One place i would check out for reviews of dog businesses at this point is CITYSEARCH.COM

I ADVERTISE there myself, and my clients can post reviews...it's a good place to find a reputable walker who is growing their business and responsible..

It doesn't mean that you can't find a person with a very small local business who is also responsible..it's just not as time consuming if you do it via the web

 

I have heard good things about Mary Doggins

Good Luck!
