How does your dog walking/exercising service work?
Of course dogs need exercise everyday to maintain their health, but most need a walk so that they don't become bored or anxious.  During this 30-minute visit, we will refresh your dogs' water, feed them treats, and take them on a brisk walk.  A leash is required at all times!  For the safety of your pets, we will only service one home at a time!  If you have more than one dog, we will walk them together unless otherwise requested.

What happens during a typical visit to my home and how long will it last? 
We will shower your pets with one-on-one attention, prepare their meals, supply them with fresh water, scoop the litter box, provide indoor or outdoor exercise, brush them, administer medication, give your home that lived-in look, retrieve your mail, water your plants, and complete a detailed pet report.  A standard visit lasts approximately 30 minutes depending on your pets' needs.
