FAQ's

Q: How many dogs do you walk at the same time?
A: I believe dogs tend to have most fun (and exercise) when they interact with other dogs. While I am insured to take out larger groups, typically groups of 3 or 4 are taken out in safe surroundings. I carefully select each group to ensure compatibility

A:  Yes. As long as I can find a suitable time for your dog. All services can be individually tailored
