Frequently Asked Questions & What to Expect

1. Is my dog safe in your vehicle?

Absolutely! Our modern vans are equipped with purpose-built dog cages that can accommodate dogs of all sizes. These cages ensure your pet is safe and secure during transit.

2. How do you handle extreme weather conditions, like hot and cold days?

Our vans are fitted with air conditioning systems that include air vents directed towards the dog cages, ensuring your dog stays cool on hot days and comfortable during colder weather.

3. Will my dog come home muddy after a wet walk?

We try our best to clean your dog after wet or muddy walks. Our vans are equipped with a built-in doggy-wash shower, allowing us to rinse off most dirt and mud. We then dry your dog with pet-friendly microfiber towels and finish with a light spritz of dog-friendly cologne so they return home as clean and fresh as possible. When entering your home, our dog walkers will either remove their footwear or wear disposable shoe covers to keep your space tidy.

4. What if my dog runs away while off-lead?

For dogs permitted to be off-lead, we equip them with state-of-the-art GPS trackers. If your dog runs off, we can track their location within seconds via an app, ensuring their safety.

5. What happens if my dog has an accident during the walk?

Our staff are trained in Level 3 Emergency Canine First Aid, and we always carry a fully stocked first aid kit. If an accident occurs, you will be notified immediately. If necessary, we will take your dog to your registered vet or the nearest available one.

6. Will my dog receive treats and water during the walk?

We’ll provide your dog with high-quality treats during the walk if you grant permission. Fresh water is always available to keep them hydrated.

7. Does my dog need to wear a harness?

Yes, we recommend all dogs to wear harnesses for safety and comfort. Unlike collars, which can put pressure on the neck, a properly fitted harness distributes force across the chest and back, reducing the risk of injuries such as tracheal damage or neck strain.

8. How will I receive updates about my dog?

We typically use WhatsApp to send updates, but we can adjust based on your preference. Updates include confirmation that your dog is back home safely, details on whether they’ve wee’d, poo’d, socialised, been cleaned, dried, watered, or fed, and notes on their behaviour. We also share photos of your dog on our social media, but let us know if you prefer not to have their photos posted.

9. How do you keep my house key safe?

We strongly prefer that clients use a lockbox for maximum security and convenience. This allows our team to access your home without needing to store or transport your key. If a lockbox isn’t an option, any key you provide is securely tagged and kept in a safe when not in use. During visits, it remains on a secure key ring with your dog walker at all times. We never store your key together with your address, ensuring complete confidentiality and safety.
