How Our Dog Walking Works
We collect your dog from home, take them on their walk, then return them safely, towel-dried if needed. Walks last one hour, excluding collection and drop-off.
New clients are asked to be home on the first day so we can make sure everything goes smoothly. If that’s not possible, we can arrange key collection or drop-off through your building’s concierge or at our office.
