Do you have any breed, age, or weight restrictions?
I welcome pets of all breeds, ages, and sizes, as long as they are a good match for my services and can be handled safely.
​
Before booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s temperament, behavior, energy level, and any special needs. This helps me ensure I can provide the safest and most comfortable experience for everyone involved.
​
For dogs that are very large, highly energetic, or require specialized handling (such as leash reactivity or medical needs), we’ll discuss details during the meet-and-greet to make sure I’m the right fit. If I ever feel a pet needs a different level of care, I’ll be honest and help point you in the right direction.
Are you licensed, insured, and certified?
Yes. I have a Washington State business license with a city of Bellingham endorsement, general pet sitter/dog walker liability insurance, and I am pet first aid and CPR certified.
Will my dog be walked alone or with others?
Unless otherwise discussed, all walks are one-on-one to ensure safety and personalized attention.
Do you administer medications?
Yes, I can administer most medications during home visits, including oral and topical treatments. Please provide clear, written instructions in advance.
What if there's an emergency?
In case of an emergency, I will contact you immediately and follow your preferred vet and emergency instructions. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority.
Do you work holidays?
Yes, I am available on most holidays. Please note a $50 surcharge will apply during New Year's Eve & Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve & Day. Please contact me to discuss booking.
