"Tamara and Shape Up Your Pup have provided our pup, Huxley, with the best and healthiest possible life a city dog could hope for. Every week when Tamara arrives to pick up our boy he cannot contain his excitement. (He has literally broken his leash trying to greet her when she arrives). On that note: tiring out our dog is no easy feat, but after every hike he arrives back at home happy, safe, and completely tuckered out. It's incredible! As first time and overly-fussy dog owners we are extremely deliberate about who we entrust Huxley to, and we have never once doubted that he is in the most caring and capable hands with Tamara and the Shape Up Your Pup team. Throughout the days when Huxley is hiking we receive photos and videos of his adventures and we can tell he is having an absolute blast. Tamara is extremely reliable and a responsive communicator. Furthermore, she has helped Huxley with his manners and leash training. She is patient and loving, but also firm and consistent. Finally, we are lucky enough to have boarded Huxley with Tamara on multiple occasions and he always has a great time. I highly recommend trying Shape Up Your Pup! After your first experience I assure you you'll be back every week!"

"Tamara is the best! I have a two-year-old golden retriever Luna and she is the biggest fan of Tamara! One day every week she goes crazy when she sees Tamara and just can't wait to hop on a car and go hiking and swimming. I love all the pictures and videos the team sent me. It's the best feeling when you can see your dog having fun without tiring out yourself ;)
We travel a lot, so we've tried dog boarding with Tamara a few times. She is the most caring person I know. My dog is always healthy and happy after I come back from a long trip. She is absolutely trustworthy."

"I've known Tamara over a year now and she's a natural with dogs. Her ability to make dogs feel comfortable and to trust her is amazing. I'm proud to be her hiking assistant and be part of this amazing experience for the dogs. I love being able to get out of the city as much as the dogs do! All the running,swimming,and tail wagging is what makes the best memories with our pack! Tamara is the most responsible,honest,and punctual person I know. I admire her for starting her own dog hiking company and providing NYC dogs with an outlet into nature on the daily. The doggies thank us with hugs and kisses each day, and simply cannot wait to get in the SUV. We do it for the dogs! We make a PAWFECT team!"
