Our dog has been with Leslie for 3+ years. To this day, he still pops up in excitement when he hears Leslie open the door. Leslie has been very reliable and clearly cares deeply about all her dogs. Our dog certainly adores her. We are thrilled our dog is getting outside for a good hike every day in almost any weather condition, and he seems to love the time cruising around town in the Jeep before and after his walks as well. We are lucky to have Leslie!

Doggonerunnin’ is the best thing to happen to our little guy. We adopted a shy almost skittish six month old pup who had experienced a number of sad transitions in his young life. Thanks to Leslie, her training and her group hikes, he is now an amazingly well-adjusted “regular” dog. Before finding Leslie, we tried other doggy day cares, day camps, and dog walkers. None of them even came close. He loves his DGR pack (the other dogs in his hiking group) and is so happy to see Leslie when she arrives every day. She is so knowledgeable and cares so much about the dogs and their well-being. She is a real life dog whisperer.

Leslie has been amazing with our dog. We completely trust her when she picks him up to take him on hikes with the other dogs. She voices any concern she may have if she sees something is off with your dog. She is reliable and takes good care of him every time!

Leslie from Doggonerunnin is the heart and soul of our dog walking experience. For over a decade, she’s been a steady, loving presence in our dogs’ lives—helping them age gracefully with care, patience, and a deep personal connection. Her love for dogs is unmistakable; they respond to her with calm, joy, and trust. Whether it’s shifting schedules or managing multiple dogs, she handles it all with grace and precision. Her vehicle is always spotless, her administrative skills are top-notch, and the dogs are always well-behaved around her. One of our favorite touches is the handwritten review she leaves after each hike—a thoughtful glimpse into our dogs’ day that shows just how passionate she is about her work.

We just moved out of the Concord area after having an horrid experience with dogsgonerunnin, and feel comfortable now sharing our experience. We used Leslie’s services for about one month in July/August of 2023 while we worked in Boston as healthcare workers. We have a 45lb, not off-leash trained rescue, whom Leslie assured us she would train to pack walk over time with her group. Our first red flag using Leslie’s services was her constant insistence to answer her random phone calls while we were at work, and while we were under the impression it was an emergency or other questions that could not be answered by text messages, she was calling us to “update” on our dogs progress, which came off mostly as criticism of our training of her. If we missed the call and attempted to arrange a time
