“Walk as if you’re kissing the Earth with your feet.”

Dog Walking Information & Rates:

We walk dogs from 10am-6pm everyday. Later walks are available by request, and staff availability.

Our services include: 30 and 50 minute midday group visits, solo visits for puppies and solo visits for dogs with special needs (if available). We also do evening and weekend visits by request (extra charge). See Rates below…

We focus on small group walks with no more than 3/4 dogs per group. If you have a special needs dog who may need a solo walk or a "Walk & Train", we can evaluate the situation and make a determination. We do this on a case by case basis.

With our dog walking app, You will get daily push notifications when your walker arrives and when the walk is completed. Your dog walker will always send you a note after the walk and you can be in direct communication with them and a manager throughout the day.

Jason and/or a manager is always at work, in the field with our staff to make sure things are smooth sailing!

Leash, collar, harness and towels, Please leave these items close to your apt door and easily seen for your dog-walker everyday. Water bowls should be somewhere we can easily find them. Please see Dog Safety section below for our safety policies.

We do private dog training sessions with clients. check out our dog training page in the main menu.

Scheduling and Cancelation Policy

We ask for a 3 hour time window for all walks, except for puppies.

Clients need to cancel by 8 pm the night before a visit to avoid charge, unless snowstorm or other natural emergency. In such cases cancellation is free.

We can't guarantee same day requests but can usually accommodate. There is a small up charge for same day requests

The Dog-walking App

Once you decide to go with us, we will send you an activation email to set up your account. The app is super easy and user friendly. Check out the app page for more info.

Dog safety is our top priority!

All dogs should have a tight fitting harness and/or collar with dog tags. Prong training collars, gentle leaders and martingale collars are okay instead of a harness, but not in place of a collar with tags.

*We don’t accept loose harnesses, retractable leashes or dogs without tags.

Clients can also supply a small carabiner or safety clip which can attach to both your harness and your collar. We have these also, just ask. Otherwise, All dogs are walked with our back up safety collars.

They make leash clips with a locking mechanism now. This is a nice safety feature as leash clips can fail if they don't lock.

If getting a new harness, please try to get one that goes on from the head down rather than the legs up. The latter is much harder to put on.

Taking the above precautions will drastically improve the safety of your dog.

Keys and Access to Your Apartment

We will need two sets of keys which are labeled with your dog’s name, unless you have a doorman.

Depending on your location, you may have the option to be set up with a secure lockbox for keys. One set of keys will always be in this lockbox for the walker and the other set of keys will be at our office space as a back up.

Door Locks : Our dog-walkers are programmed to lock all door. If there is a specific lock that you don't want locked you must take the action to disable that lock otherwise we can't guarantee that we won't lock it by accident. The easiest solution is to not give us any keys we won’t need. Also, put tape over the locking mechanism, pin or key hole of any locks that are not in use.

Bad weather

If its raining, snowing or freezing, it’s very hard for us to get around and things take a lot longer. Also, we will be out in that bad weather for at least 5 hours. Therefore, we may have to shorten walk times (mostley for long walks) or else we can’t get to all the dogs who are waiting to go out. Of course, if your dog is a puppy or crated during the day we will still give them their full time but it may be half outside and half inside with cuddle session, playtime, towel dry, etc.

Daily Dog Walker

Your pup will most likely have 1-3 consistent dog walkers and 1-2 back up walkers, in case of a scheduling issue. Here are the reasons you may have more than one dog walker:

We are a full service dog walking company and have a lot of dogs on our schedule. Many of our customers have a busy calendar that rapidly changes, which takes a lot of flexibility on our part. We also offer evening walks, weekend walks and pet sitting which requires us to have a large staff.

Most of our dog walkers are students and artists and can’t always work everyday. Staff can get sick, take vacations and occasionally need time off. So, after 12 years of service, I’ve found that this is the best system for running a great dog walking business that can service everyone’s needs.

That being said, If your dog is super skittish with new people we will always try our best to have the most consistency.

Jason and managers are always at work in the field with our staff and with our dog walking app, You will get daily push notifications when your dog walker arrives and when the walk is over. The walker will always send you a note after the walk and you can be in direct communication throughout the day with either your walker or a manager.
