Services & Rates

Private walks- Hours of operation 9:00am- 5:00pm. The price of a walk is determined by your location, the duration, and the number of dogs joining the walk. Walks start at $18. An extra fee will be applied to weekend walks, holidays, and walks before 9:00am and after 5:00pm. Walks on major holidays (Christmas day, Thanksgiving day, New Year's Day) cost double.

Drop-ins- Drop-ins are 20-30- minute visits during hours of operation and are dedicated to potty breaks, feedings, and/ or play time. The price of a drop-in is determined by your location and the number of pets in attendance. Drop-ins start at $15. An extra fee will be applied to weekend visits, holidays, and visits before 9:00am and after 5:00pm. Drop-ins on major holidays (Christmas Day, Thanksgiving day, New Year's Day) cost double.

Sitting- Overnight sittings are to take place at the pet owner's residence. The price of an overnight sitting is determined by the number of pets, the number of walks required, and any other special needs or requests. Sittings start at $75/ night. An extra fee will be applied to major holidays.

Boarding- Overnight boardings are to take place at my home in the Daly City (I relocated in 2024). Located in a house with a fenced-in yard surrounded by hills and parks, your dog is guaranteed to have a paw-some time! Your dog(s) must be dog- and people-friendly, male dogs must be fixed! If I decide against boarding your pet(s), I will provide an overnight sitting instead. Capacity for a boarding is limited to 2 customers at a time. The price of an overnight boarding is determined by the number of dogs staying, the number of walks required. Boardings start at $85/ night. An extra fee will be applied to major holidays.

Policies

All dogs MUST BE up to date with vaccinations and flea and tick preventatives.
Walks on weekends and holidays are requested to be scheduled at least five days in advance. An extra charge will be applied.

There will be no guarantee of availability at your desired walk time. My schedule is arranged on a first come, first served basis, but I do my absolute best to accommodate all customers!

  • Weekday walks must be a consistent schedule of a minimum of 2 walks/ week.
  • Please schedule or cancel walks and drop-ins at least 24 hours in advance. YOU WILL BE CHARGED for this service if not cancelled with enough notice.
  • Please schedule or cancel sittings and boardings at least 1 week in advance. A 25% nonrefundable deposit will be taken upon scheduling a sitting/ boarding, which you will forfeit if the service is cancelled with little to no notice. (See below)

MEET AND GREET— All new pups are required to participate in an in-home meet and greet. I ask that this take place in your home to assess a dog’s reaction to a new person entering the home.

END OF SERVICE— If you wish to end your services, you will need to provide at least two weeks notice to allow time to fill your space. Failure to do so will result in either of the following: two weeks of regularly scheduled physical walks OR two weeks of pay for regularly scheduled walks.

SOCIAL MEDIA— Photographs and videos will be taken of your pet(s)! By using my services, you are agreeing to have these images shared on my website gallery, Yelp, and/ or Instagram.

Important Payment Information

Payments are currently only being taken electronically via a businessVenmo account. I send requests at the end of each week (Fridays) at 5PM.

Payments for sittings and boardings will be taken at the end of the service. If need be, I require that these services be cancelled with a minimum of 48-hours notice before the scheduled service. A 25% deposit will be taken. You will forfeit this deposit if a cancellation is made within less than a 48-hour notice.
