Updog – Dog Walking & Sitting

Gretel loves her twice daily walks! The UpDog team is professional, reliable and flexible when needed! Thanks for taking great care of our girl!

Josh and Updog are an amazing dog walking service. I work as a resident physician, and my schedule is always changing, sometimes last second– can’t emphasize enough how accommodating Josh was with all my last minute changes. Not only that, but they have a technology where they scan in and scan out at your house that sends an email telling you what time they were there so I can see it directly at work– so nice to have that information readily available each day! Josh was incredibly easy to work with and very focused on the dogs. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walking service!

Josh and his team at UpDog are wonderful to work with and very flexible with scheduling and last minute changes. I really like the notifications that alert me when my appointment begins and ends. You can tell the pride each employee takes working at UpDog.
There were a few instances when the team at UpDog went above and beyond, but one truly sticks out. My dog had gotten into a few Tylenol and I was made aware immediately. They kept a close eye on my pup and even called the vet to see what they could do.
I highly recommend working with Josh and his team at UpDog. They’ll even send pictures of your furry friend if you ask. :)

I love these guys! They’ve been watching my little chihuahuas for several months now, after I had a terrible experience with Out-​U-​Go! Denver. I hired Josh and his team for watching my pups while I’m out of town sometimes on the weekends. My apartment is always in great shape when I come back from being out of town, and my little fatties are well-​fed and well-​loved. I don’t have to worry about them booking up way far in advance, which is really nice. It’s been very easy to schedule last-​minute appointments and make changes when needed.
Last time I was out of town, my flight back was canceled because of bad weather. I called Josh, and he personally made sure to check on my dogs a couple more times until I was able to get back the next day on a later flight.
My only complaint (and it’s a very minor one!) is the functionality of the site on which I book my appointments. It’s not the most user-​friendly. But I’m willing to deal with that small detail to get excellent service from Updog. I highly recommend them!

I just starting working with Joshua at Updog and so far the experience has been superb. We were in need of a dog walker; I work long hours and my husband is always on conference calls or traveling. Our pup needs a consistent walk so we were looking for someone who could walk him 30 minutes each weekday. I called him last week and got a call back the same day. We made plans to meet the following afternoon. Our dog really took to him and Joshua asked a ton of questions about how we handle training and how we give commands — he wants to ensure he keeps it consistent. I like that. He has been by once to walk our dog and he showed up when he said he would and gave our dog a full 30 minutes — he also filled up his water bowl and made sure our pup drank plenty. It’s in the high 80’s today.
He is a super nice guy and I feel he is trustworthy. He has a key to my house but more importantly, he is with my dog (my baby) unsupervised — I have the utmost trust in him in both matters. He is extraordinarily tall and he could probably lift a car — so I immediately felt confident that he could lift my 60lb lab if needed and that he can absolutely handle him. Side note: I have a 1 year old male lab so that’s actually something I worry about. Joshua has a rather rigorous employee hiring and training process — he will tell you all about it if you ask. Another great thing about his service is that he has an online portal where you can list all sorts of important details about your dog and set up a payment process. It’s fair — you pay him on Sundays after the work has been completed (if you pay with a credit card). He wants to make sure he knows what vet you go to and that he has all of those details. He also has a walk GPS tracker system. He scans a QR code before and after the walk — and you can see where and when the walk took place through an app. All in all, this is a legitimate business. I love my dog so much that it actually hurts sometimes… and Joshua passed my test.
