FAQs

How does it all work? Do I drop off my dog to you?

I provide a personalized dog walking service where I drive around town to pick up each dog from their home. Once I have all the dogs, I take them to a nearby neighborhood or park where they can enjoy a fun, safe walk and get the exercise they need. Afterward, I drive them back home, ensuring each dog is safely returned to their own doorstep. This service allows each dog to experience different surroundings while enjoying a walk with other dogs.

How long are the walks?

All on leash pack walks are 60 minutes. Drop in potty breaks range from 5-15 minutes.

Do you offer solo walks?

At this time, I only offer group walks, meaning your dog will be walked alongside other dogs. While I don't offer solo walks, I do provide potty breaks, which are the closest option to a solo experience. During a potty break, your dog will have a brief, one-on-one outing for bathroom time, ensuring they get the attention and care they need without other dogs around.

Do you walk in all weather conditions?

I walk dogs in almost all weather conditions, but for extreme weather (like heavy snow or thunderstorms), I will likely cancel all scheduled walks. During the summer months, I may shorten the walk or spend a significant portion of the 60-minute walk resting in the shade to keep the dogs cool and comfortable. The health and well-being of your dog are my top priority, so I adjust the walk as needed to prevent overheating to ensure their safety.

What neighborhoods do you service?

I service NE & SE Portland. Mostly Irvington, Cully, Buckman, Sunnyside, Montavilla, & Rose City Park. More detailed maps can be found on my Instagram highlights.

How does dog sitting work? Do you stay at my house?

Dog sitting is typically done in my home, but I’m happy to offer in-home care if your dogs size, energy level, or special needs require it. Please note that I do have a personal dog of my own that will most likely need to join the slumber party. When staying at your home I would also take on extra responsibilities like collecting the mail, watering plants, taking out the trash, etc. Pickup/drop off times for your dog are flexible to suit your schedule.

How & when can I get started?

Once I receive your contact form, I’ll be in touch to schedule a meet & greet. Once everything is approved, we’ll confirm the schedule, and your dog will be ready for their walks or care as soon as you need!

What does the meet & greet entail? Does it cost anything?

I offer a free meet & greet for first time clients, which only needs to be done once. During this meeting, we'll go over all the important details about your dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions. I’ll then be able to go over everything you need to know, including payment details, a breakdown on how everything works, and my flexible scheduling options. This is a great time to ask questions and make sure I’m the perfect fit for your pet’s needs! It's also a chance for your dog to familiarize themselves with me, so they can feel comfortable when I arrive for walks and/or any dog sitting services in the future. This helps ensure that both you and your dog are confident and happy with the service moving forward.
