Puppies

If you are working, traveling or just need care for 

your puppy for a few hours, ask about our options.


We offer walks and daycare and boarding 

depending on age and level of potty training.


Packages can be tailored to your puppy's specific

needs (number of visits and preferred time of day).


Rates between 10am-4pm range from $16 to $25 

for a 15 to 20 minute visit and are based on 

the total visits per month. 


Senior pups | Pets with special needs

Visits, potty breaks and walks often need to be 

more frequent, shorter, and within a specific 

time frame. 

We can design a schedule for your pet's needs.

Messaging and Reporting:

Each visit, we let you know our ETA,

and send a photo when we arrive. 

After our visit, we send photos with a 

message about your pets good time. 

We also include potty information, and 

confirm that your directions were carried 

out (feeding, meds, crating, alarm, etc).

ever notice anything that seems out of 

the ordinary or anything of concern with 

your pet or home.


Scheduling:

The most important thing is your pet's comfort. 

We work with you to establish a schedule 

with a targeted time. This time should be based 

on the last time you walked your pet and

when you plan to return home.

Pet Care Check List

What we need to know to provide the best care for your pet

Whether we are boarding, providing pet sit visits 

or day care or giving your pup daily walks, 

your pet has a unique personality, their own 

routine and may require special care such as 

an epi-pen for allergies, daily supplements, or 

medication prescribed for short term or daily use.

Every new client is sent our

pet care check list so we have documentation 

and background information before our first visit. 

Some of the requested info is below.

Pet Health

There are a few things that we need 

to ensure your pet's health and well being 

- vet contact information

- authorization to seek treatment for your pet

- and vet records including up to date 

vaccinations, health concerns, any special care 

required, any allergies or medications and dosage 

if you would like us to administer to your pet.

Behavior

Some of the information we need:

  • potty routine, level of potty training or tendency to mark; 
  • does your pet try to eat everything it finds on the ground
  • if your pet chews on furniture or shoes
  • behavior with other dogs/humans
  • any negative triggers such as certain dog breeds, puppies, children, or items on wheels like scooters or bikes; 
  • fear of loud noises or storms and if meds are necessary
  • leash aggression
  • what leash and collar are used
  • challenges while walking them such as pulling, lunging at other dogs, chasing squirrels etc.
  • are they crated or left free to roam
  • For pet sit visits for your small pets: hiding spots, potential for escape, any nervous or aggressive behavior
