Dog Walking FAQs

Do you walk in the rain?

Yes, we walk in a variety of weather conditions, including rain, cold, and heat. However, your pet’s safety always comes first. Walks may be shortened or adjusted during extreme heat, storms, or unsafe conditions. When needed, we provide indoor enrichment activities instead.

How far do you walk?

Every pet is different! Walk distance depends on your dog’s age, energy level, health, the length of the visit, and weather conditions. We believe walks are about more than distance- sniffing, exploring, and mental enrichment are important parts of a happy walk.

Do you use retractable leashes?

We typically use the leash and equipment provided by you. However, our team carries safety equipment, including Harness Lead harnesses, if we feel a different setup would be safer or more comfortable for your pet.

Your pet’s safety is always our top priority, and we take every precaution to prevent accidental escapes.

Cat Care FAQs

Will you clean litter boxes?

Yes! We scoop litter boxes during every visit and dispose of waste in an outdoor trash receptacle whenever possible.

Can you administer insulin?

Yes. We have team members trained to administer insulin and other pet medications.

Can you find shy cats?

We will always try! We ask about your cat’s favorite hiding spots and routines so we know where to look. However, our goal is never to stress your cat by forcing interaction.

Building trust and helping your cat feel comfortable with us is more important than getting the perfect photo. We respect your cat’s personality and boundaries.

Medication FAQs

Can you give pills?

Yes! Many of our clients rely on us for medication administration. We recommend using a weekly pill organizer labeled by day to help prevent confusion and ensure accurate dosing.

Can you give injections?

Yes. We have team members trained to administer certain injections, including insulin.

Can you give eye drops or ear drops?

Yes! Our team can administer eye drops, ear drops, and other prescribed treatments as instructed by your veterinarian.
