Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our dog walking, pet sitting, and puppy visitations services.
If you do not find your answer here please contact us.
Please move the crate closer to the front door. Limits how far we have to go in your home to get your dog.
We ask that you have your dog be ready (harness or any other training device you use on) and at the front door (if possible) otherwise, I will call your dog to the door and off we go.
If doable (weather pending) we will take your puppy outside for the visit. Should the weather not be cooperating we will keep the visit close to the front door to limit the amount of movement in your home. If possible, leave the front door open to allow flow of air.
Before Covid-19 I always used my own leashes and will continue to do so. Limits what I touch of yours. For the dogs harness or any other items your dog wears I will be sure to wipe it down. But please do so yourself if that makes you feel more comfortable.
Yes, we will make sure to wipe down surfaces in the car everyday to be sure no germs are lingering around.
We do a call or video call first, if we feel this is a good match, I will come to your house where we can officially meet OUTSIDE, while keeping a 6ft distance from one another (ie: your front yard). Please bring your adorable pup with you.
Yes, we always have on hand a mask, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. When we can, we always wash our hands thoroughly.
We will do everything we can to protect ourselves and you but please make sure to take safety measures that make you feel comfortable when you return home (i.e.: wipe door handle, dogs gear, etc.). If we have Covid-19, think we have it, or have related symptoms, dog care will immediately stop till we are sure everyone is healthy.
Please have an extra towel on top of the crate and we can change it up if necessary
Yes, either a key or door code. You can either give it when we have our meet & greet or on the first day of service, when I pick up your dog.
Our preference is either by cheque or Interac e-transfer.
You can pay on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This is something we can finalize on signing of a contract.
Yes, we are insured and bonded with Canadian Pet Pro and Verge Insurance Brokers Ltd.
We walk between 4-5 dogs per group. We like to keep it small so each dog gets the right amount of attention.
We have set dog walking areas and trails. Please take a look at the dog walking services for more details.
Sometimes. They are not my first choice. It will depend on many factors such as, how many dogs are at the park, your dogs recall ability (many dogs parks are not fully fenced) and dangers that may arise. I understand that dog parks can be controversial. I will always be responsible and respectful when out with your dogs. Supervision will always be maintained, and dogs will be called back throughout their play to reinforce recall.
Please make sure to leave a towel and we will do our best to clean your dogs paws and excess water on your dog
We will still walk your dog. However, we may shorten the walk. We will gauge the situation on that day.
Due to the nature of our small groups and steady schedule, I will do my best to accommodate switching days and walk add ons. Cancellations made the day of will be charged the full walk. Please cancel the night before to avoid a charge.
Yes, the dogs will be going in Meg’s car. The dogs may be seat belted in. I always work with the dogs to ensure there are car manners. We even play some pretty good podcasts and music!
That comes down to the intersection of both your dogs and my schedule. The following are the approximate times I perform dog walks: 10:30am – 11:30am, 12:15pm – 1:15pm. These are approximate times and will vary on a daily basis.
Generally speaking, we do not offer this service. However, if you are an existing client and you are in a bind and we are available, we may be able to work something out. This is on a case by case basis.
At this time, unfortunately we do not offer private dog walks.
