FAQ

• What will happen on the day my dog is walked?

Your dog will be picked up from your home, at the agreed time, and transported to the area we will be walking.
We may make other stops along the way to pick up other dogs, but will organise our time so that your dog is only travelling for as little time as possible.
When we reach our destination your dog will be walked for the agreed time.
Your dogs walk will NOT be calculated from pick up, but will be started when the walk does, ensuring your dog gets the correct amount of exercise.
After the walk your dog will be offered water before travelling back home.
Once your dog arrives home, he will be toweled off, if needed, and left in a comfortable state with clean fresh water.

• What area do you cover?

For dog walking and house visits/sitting, we work within Auchleven/Premnay, roughly covering the Insch area.
For house sitting, where we are expect to stay onsite, we can travel further.

• My dog isn't very good with other dogs. Can he be walked alone?

Of course!
There is obviously a higher rate for this service.
We can also help your dog to socialise, if you desire, by walking them in a controlled environment, with one of our own dogs.

• My dog recalls well, except when they see another dog or animal. Will you let them off the lead?

Not in a public area, no.
We have onsite facilities for off lead exercise for dogs like this.

We are happy to help you correct your dogs recall issues if desired. Please contact us for more details.

At the moment we are not licensed to board dogs. If there is sufficient interest though, we will definitely be looking into home boarding (that is, boarding in a home environment and not in kennels), so let us know!

We can arrange to look after your dog or pet in their own home. Please contact us to discuss your particular requirements.

• I have animals other than dogs. Do you offer services for them?

Yes! If you go away and need someone to check in on your cat or small animal, we can arrange that. Feeding, watering, cage cleaning, litter box emptying and other duties can be performed. We can also visit twice a day to let out and put away your hens.

We both have extensive experience of working with large animals, including horses ( and other equids), cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas and pigs. All services are tailor made for  your requirements.
