Our services
Dog Walking
We will take your dog for walks at a time that is convenient for you. We can walk your dog for as little as a 15 minute bathroom break or as long as a 1 hour walk.
Dog Sitting
We can watch your dog while you are away, either for a few hours or for several days. We will provide your dog with food, water, exercise, love, and companionship.
Dog Boarding
We can board your dog in our home-like environment, where pups can play, relax, and even hang out on the couch (if that's something you also allow at home).
Dog Training
Our trainers boast over 20 years of experience, having trained all types of breeds and sizes, from police dogs to small breeds. They are equipped to tackle any behavioral issues you may face and help you transform your dog.
Benefits for dogs and their owners
Regular exercise
Our team will provide a fun and stimulating exercise for your dog as they need it to stay healthy and happy.
Mental stimulation
Sniffing around and exploring places during a walk is a great way for dogs to be mentally stimulated and we make sure to give them plenty of that.
Socialization
Walking with other dogs can help them socialize and learn how to interact with others directly from their canine friends. We also offer solo walks if that is preferable.
Peace of mind
Knowing that your dog is being well cared for by other pet lovers while you are away, at work, or doing any other activity. We treat each pup as our own.
More time
We take pride in helping busy pet parents have more free time to take care of other important things in their life while we are caring for their precious four legged family member.
Lots of cuddles
We are serious about how much we love dogs so cuddles should be expected! đ
