Services & Rates
It's difficult to put a price on peace of mind. Giv-a-Dog-a-Walk offers flexible and creative solutions to ensure that your pet's needs are met. If you require a service not listed here, let us create a custom plan that makes your pet (and you!) happy.
Giv-a-Dog-a-Walk begins any new relationship with a FREE in-home consultation. The visit typically lasts no more than an hour and is designed to get acquainted with you and your pet, gather detailed information on caring for your pet and home, and to review our services and rates. We, in turn, provide you with glowing references and proof of insurance and bonding.
Once service dates and schedule are agreed upon, we anticipate receiving a set of house keys and your signed service agreement which outlines your pet's health history, emergency contact information and full details of the service being provided.
All services are based on availability, so planning ahead is strongly encouraged and is the best way to guarantee your service.
