Happy Testimonials From Our Clients

"Our dogs Gracie and Tucker love joining their friends for hikes with Inez every week. The exercise helps our 14 year old retriever mix maintain her health and vitality and our 4 year old Lab burn up some of his boundless energy. Inez is extremely conscientious about the well-being of all the dogs in her care, so we never worry about Gracie and Tucker being safe when they’re with her. Inez and Strutt Your Mutt are awesome!!!"

"My family and I were challenged. With a busy job and school schedules, we were faced with the possibility of letting our lab puppy languish at home. Hours without real exercise and the possibility of creating "real" mischief did not appeal to any of us. Our problem was solved by discovering Inez Hagen. She first arrived at our home to interview us and our dog. She reassured us that our dog would be with other appropriately socialized dogs. She made us feel as though our dog "Winston" mattered to her. Winston loves to go with her - his eagerness is apparent as he joyfully jumps into her truck for a day of exercise. Inez is absolutely reliable and committed to her dogs. She has cared for Winston overnight and provided more long term care. Winston has always arrived home in wonderful condition - a happy tired dog. I believe Inez provides truly remarkable care to my dog and would recommend them to anyone for their dog care without reservation."

"Nothing makes my dogs happier than spending time with Inez. And nothing makes me happier than seeing how joyful they are when Inez drops them off -- especially Gracie. For 30 years, I've adopted special needs dogs, but Gracie was clearly out of my league. Her terrible anxiety, inability to trust people and unpredictability pushed me to the point where I was about to return her to the pound. And then we found Inez. The transformation that has occurred since Gracie began spending three days a week with Inez has been remarkable. Inez isn't just a dog walker, pack leader, or trail guide. She's also a healer of the spirit -- and what a beautiful gift that is for all of us."

"I was lucky enough to find Inez right after I adopted Riley two years ago. While he is a perfect dog in every way, he is a tad neurotic, and not fond of regular kennels. He has stayed with her on Holidays and goes on a group hike every week with his dog buddies. I have 100 % confidence in Inez and know that when she's watching Riley, she treats him as one of her own. I trust that she would do exactly what I would do in any situation. Inez is truly a dog person, who loves them as much as they love her. She also understands what they need, and has enchanted them so they all get along. Inez is very responsible and thoughtful, and even wipes off his muddy paws.

The best part of having him go on his weekly hike is that a tired dog is a good dog!"

"Yellow Lab Rosie, and Black Lab Casey have an acute sense of time. Odd, since neither wear a watch. Although at 5:55am and 4:45pm they both begin the ritual of reminding me that mealtime is quickly approaching and I'd better be seriously considering pouring those kibbles. Neither, mind you, have missed a meal in their 12 and 7 years of ruling our roost. Several months ago they added a few more time zones to their internal clock systems. They seemed to know within a few minutes when the Strutt Your Mutt Mobile would arrive to pick up the next door neighbor dogs, Tucker and Gracie. They watched with great interest as Inez would go into the house, retrieve the dogs, invite them to jump into her SUV, then watch as the car would roll away with Tucker and Gracie inside. Upon their return, the same routine - Casey and Rosie watched intently. After a few weeks of this the quiet watching turned into whining and gazing out the window with that "longing" look in their eyes. I'm sure they had no idea where the neighbors were going, but they surely would like to be going to!

Needless to say, this Mom is unable to deny her Labs anything. Even though I try to get them out to off leash hike on trails a couple of days a week, I asked if Inez would be kind enough to allow my two to join her Wednesday group. They have been going for three weeks now and I must report that they are happier than ever and have found that the destinations visited are even better than they imagined when they watched Tucker and Gracie go. We are all very happy and fully appreciate the TLC given to all the dogs by Inez! She is the best! Many thanks!"
