Dog Walking FAQ
Cat Sitting FAQ
Q - I want to set up walks for my dog. Now what?
A - Once you book walks I will set up an appointment to meet you and your dog(s) and pick up a key. At this meeting, you will be asked to fill out paperwork to assure that your walker knows everything about your dog and their walking style.
***
Q - I would like my dog walked at a specific time each day. Is this possible?
A - Dogs are scheduled in two-hour blocks to allow your walker the flexibility to create an efficient travel route between clients homes. As an example, if your walk is scheduled in an 11am-1pm route, your dog(s) would be walked anytime within that two-hour window. Puppies and senior dogs with time-sensitive needs may be placed in a one hour window if necessary.
