Our Services

Our mission - To take superb care of you, your pets, and your home.

This is how we do it:

Dog Walks Starting at $30

Private and customized to your pup’s individual needs, it can be a sniff-dominant stroll, structured walk (approximately 20-minute mile pace), or a more strenuous exercise option. It’s all about your fur-kid and is only open to pups from the same household. Walks occur in your neighborhood and the surrounding areas.

  • 30, 45, or 60-minute options. Set it and forget it as a recurring schedule (requires a minimum of three days per week) or call us on-demand (for additional fee).
  • During each walk, time is taken to ensure fresh water is available and treats are left (if allowed). If your pup is on a recurring schedule, our walkers will also wash all pet bowls and containers once per week.
  • As a courtesy, mail and packages are brought in (whenever possible) and lights are flipped on (especially when daylight is shorter). Also, an overall safety check is performed to ensure nothing is out of the ordinary.
  • Electronic reports are texted to you at the beginning of and after every walk.
