"In-home pet care is great for dogs that do not get along with other dogs, pets with special needs, pets that don’t do well driving in the car and pets that have concerns that prevent them from being able to be excepted into boarding facilities.” –Rachelle Proulx-R&C owner
Why should I hire a dog walker?
Your Dog's Health
Leaving your pup locked inside all day can be harmful to your pet's urinary and digestive systems. Dogs who are trained to hold themselves until they are outside need to be let out regularly to relieve themselves. Giving them a break midday while you are at work will help to prevent health problems that are caused by holding urine and excrement too long. Hire a dog walker and your pup's body will thank you.
Needed Exercise
We all need exercise to keep our bodies fit and trim. Dogs also need exercise in the form of walks and playtime. A young active dog should be walked regularly 3-4 times a day to maintain a healthy weight. A fit dog is a happy dog!
Improves Behavior
Walks help our dogs keep balanced by running out their excess energy. A structured exercise like walking helps your dog to be a follower rather than a dominant leader. Dominance in dogs can lead to behavior problems like pulling, jumping and even biting. When the dog learns to follow rather than lead, often those problems will go away in time.
Reduction of stress and anxiety
When pet parents are away it can be a stressful and confusing time for pets. Taking your pets away from their home to stay at a new environment can add to your pet’s confusion and stress. Our pet sitters come to your home to reduce your pet’s stress and confusion. A dog walker gives your pet companionship, love and attention while you are away.
Convenient
No need to come home on your lunch break to walk your dog. We will walk your dog and watch over your pets anytime you are away. We offer daily walks, short-term vacation pet sits and long-term services. Anytime you leave your home you can be confident that a trained professional will be there to take care of your loved ones.
How do I get my pets started with a pet sitter?
Just give me a call or send me an email at least a week before you want service to begin. We will set up a time to meet with you and your pet in your home. Your pet sitter will familiarize herself with your pets and get to know their needs. During the meet and greet we will talk about your pet’s care and special needs.
