once she’s out the door. And once Abby does get back, she is tired and happy to be home. Thanks Janet for taking such good care of Abby. Bill & Sera

Janet is such an amazing dog walker! I have a little westie, Finn, who has a lot of energy and he always comes home tired and ready to snuggle. This is the first dog I have owned and Janet is extremely knowledgable about food, fleas, and anything else you might have questions about and she is always ready to help! I have also used her for boarding multiple times and she takes such good care of my dog. She has a cute backyard where they can run around and play and she always sends me photos so I’m not missing him too much. Needless to say, if you’re looking for a dog walker who really cares about the wellbeing of your dog Janet is the only choice!

Our dog, Maya, is so happy when she sees the Doggie Business van.  Janet is a wonderful person with a real affinity and understanding of dogs.  We highly recommend Doggie Business!!

BAILEYS

The San Francisco Dog Walker · Feb 17, 2017 ·

Janet has been walking our dog Baileys for over two years now. Janet is a god send for both Baileys and our family. Janet treats Baileys like she is part of her family and Baileys cannot wait for Janet to take her for a play date because let me tell you, Janet does not merely walk the dogs, she plays with them, interacts with them and makes sure that they are safe. Baileys comes home a very happy and exhausted dog. Janet also walked our other dog Roscoe until he passed-he would wait by the window at the front of the house each day for Janet’s dog safe truck to pull up. That is a true testament to the effect that Janet has on dogs-they adore her and she adores them back. Janet also uses towels in the crates in her truck-this reduces the amount of water and dirt that normally would wind up in your home. We highly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a kind, capable and wonderful dog walker.

Janet is amazing! We tried several dog walkers before her and our 1 year old (at the time) would run away because he was scared and used to being only with us, those dog walkers would give up immediately. Janet took our dog in and really worked with him; spent the time getting him comfortable and acclimated to both her and her group. One year later and he’s in love with not only Janet (Auntie Janet) but loves to play with all the dogs in her group and runs out the door excited when she comes to pick him up. He always comes home dirty and tired (which we love!). Janet is very professional as a business owner. I appreciate she has the dogs in a large comfortable van with cages so they can have their own space. She communicates well in advanced when she will not be able to walk our dog and gives us enough time to make other arrangements. We highly recommend her to anyone who loves and wants the best for their dog.

I don’t know what I would do without Doggie Business! I am a busy professional with a very hectic schedule and I also happen to have a dog with way more energy than I have! Luckily, I found Doggie Business about 2 years ago. MJ is in love with Janet and I am thrilled because MJ gets plenty of exercise on the days she goes out with Doggie Business (here is a picture of her after a 2 hour walk with Doggie Business). MJ has also spent many nights at Janet’s house – I love knowing she is with Janet rather than at a big kennel where she is just one of many dogs. Thanks Doggie Business for taking such good care of MJ because I can’t do it all on my own!  Sara S.

JACK

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 30, 2013 ·

Janet is a professional dog walker that takes her job seriously and genuinely loves walking her dogs. Her dog groups are small so your dog stays safe and gets plenty of attention. Our dog Jack has been with Janet since he was a puppy and absolutely loves her, and my husband and I do too. She goes above and beyond her job. For example, she makes sure that Jack is returned home clean by wiping off his paws and body down with a towel or if needed a quick bath in her tub, and brushing out his fur. She pays close attention to foxtails and other things that might harm your dog. I could go on and on about all of the amazing experiences that we’ve had with Janet.  UnChu R.

Janet Slissman is the best dog-walker in San Francisco. Hands Down! She loves dogs and genuinely cares about them. Our 5 year old Golden retriever loves her and cant wait to hop in the cool van for a day of fun. Since Having Janet walk our dog, we have seen her better socialize with other dogs which was a big issue when we initially brought her home. 2 years ago when Janet first walked our dog, she immediately let us know that she might have weak hips. When our dog was eventually diagnosed with hip displasia, Janet helped us with all the information about the disease and kept us from panicking. Besides being a phenomenal dog-walker, Janet is a gem of a person, very loving and caring. No matter how many times we changed our schedule, she always accommodated us when she did not have to. We highly highly recommend Janet and Doggie Business. – Biwesh and Suju

I’ve had dogs all of my life, and never had to hire a Dog Walker.  In 2011, I called Doggie Business and that was one of the best decisions I have made.  Janet Slissman is reliable, dependable and knowledgeable.  She is so good with my little boy, who loves his group walks and his Auntie Janet.

You are the Best.  Mary G.

Janet is a tremendous dog walker!  She is incredibly reliable, flexible, attentive, communicative, and quite the dog charmer. Recently our dog got a foxtail in his ear and she called immediately, took him to our vet, and saved him a painful procedure and us hundreds of dollars! We feel so lucky to have Auntie Janet taking care of our dog and know you will feel the same.  Betsy B.

Janet is the best. My dog is so much happier since he started going for his daily walks with Janet. He gets great exercise and has lost weight. He looks forward to hanging out with the pack. Julie M.

PENNY

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 21, 2013 ·

My dog is a much happier dog since she has been walked by Janet. She gets three big walks a week and it has helped her mood and keeps her weight down. We have been using Janet for 6 months and will keep using her. When our dog hears the van pull up she runs to jump in. I know she loves it.

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 7, 2013 ·

Janet is a doggie genius!  She has been walking our dogs for a long long time and was highly recommended by our groomer.  Our Lab has become svelte and athletic at the advanced age of 9.  He looks like a young dog and acts like one, too.  All due to Janet’s energetic and dog appropriate walks, hikes, swims etc.  She even bathes him up when she gets him home.  We have a very old dog who is no longer able to walk out but when she could, she would not go with anyone and actually growled at our previous dog walker and hid under the bed.  Janet showed incredible patience and hard work and Lily grew to love her and look forward to her walks and outings.  I have left my dogs with Janet overnight and they come home happy and content.  They are always glad to see her.  I cannot recommend her too highly.  You are lucky if she chooses you!

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 7, 2013 ·

After noticing that our poor dog was looking a little bored and a little fat we thought it was time to find a dog walker. Well, along came Janet. It didn’t take long for our puppy to fall in love with her and look forward to the sound of her van. You can tell she loves what she does. Completely trustworthy, reliable and loving. Janet is just amazing! We couldn’t recommend her enough. Now our dog is happier and fitter and we’re harboring a lot less guilt. Reliable, reasonable, accommodating – perfect for dog walks and dog boarding – we adore Janet and Doggie Business.  No more guilt about a bored dog left at home just a happy and healthy hound now!

MAESTRO

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 7, 2013 ·

Doggie Business is the creme de la creme of Dog Walking Services in the San Francisco Bay Area. Run by Janet Slissman, a native of San Francisco, Janet combines her 15 years of program management in the corporate world with her life long passion for animals, to ensure that your dog is safe, happy and thriving under her daily care. I have a 13 year old dog who is the happiest and most fit he has ever been in his life! His daily “walks” range from swimming in lakes, to romping through some of San Francisco’s most beautiful parks, and traversing interesting trails. When I go off to work each day, I know my dog has a wonderful adventure awaiting him.

BEIJO

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 7, 2013 ·

I was referred to Janet by a friend and I gave her a call. Even though I did not live in her service area, she was willing to come and meet my dog. I was a bit worried since, my one and a half year old Portuguese Water Dog is “active” to say the least, and I had been told by others dog walkers that she was “difficult”. Janet came in to our home with the warmest greeting and open arms to my high-jumping dog. We have taken her on as our regular dog-walker. And I cannot say enough good things about Janet. She cares so much for all the dogs and works hard to find them the right playmates. She is always educating us on new information, not to mention the gear available for dogs. Janet also lovingly cared for our pup while we were out of town for a few days, and we came home to a happy dog. Janet is a gem of a woman. An incredible, very professional, Doggie Business Mama! This woman loves dogs and loves her work. I highly recommend her services!

SHASTA

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 6, 2013 ·

Of course we give Janet 5 stars. Doggie Business impeccable service starts with the van. It is simply cleaner than our family mini van… It comes with rugs and individual crates with clean towels. Nothing to do with those cars packed of barking dogs on top of each other that you see everywhere in the city. Our dog Shasta smells it from the other end of the street, rushes to the front door, and starts whining. And then there is Janet. She clearly has a passion for dogs, and she truly cares about the dogs she walks. Within a week she had figured out Shasta’s personality. She has a genuine interest in our dog: she emails as soon as she notices something new or different in her behavior, and she is full of sound advice . There have been many changes in Shasta: a calmer, more balanced dog, more obedient (no more pulling on the leash!), and, last but not least for an ever hungry lab, a thinner, better looking, healthier dog.  So I know it is a cliché, but it is for us one of those situation where we think: why didn’t we do it earlier.

MAX

The San Francisco Dog Walker · May 5, 2013 ·

My dog loves Janet!!!  She’s a fantastic find!  Max, my baby, can hear her van pull up out front and he immediately freaks out!  He can’t get out the door fast enough!  She’s dependable, professional, and passionate about her dogs! Highly recommend!

BELLE

The San Francisco Dog Walker · Apr 9, 2013 ·

Our happy dog has had the pleasure of Janet’s company for one month. Belle was showing signs of her age (10) when the two first met, and now she is back to jumping for joy about walk time AND her appetite has improved. We couldn’t be happier! Janet is extremely flexible, caring, thoughtful, and takes her job very seriously. She came highly recommended and we can see why!  Betsy, James, and Belle
