All of the services listed under general pet sitting
Regular exercise to ensure good physical and mental health
Exercise improves a dog's muscle tone
Running and playing can tire a dog so he is less likely to misbehave
Important socialization for raising well-adjusted dogs
Daily mid-day visits for puppies help maintain a consistent housebreaking schedule
Elderly and adult dogs need bathroom breaks too
Crate trained puppies need to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training and socialization. Over-crating and under exercising can result in a hyperactive, under-socialized dog
Walking provides routine practice for using basic commands such as "heel", "sit", "stay", and "come". (Dog walking is NOT a replacement for proper basic obedience training. We only support the dog's established training through repetition.)
A helping hand when you have a busy schedule
No guilt at having a busy schedule
Adequate exercise can improve a dog's behavior in the home
Your dog may actually want to relax WITH you when you come home
Relieves your concerns about leaving your dog crated
