About
🌈❤️ queer owned
business ❤️🌈
Hi! My name is Harvey (they/them) (FKA Ellyn) and I have been working professionally with dogs since 2015. I founded and built Best Buddy Dog Walks in San Francisco in 2018 and then sold it when I moved to East Bay in 2021. Now I am excited to announce that I am officially accepting new pups for Harvey's Hounds!I have worked with hundreds of dogs of all kinds:
* golden doodles * labradoodles * sheperdoodles * pretty much all kinds of doodles * golden retrievers * lab retreivers * shepherds * frenchies * corgis * daschunds * chihuahuas * pomeranians * chowchows * boston terriers * dobermans * shihs tzus * samoyeds * bulldogs *
And so much more!When choosing someone to care for your baby, you don't want to pick just anyone. You want someone who knows what they're doing. Someone experienced and insured. Someone you can trust to be on time, to be conscientious, and most of all — who really loves your dog and gives them the time of their life, every day! We take silliness seriously around here 🙃I fully believe in positive reinforcement training, and am continuously keeping up-to-date with the most innovative and kind reinforcement methods available. I am also open to incorporating and reinforcing any skills you may be working on with your dog at home.My favorite thing in the world is seeing friendships develop between dogs, and seeing dogs become more and more fully themselves through secure relationships with other dogs (just like humans do!) It's truly a joy and is magical to witness.Working with me, I want you to feel 100% confident that your fur baby is living its best life while you are living yours!AND cute pics shared regularly so you can post to your IG stories about how much fun your baby is having 😉

"[Harvey] is by far the best dog walker we have ever had (and we have had several!). I could swear my dogs are smiling after they have been with her! We have 2 energetic dogs and [Harvey] treats them as her own: she is highly skilled with managing them on walks, continuing training we have started, and overall makes them feel safe and loved (which makes me feel great). She is reliable week after week - adjusting to my schedule and needs, and has never not shown up when she says she is going to. I trust [Harvey] with my dogs wholeheartedly - she comes in the house, gets the dogs ready for walks, and when finished always let's me know, and makes sure the dogs have plenty of water. I cannot recommend [Harvey] highly enough - we are so grateful to have her." — Steph W"[Harvey] is a godsend. seriously. We thought we got easy dogs but to our dismay we ended up with two very different high maintenance golden retrievers - each with a different personality and health concern. [Harvey] has been absolutely wonderful rolling with the punches as we navigate life with our pups. She is always thinking out of the box and offering up alternate solutions to fit our needs. On top of all that, she is the utmost professional and at no time have we ever worried about our pups while they have been in her care. Both our dogs adore her, respect her and, i know, have a blast with her. If you are looking for a dependable person to add to your family, [Harvey] is your gal. We couldn't think more highly of her or her services. Meg and Penny are two lucky pups to have her in their lives!" — Erica S"Well, I don't know how much more I can add to these other reviews, because [Harvey] & Jared are everything the other client's have already posted and more. at an age where I cannot walk my doggie anymore, just imagine how much I had to trust this wonderful couple.....and I do, for sure, trust them 100%, and they deserve it. My Sadie loves them both very much and couldn't be a happier rescue pup." — Diane P"We have been clients of [Harvey] and Jared's for over a year. They are THE BEST!!! We rest easy knowing our greyhounds are safe and happy in their care. We love the easy communication, and the pups always have a blast on their adventures.
[Harvey] and Jared are super reliable, and truly care about the pups. They are dedicated to fostering healthy pack relationships with the dogs. They have gone above and beyond when one of our 2 greyhounds needed extra care for a boo-boo.
They actively plan in advance, which is a huge help, and have recommended other fantastic dog walkers or sitters when they were not available. We can not recommend them more highly!!!!" - Kate M"[Harvey] and Jared are the A team. They are consistent, thoughtful and have always kept us informed about everything. Imagine meeting someone who cares about your pup the way you do. That's them! Dirt on the carpet, sore paws, boo boos on the ear...no detail goes unnoticed or ignored. [Harvey] always communicates what happened during the day and if there's anything else we should know. I've never come home to a surprise.
A while back, our place was burglarized and [Harvey] let us know immediately that things looked off when she arrived. If she hadn't been there, we wouldn't have realized anything had happened until after work. This team has been there with us from the start with our pup. They are professional but also personal- a hard combination to find. If you're looking for a dog walking/sitting/caring team, you've come to the right place! The love, respect and kindness these two have for animals (and humans!) is infinite. We're so lucky to have found them."
