Nice and friendly!

Student always thinks walking dog is easy and it is a Nice time for the student to exercise...being paid....well, it is not...it is all about the dog and the dog safety..... and being able to connect with dogs and manage risks.

Unfortunately , we experienced that this student never ever walk a dog before.....and was not interested to learn.

Also, when you come to pick up the dog, with. bunch of other friend, it only shows the interested is not to be with the dog....

Reply from Maria:

Dear Bee,

First of all, thank you for booking my service. But I really do not understand what your comments and review are based on. The first thing to clarify for you and my potential future clients: nothing happened with your dog--as you have witnessed yourself. I walked Maboul (the dog) back home safely. All safe and sound. I find your review as a wrong accusation as you wrote that I bring a bunch of friends. The fact is: I came with a friend who shows me the place because I am not quite familiar with the address (thanks to my friend) and she left after taking me to Gregory's place. Thus, to be clear: it is not a bunch of friends; it is just a nice friend who helped me not to get lost. I walked the dog alone and again, nothing happened with the dog.

I also do not understand your judgement about my experience of walking the dog. You are not my first client. I had two previous clients and am currently handling a new one. I have dogs too back home. Where does your judgement come from? You already judged me and did not even have the intention to know me.

Not only judgmental and writing the wrong accusation, another important thing to note: I got disrespectful comments from this owner. After judging me of having no experience in doing dog-walking or any other dog services, she said this to me: "well, you better work as a hotel receptionist. That would be better for you. You do not need education or school for that". Seems like she looks down on me as if I am uneducated. I really do not understand what her judgements are based on. If it is not on the basis of hatred in the first place, I don't know where all these rude comments come from.

Thank you, Pawshake team, for contacting me to clarify things and putting my reply here as I am not able to do it myself in my apps or website. I should have written this reply as soon as I got this judgemental negative review. I feel the urge to reply to this review, as it is, once again, a rude and wrong accusation and I think this is the right place to speak for my own justice."

... bad experience, for sure....
