Each walk is tailored to your dog’s needs and personality. We’ll get the rundown of your pup’s routine at our initial interview so we can provide your dog with the best possible walking experience each day.

Whenever possible, if you are a regular walking client, we assign your regular dog walker or substitute walker to your vacation care. When this is not possible, the new walker will meet you and your pet prior to leaving. Please note that due to our small staff, we have limited availability for house sitting. Regular walking clients receive preference. Early reservations are encouraged, and we may charge a cancellation fee during busy times. Walkers will check in via phone, text or email while you are away. We ask that you contact your walker when you return, or your walker will come back to check on your pet and you will be charged for an additional walk.
A 50% Deposit is required at the start of service for any vacation care over $200.
