I highly recommend Dog gone walking. The owner walks my 2 Goldens and is absolutely amazing with them. She is very accommodating and extremely wonderful with the dogs.

Lorna has cared for our dog Maisy 3 times when we needed to be out of town. We are new to the area and don't have many connections or friends yet, so Lorna's services were vital to us! Maisy was always cared for & loved on so well and I felt confident that she was in great hands! We received updates & photos each day we were apart which helped ease any anxiety we may have had. I would whole heartedly recommend Lorna's services.

Dog Gone Walking is the absolute best! Lorna is an amazing person. I've known her for years. She is loyal, honest, loving, nurturing and gives 100% to everything she does. She'll care for your baby like it's one of her own. My dogs absolutely love her! They are always so happy and well behaved after being with her. This is quite honestly the easiest review I have ever written!

I have to recommend Lorna Lea who owns Dog Gone Walking here in St Augustine. She has cared for my cat Perdie while on a long vacation and did such an excellent job. She picks up my mail, waters my plants and takes care of my kitty. I cannot recommend her enough.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Lorna and Dog Gone Walking FL. Lorna's team cared for our two small dogs Georgia and Rocco, as if they were her own. Lorna provided pictures of our pets during their stay multiple times throughout the day. The facilities were immaculate; her staff was warm and kept us updated daily on how our pups were doing. We had used larger facilities in the past to board our pets, but felt like we were "just another number". Lorna treated us like family and made us feel safe and comfortable leaving our beloved pets with her. If you are looking for a dependable, caring, well-run place where to board your pets, then Dog Gone Walking FL is your best option in the St. Augustine area.
