We currently only service the west-side of South Boston between West 4th Street and West 9th street. (West Broadway to Old Colony Ave)

We are open from Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm.

Yes - We walk all types of dog breeds. Big or small, energetic or timid. We pair your dog into the right group based on its size and temperament.

Dog walks are typically 45-minutes in length. In extreme weather conditions, we may shorten the walks down to 20-30 minutes.

We typically walk the dogs in a mile-long circle around the streets of South Boston., finding lots of grassy wooded areas to stop along the way. We'll occasionally let the dogs off-leash in designated dog parks areas if one is nearby.

The maximum number of dogs we walk is 6 at a time.

With your approval, we may try introducing your dog to other dogs slowly. Many dogs adjust pretty well to a pack-walking routine after only a few weeks. If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or isn't responding well, we do offer individual solo walks for an additional +$10 per walk.

Yes - We do offer quick walks for the same rate as a traditional walk. We'll take extra good care and make sure they have ample time to get some fresh air and use the bathroom.

We do not typically recommend the use of a harness unless it fits perfectly snug and securely. We instead recommend using slip leads or well-fitted collars. If a customer prefers to use a harness, the customer responsible for making sure the harness fits properly. We are not responsible for any dog who escapes as a result of wiggling out of an improperly fitted harness.

At this time, we do not offer weekend walks or overnight pet sitting. Our walkers have requested the weekends off in order to rest their legs and recharge. As you could imagine, dog walking can be a very strenuous job.

There are several local trainers we can refer you to. Contact us for more information :)

First we get in contact via email or telephone, then we schedule a time to meet in-person for a dog meet-and-greet. After a brief initial introduction and consultation, we will exchange a few forms to sign and a copy of your keys (if applicable). Walks can begin as early as next day!

The easiest way to schedule a walk is to text John directly at 860-552-9415, or email him at john.gordon@uconn.edu.

Yes! We have many customers who work from home yet are still very eager for walks. If possible, have the dog collar or harness ready for when we arrive. We'll send you a 2-minute text alert before our arrival, or ring the doorbell if preferred.

You can schedule a walk anytime! Preferably 24-72 hours in advance. But we are always able to accept last-minute requests if need be. Most clients will text us their schedule for the upcoming week on Sunday evening.

No - We do not typically cancel walks in bad weather. A light to moderate rain or snow shower is to be expected from time to time. In extreme severe weather situations; such as a blizzard, torrential downpour, or lightning, we may need to delay or cancel walks for the safety of the dogs and walker.

We accept all Credit/Debit Cards, Venmo, Apple Pay, Zelle, Cash or Check

We use a variety of (secret) techniques. Most of which are simply distractions to keep the dogs engaged and looking one direction towards the camera. We use a variety of things from treats, to toys, to sound making devices :)

We've been in business since 2015.

Yes! We are fully-insured. Coverage includes vet bill reimbursement in case of an accident.
