New: Optional Daily Dog-Walking
Is your dog used to being walked daily? Did you know that when being boarding, dogs sometimes play a lot with other dogs present, while at other times they don't play much at all? It's true -- we see this varying level of daily physical activity all the time while boarding dogs! If you want to ensure your dog(s) get their normal daily walking in, we can now offer that!
Beginning in 2024, we are offering daily dog-walking for your dog(s) while they stay with us for an added fee -- up to two 1/2-mile walks per day (one in the morning and/or one in the evening). If you'd like your dog(s) to be walked, simply indicate so on your Boarding Information Sheet (which we'll provide once we've confirmed their upcoming boarding dates with you). You can indicate "0", "1" or "2" walks per day. For each walk, the fee will be $5.00 per dog per walk (so, for example, if you have one dog that you want walked twice in a day, that would be $10 extra ($5 * 1 dog * 2 walks) for that day; if you have two dogs that you want walked once per day, that would be $10 extra ($5 * 2 dogs * 1 walk) for that day). We will notify you on the last day of their stay how many walks were completed and add the extra fee to your boarding total.
Dog-Walking Limitations:
The primary dog-walker will be my husband, Dan, who is looking for incentives to get out and walk in the mornings and/or evenings. He enjoys walking our dogs, but also realizes some dog owners who are boarding with us would like to have their dogs walked daily also. (Me? I'll be at our home watching over our dogs and any other visiting dogs who aren't signed up for daily walks (or who aren't being walked at the same time as yours.)
From time-to-time, various conditions or situations may present themselves that will prevent dog walks from taking place, including:
-
Weather (excessive cold or heat, rain, icy conditions and snow (when sidewalk & driveway shoveling is required instead))
-
Work (Dan sometimes must go in early to work, and sometimes works too late to walk after work)
-
Illness or injury, of course.
