Frequently Asked Questions

WHich areas do you provide a service to?

I pick up dogs primarily within about 10 minutes drive from Brunswick. Most clients are in Brunswick, West Brunswick or East Brunswick.

DO WE NEED TO MEET UP BEFORE YOU WALK OR SIT MY DOG?

I do like to meet your dog before our first walk so they will feel comfortable to come out with me. At a first meeting you can tell me more about your dog’s personality, their history, known commands and level of recall etc. If it’s not practical to set up a face to face meeting however, we can arrange a time to chat on the phone.

Please visit the Services & Bookings page to arrange a call or meet.

How does group dog walking work?

I consider your pooch’s personality, size and behaviours, then match them with likeminded playmates I think they'll love. I schedule dogs into group sessions based on their personalities and locations. I’ll collect your dog from home, take them on an adventure and return them home afterwards. I also post to our Instagram so you can see what your pups been up to!

Does my dog need to be trained?

Your dog doesn't need to be completely trained, but they need some basic obedience and social skills. Most dogs are walked largely off-leash, usually in local parks, around other dog owners and people. For everyone’s safety, I am mindful to only bring dogs with the following skills into this environment:

  • Off-leash recall (i.e. they return on command)

  • Walking well on leash (some excited pulling can be managed but this can't be extreme)

  • Basic dog socialisation manners, such as greeting other dogs nicely

  • Basic human interaction manners (e.g. minimal jumping up on people)
