"Of course we give Danielle & Chris 5 Stars! Their impeccable service starts with their approach. They come to our house for a visit with not just a smile on their face, but a great positive energy in their demeanor. Roenick hears the doorbell and immediately charges--I believe he knows what time it is and cannot wait. They clearly have a passion for dogs, and truly cares about  the dogs they care for. Within a week, Danielle figured out Roenick's personality. They have a genuine interest in our dog; they advise us if there is something new or different in his behavior or health. They are full of sound advise and helpful hints. Roenick has become a calmer, more balanced, and obedient dog (no more pulling on leash!) and an all around better looking dog. I know it's cliche to say this, but we keep thinking; Why didn't we do this earlier?"

"Danielle is one of the best things to ever happen to our little guy (and us). She takes care of her "buddies" as if they were her own and her love for them is evident. When we first found out that she was moving, I literally cried. I couldn't imagine finding anyone to care for or love Wilson as much as she did. Danielle never backed off of her devotion in making sure that his walks were fun and diverse without sacrificing careful supervision. We looked forward to reading her fun notes when we got home from work about their daily adventures and all the humans and furry friends that they met along the way. We would even ask her to come on our days off because we knew how much our pup loved and looked forward to her visits. He would jump in the air and run around in circles the minute she walked through the door. Danielle was always timely, responsible and went over and beyond what was expected of her. We firmly believe that she played an integral role in shaping Wilson into the social, lovable, well-behaved guy he is today. PLEASE GET THIS AMAZING WOMAN AND DOG WALKER INTO YOU AND YOUR DOGS' LIFE. You won't regret it.

"I've been fortunate to have Danielle and Chris DeChant love on my Golden Retriever Lily for over three years. When I went shopping for a dog walking service I was looking for a company I could trust. They would have access to my home and be interacting with my dear companion. They never challenged that trust. My work hours required flexibility. They always, without fail, worked with me to provide Lily an opportunity to get exercise and have a bathroom break. They structured their business to continue service during personal vacations. Of course, the rates needed to be reasonable, and they were. Danielle & Chris kept accurate accounting and fees were not an issue.

In short, I highly recommend Danielle and Chris to care for your four legged family member. They truly love dogs and have excellent skills and judgement. I'm confidant your dog(s) will be well cared for and you will get the peace of mind you seek while away from home. They're far more than just "dog walkers"--they became friends. Lily and I will always have fond memories of our experiences with Danielle & Chris."

"It is my pleasure to provide a letter of reference for Mrs. Danielle DeChant and her dog-walking service, “DK9 Dog Walking”. Danielle’s mission, and outstanding customer service, are simply the best of the best.
I hired Danielle in November, 2013, after the recent adoption of a rescue Great Pyrenees, Wyatt. His history and training were a mystery, and his behavior was vetted only to the best of the rescue organization’s ability. Danielle was enthusiastic about Wyatt, yet realistic about the challenges they could face on daily walks together. She was able to reinforce the training he had (or his inherent good manners!) and their walks and belly rub sessions have always been a great source of exercise, joy and companionship for our big boy. My confidence is Danielle’s ability was a strong reason for the adoption of our 2nd Great Pyrenees, and Danielle’s affection and dedication to them both has blessed our family.

In addition to the dog walks, I have always felt 100% secure knowing that the safety of my dogs and my home were paramount to Danielle, and she steadfastly adhered to her security policies and transparent communication plan with us regarding the dogs’ health, behavior as well as anything going on at the house. She was able to handle an emergency vet visit while I was out of town with ease and kept this “dog momma” from losing her mind to anxiety and worry!

Knowing that my dogs are safe, fed, exercised and loved upon each day is peace of mind and joy to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Danielle and DK9DogWalking as the best pick for you and your fur-family."
