"Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?  Sanger is going on 12 years old, and has always been an extremely well-mannered dog on the trail.  But of course, she has her days when her hearing is suddenly not as good as usual, and her recall can be tough to enforce.  I've noticed since she has been going on her twice a week Escapes with Elaine and Jessica, her recall with me has improved tremendously.  Not only that, but Sanger has never been a "dogs" dog, much preferring to socialize with other humans.  Lately she's been starting little games of chase at the dog park and is not as timid when we come upon another dog on the trail.  It's been great for her social skills! I trust Jessica and Elaine with the most precious thing in my life and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services wholeheartedly."

"Every day Charlie, our puppy, sits by the door waiting for Urban Escapes to arrive. She comes home from her walks exhausted and happy. We are so thankful to Urban Escapes for assisting us in giving Charlie enough exercise and attention during our busy daily schedules. In addition, Jessica and Elaine are extremely organized, responsible and professional which of course we highly value-we could not ask for better care for our favorite companion!"

"Every morning my dog waits patiently by the door in anticipation of Urban Escapes coming to take her out to play. Rain or shine, whether they are scheduled to come or not, there's my dog waiting and hoping! My dog is my baby and to see her so happy and excited when Elaine or Jessica walks through that door, I couldn't ask for more. And when she gets home after playing, she's exhausted and sleeps all day long. I can't thank you guys enough for giving me the peace of mind that my dog is so well taken care of."

"Urban Escapes is the best discovery I have had since recently moving to the Bay Area. Because I work in the city, it is tough to commute each day and still get Koda the exercise and stimulation he craves. Jessica handles Koda with the loving care she would her own dog. I love the daily report cards so that I can keep up with the fun activities and know someone is looking after my dog’s well being. Thanks Urban Escapes!"

"Before Urban Escapes, it was hard to get our young, energetic dog Huckleberry the exercise he needed during the work week. Sometimes he would even "escape" the yard! Not any more, since his walks with Urban Escapes began. Knowing that he will go out and have fun with his friends gives me such peace of mind, as do Elaine and Jessica's reliability, responsibility, and loving care they give Huckleberry."

"The bottom line...Kiko leaves the house fired up and returns wiped out. The daily report card is a great way for us to keep track of Kiko's health status and behavior. Jessica and Elaine not only give him the daily exercise and social time he needs, they also reinforce his recall and obedience training in general. We have ultimate trust and confidence in their care of our pup."

"It's easy to tell that Abbey loves her walks with Jessica, Elaine and all her canine friends at Urban Escapes. She wags her whole body when they pick her up, and she always comes back tired and happy. It's so great to know that Abbey always has a fun and safe adventure with her friends when we're not home.  Not only do we know she's safe and practicing good manners, but we also get to hear what fun she's been having when we read Jessica & Elaine's walk reports! Urban Escapes has been a wonderful addition to Abbey's life - she loves them and so do we!"

"Our 145-pound Bernese Mountain Dog, Max, played his way down to 118-pounds thanks to his Urban Escapes adventures with his fellow canine friends! He comes back each time wagging his tail and panting before he settles in for his good 4 hour nap!"

"Jessica and Elaine provide wonderful care and exercise for our very active greyhound, Gwynevere. I am comforted to know that they have their own dogs and have worked as dog trainers and with pets for a long time. Their report cards are full of details about their day with Gwynevere and help support a foundation of positive training techniques with her."

"Big Boy waits anxiously for Elaine or Jessica from Urban Escapes to come pick him up. He has such a wonderful and safe adventure every time. He also loves the company of the other dogs. I certainly appreciate their service as I know my dog receives the exercise and socialization that he needs. I recommend their services wholeheartedly with no reservations. "
