Sniff and Go

Emi and her team are wonderful — super-​friendly, efficient and professional. There have been a few occasions where I have needed their help at short notice and they have always been extremely accommodating. The GPS tracking system and email reporting is a nice added bonus for peace of mind.

After leaving Inca, our cat, with a cat hotel previously and not being comfortable with the small boxes she was held in we decided to take another approach. Sniff and Go came to our place to do an initial meet and greet. They answered all our questions and were professional leaving us happy to go ahead and use their services.
We were away for 10 days and the regular email updates and photos were so great. Inca looked relaxed and we were told she was doing great. On our return everything was as it was when we left and Inca was chilled out and happy to have been left in her own surroundings.
We will use Sniff and Go every time we are out of town now and won’t hesitate to recommend to others. Great, professional and convenient service! Thank you!

Over 4 years later and Emi is still the best. She’s always super helpful and I know my dog loves her!

Sniff and Go in 5 words:
Communicative.
Compassionate.
Patient.
Responsible.
Attentive.
These are all the traits of someone that you would want caring for your pet. Someone that will love your pet like they do their own pets. Paul and Emi have been friends of mine for a very long time, and while I have never had a pet for them to pet-​sit, I have seen them with their clients’ pets; loving and attentive caregivers. The right mix of love, attention, and exercise! They are SO awesome with animals. The love line that extends between their pets and their clients’ pets– is blurred. They see no line. Your pet IS their pet!!!
Love is all they have for friends, family and fur-​babies!
Awesome!

My two dogs really enjoy their walks! Emi and company really love dogs and I’m happy that they really care about their canine clients. The best dog walkers I’ve had!

Emi is great at answering any questions that you may have. Her electronic QR Code system to track when the pet sitter has come and gone to your home is amazing. You can log in to see pictures and notes from the pet sitter. She is quick to respond and incredibly helpful. I came home this past vacation to find my door decorated for the Holidays! Boy. what a surprise! I am so happy that I found Sniff and Go for my pet care needs. I loved the daily check ins and great service!

After a year of receiving services from Sniff and Go, they truly deserve a 5 stars and plus! We are sad we can’t bring them with us to the South Bay! Paul and Emi are amazing! They are reliable and responsible. We have used both dog walking and cat sitting, and we are more than satisfied. I’ve been called a ‘type A person’, but sniff and go impressed me. Highly recommend them for any pet services!

This review is long overdue. I really can’t express in words how much we love Emi, Paul and their team. They have only been walking our dogs since January ’15, but it feels like forever. We have two dogs, a stubborn frenchie and a baby, 110lb, English Mastiff. I was so worried about finding a dog walking service that would be able to work with us while we had puppy, specifically a giant-​breed puppy. Emi came over and we figured out a gameplan for a few months and then reevaluated multiple times based on how the mastiff was doing. Emi also had previous experience with giant breeds and completely put my mind at ease before we even got the new puppy! At one point the dog’s had completely separate schedules based on their different needs-​the frenchie was going on group walks, while the mastiff was just getting potty breaks because she didn’t know how to walk on a leash yet. Emi would update me every week and eventually let me know when she thought the baby mastiff was ready to join the group walks.
Currently, they both go on hour-​long group walks and are SO happy when they get back. With our busy (and inconsistent) work schedules, we absolutely would not be able to have two dogs without Sniff and Go. My schedule changes every month and Emi is so accommodating. Unfortunately, I have been giving her and Paul very late notice for walks lately and she still does everything she can to get someone over to the house for, at the very least, a quick potty break for super reasonable prices.
Sniff and Go also uses a GPS tracking service that alerts me when the pups are picked up and dropped off and where they go on their walks. My previous dog walker forgot them on multiple occasions and I never knew unless I texted him every night asking how the walk went! Not the case here. I always know that they get walked and if they do #1 or #2 while they’re out. It’s so nice to have piece of mind while I’m at work. I’ve only checked a couple times where they walk, but they have definitely seen more of the city than I have. They seem to always be in a different spot.
Sniff and Go is an amazing company. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them.
Emi and Paul, thank you so much for everything. We have two very social, healthy, happy and easygoing dogs thanks to you. Really can’t thank you enough. :)

We were so excited to find Sniff and Go to walk our older terrier Maddie. We adopted her from the SPCA as a senior pet. She was not very comfortable around other dogs (and moved slower than most due to her age) so we wanted individual dog walks for her. This is the first dog walkers that we have had and interviewed and I give them five stars for showing up on time and taking care of her pm walks. The staff at Sniff and Go have been excellent about doing Maddie’s regular Monday-​Friday afternoon walks. I love how their system lets you know when the dog was walked and whether they went to the bathroom or not. This is always useful information and great peace of mind when you are not at home! The staff at Sniff and Go has been very understanding at the changing needs of our aging dog. And, having her walked on a regular basis has taken the stress away from owning a dog. I always thought that having a dog walker was unnecessary but I quickly realized how much happier our dog was (and how much stress it took out of our lives) to have her second walk of the day taken care of. Sniff and Go will even give your dog snacks that you leave for her during the day which I really appreciated. As we get ready to send our lovely little terrier who is now riddled with cancer to doggie heaven we thank Sniff and Go for taking wonderful care of our much beloved dog. Maddie thanks you for all of the good care and wonderful walks that you have provided for her! I recommend this company for anyone looking for reliable dog walkers that you can count on.
Thanks Sniff and Go!!! You made it so much easier to provide a great life for our lovely little dog!

I absolutely love this service! I’ve been using Sniff and Go for about 5 months now and the service is just great. Emi was wonderful, she came over before the service started and got to know my dogs. Now my dogs gets walks 5 days a week and absolutely love the team :)
My dogs are noticeable happier getting daily walks. Emi always responds right away if I ever need anything. I really can’t say enough good things about this service!

I highly recommend Sniff and Go! Emi and her team are amazing to work with. Our puppy, Krejci, looks forward to her walk everyday and has a great relationship with her walkers. Emi was able to find time that worked for Krejci and us, and got us started right away. The tracking system they provide is great since we are first time puppy parents. Overall, great people and service who love dogs!

Highly recommended. Emi is very attentive to our cat, Santa. She always sends photos and spends quality time playing whenever we are away. We’ve used Sniff N Go a half dozen times and they are the best.

I can tell my dog loves to go out on her walks with Sniff and Go. I have been very happy with their service. Also, Sniff and Go is very responsive to my emails despite their need to juggle many emails/​requests from dog-​owners.
I am a major type-​A and I made an excel spreadsheet full of dog walkers I found on the internet during my search for the right walker. Many of them didn’t get back to me or got back to me but cancelled and rescheduled the intro meeting a few times. Sniff and Go was responsive and was professional from day one.

I cannot say enough good things about Emi, Paul and the entire Sniff and Go team! They have been walking my dog Bella for two years now, and they continue to impress me with their reliability, dedication, and the way they truly care about my dog. When I first moved here, I had never left my dog, Bella, with a dog sitter other than my mom, nor had I ever hired a dog walker. I reached out to Emi to inquire about the daily walking service, and she responded almost immediately and set up a time to come meet with me and meet Bella. From that initial meeting, it was clear how trustworthy and dedicated they are to ensuring your pet is happy and safe. They even send daily updates about the walk! It is so comforting to know that Bella is so well taken care of while I am at work.
In addition to the daily walking, Emi and Paul also watch Bella for me whenever I am traveling. Bella has separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving her, but she seems to love staying with Emi & Paul. They send me updates, with pictures, so I am at ease knowing that Bella is happy and well taken care of when I am away!

I have used Sniff and Go pet sitting service for a couple of times now. Emi and Raquel always take good care of my cat when my husband and I are out of town. They are very reliable, trustworthy, professional and always go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. My cat is very happy with them as well! Thumbs up for Sniff and Go! If you are looking for a great pet sitter in San Francisco, give them a try, you will never be disappointed.

Emi watched my 2 dogs when I was in Tahoe. She did a wonderful job!!! She sent me daily updates with pictures. The dogs seemed very relaxed and happy when I came home. I will definitely be using their service again!!!
Thank you from Shannon, Bandit, and Brady

This is the first time I’ve hired any dogsitting service. Eager to find someone with a good reputation but reasonable price, I emailed Emi, who I saw also owned a Maltese mix.
Emi was prompt and cheerful in her replies and immediately set up a meet and greet. She took notes of everything Rufus needed and she was already familiar with my neighborhood, right down to how to unlock our finicky doors. After the meet and greet, Rufus sat by the front door for more than 30 minutes waiting for her to come back.
I had worries about leaving Rufus because he was sick just the week before my trip, but I left him in very capable hands with Emi. She emailed me updates after every visit and attached the most adorable photos of him. I felt totally at ease and could concentrate on school all week without worry.
I’ve since hired Emi 2 more times, and I would definitely recommend them for any pet services you may need!

When my husband and I go out of town we usually have my mom come and take care of the animals. We heard about Sniff and Go through a friend of ours and after hearing how great they were we thought we’d give mom a break ;)
Emi came over to meet our furry friends (3 cats and 1 dog) and i was very impressed by her from the start. She’s very professional and the animals all seemed to love her right off the bat! I love that she emailed us with photos and updates of how they were all doing. It set my mind at ease and allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.
Upon returning, my husband and i talked about maybe having the Sniff and Go folks come walk our dog on a regular basis. After our experience with them during our vacation, we had decided to hire them to walk Red (our 93 lb rhodesian ridgeback) on a regular basis. It’s clear that he really enjoys and benefits from his time with Emi and her staff, as he is knocked out in the early evening.
I would highly recommend Sniff and Go to anyone looking for a great dog walker/​sitter.

I am also a pet sitter and dog walker, and met Emi at a pet CPR class.
I had her take care of my 2 little dogs while we were away on a weekend trip. She sent me texts and pics, to keep me updated, it was great. I know my pups were getting great care with Emi.
Emi also fills in to help me at times, and always does a great job, and is very reliable.
Call Sniff and Go!

OK Unilocal… this may be the most serious review I’ll ever compose. I don’t mean serious in a weird «I tell people I have two kids and they later find I really mean cats» kinda a way, but I take the responsibility of having pets to heart. I feel lucky to be able to have pets and that concern is one of prime importance. I don’t «own» them, they’re my little roommates.
Holiday times are tough, friends travel. This is the first time I’d hit a brick wall and didn’t know what to do. I’ve never even lived with random roommates because I would straight freak out on someone if they let my cats out or forbid something else should happened.
I needed a cat sitter, stat (everything sounds more important with medical lingo). Someone to check in and feed my little homies. Emi from Sniff and Go is a rookie in this here game of pet care, but it’s the personality I was looking for. I don’t care if you’ve walked dogs for 20 years, I can tell if you don’t really dig it. Emi visited and I showed her the place, gave her the spiel, and she absorbed it all no problems. She was comfortable, and my cats didn’t tweak out and hide under the bed. Good signs.
I pass her the keys to casa de Justin N and off I go on my trip *fingers crossed*…
On cue, both days, I got my text updates. Hard food topped off, catnip doled out, tuna delivered. Picture messages showing the cats gobbling food and strutting about at ease.
My sigh of relief was awkwardly loud.
I got home, everything as I left it, including two chipper cats and a professional Sniff and Go invoice awaiting me in the inbox. So much cheaper than notable competition.
I really can’t thank her enough. I can get away with 2 day jaunts but a 5 day trip is too much without intervention. I finally found someone to allow me to take a trip here and there without worrying about the cats. $ 20 a visit is infinitely worth the piece of mind I get knowing my cats are safe, full, and rolling in their catnip. If they could talk I’m sure they’d thank her too.
