Who is a dog walk for?

A dog walk is best for those who work during the week. Whether it be going into the office or working from home!

We understand how busy your week is with trying to balance work, your family, your health and your pets. Before you know it the week is over and you didn’t get a chance to take your pup out for a walk, again.

Then the guilt sets in! Can you relate? No worries! Do yourself and your pup a favor and book a regular walk with one of our professional dog walkers.

How long do you stay for a visit or walk?

Great question! We are unique in that we do not base our visits on time but rather quality!

Our visits are un-timed. Wait…. What?!?

Yes, our visits are un-timed so this means if Kitty is scared, we will take that extra time to make her feel safe and comfortable. If Bleu is sad because his mom is away, we will sit on the floor and hand feed him.

Or, if it’s a particularly nice day out and your pup is really enjoying their walk, we may take an extra lap. On the other hand, if your pet decides to “redecorate your house” or has an accident we will be sure to spend the extra time to clean things up! No extra charge for our time!

See, we are more focused on your and your pets happiness versus the ticking on the clock.

We strongly encourage all of our clients to keep a lockbox on their property with a key to the home. Another option is by using a door or garage keypad. If this option is used there must be a backup plan to get into the home if the keypad batteries were to die.

How will you update me on visits?

We will always keep you updated through your portal or via the Time To Pet app. You will receive a notification everytime our Pet Care Specialists arrive. Once the visit is completed you will receive a visit repost with a message and pictures. If it is a dog walk, you will also get GPS of their walk!
