Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a dog get walked each day?

Most healthy adult dogs do well with a daily 20 to 30 minute walk. Puppies and high energy breeds often need shorter, more frequent walks.

Should pet parents tip a dog walker or sitter?

Tipping stays optional, but many pet parents tip 10 to 25 percent for great care. A bigger holiday tip is common for a long term walker.

What should a pet parent ask before hiring a sitter?

Ask if the sitter carries insurance and bonding. Also ask how they handle a pet emergency.

Can a sitter give a pet medication during a visit?

Many trained sitters can give oral medication if you explain the dosage. Confirm this policy before you book, since it varies by provider.

How far ahead should a pet parent book a sitter?

Good sitters fill up fast around holidays and busy travel seasons. Booking a few weeks early helps you get the time slot you need.
