Our Founder has 8+ years of experience with all types of pets, and our team is made up of passionate animal lovers who are all background-checked and trained in handling all types of pets. We’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, reptiles, and small pets.
Absolutely they are! Our team is background-checked, trained in pet first aid, and experienced with different pet behaviours. Whether it’s giving medication, understanding animal behaviour, or keeping everything in check during stressful moments, we know what we’re doing and always put your pet’s safety and comfort first.
We treat your pets like our own, with love, patience, kindness, and professional care. We also send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing, and we follow special instructions all the way, meeting every expectation. We are here to build trust with you and your pets. If your pet has any extra needs or care, we're here to provide it wherever and whenever!
We totally understand that inviting someone into your home is a huge decision. That’s why all our team members at Paws Around the Block are carefully background-checked and chosen for their trustworthiness and maturity. We treat your space with the utmost respect and always let you know who is visiting and exactly when. For even more peace of mind, we have Paws Around the Block Pet Care Insurance, which includes basic liability and lost items coverage. We’ve never had to use it, but we want to make sure all our pet owners feel comfortable no matter what!
Our walks range from 15 minutes to a full hour. You choose what works best for your dog! Some pet owners book daily (2-3 times a day), others just a few times a week. We're flexible and happy to work around your schedule.
We do our best to make sure your dog gets the same familiar face each visit. You have the choice to pick which walker you preffer and if a change is ever needed, we'll always give you a heads-up first.
Safety is always our priority. If anything unexpected happens, we contact you right away and follow your emergency instructions. While situations like this are extremely rare, we’re fully prepared. Our walkers stay close to home, carry your pet’s emergency contact info, and are trained in basic pet first aid. If a vet visit is ever needed when your pet is in our care, we’ll take your pet to their regular vet immediately and the visit is fully covered through our Pawsurance Protection Plan.
Nope! Most clients leave us a key, a lockbox code, or smart entry access. We’ll always make sure your pet is safe and your home is secure before we leave.
Just send us a message or email with at least 24 hours’ notice. We’re flexible and always here to help adjust your schedule.
Please leave your dog's leash and harness in an obvious spot. If they need boots, jackets, or a muzzle, have those ready too. If you'd like us to bring treats or toys, just let us know!
We usually stick to your neighborhood for walks, but if you request it and it’s safe to do so, we can take your dog to a nearby park or trail. Let us know your preferences when booking.
We send you photo updates after every walk. You’ll also get a little summary of how your dog did and anything we noticed, like if they were extra tired, playful, or had any bathroom issues.
Each walk includes water breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and playtime using your dog’s favorite toys or our own eco-friendly toys. If you approve, we also bring treats to spoil your pet and for positive reinforcement. And don’t worry, we send photo updates during every visit!
We walk in most weather conditions, rain, snow, cold weather. But your pet's and our worker's safety comes first! If there's extreme heat, bad storms, or very icy sidewalks, we make the walks shorter or schedule for a later time if applicable.
We do both! Solo walks are offered for dogs who need individual attention, and group walks are offered for dogs who thrive in group settings. Just let us know what your dog needs and prefers and we'll make it happen.
No problem at all! We are specialized to handle dogs of all sizes and temperments because we get that each dog has their own unique personalities. We're patient and adapt to whatever they require, so let us know any information we'll need to know to give your dog the smoothest walk possible!
Inbound: We come to your home and care for your pet where they feel most comfortable. (If needed, you can request to have our pet-sitter stay the night).
Outbound: Your pet stays at their caregiver’s home with full-time supervision and a cozy setup.
Both options include full care, photo updates, and one-on-one attention, it’s all about what feels right for you and your pet.
We offer both options for outbound stays! There is a $10 fee for either pick-up or drop-offs. It's a great option if you have no time or can't drive to us.

If it’s an emergency, we’ll always try our best to help. For regular bookings, we usually need at least 3 days' notice to make sure your caregiver is available and we’ve got everything ready to go.
That’s totally up to you! Most of our outbound care is one-on-one, but some of our pet sitters have pets of their own. If your pet enjoys social time, we can plan supervised interaction. Just let us know your preference when booking.
We care for dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, and small animals like guinea pigs, parrots, and more. If you’re unsure whether we can accommodate your pet, feel free to reach out and ask!
We offer pet-sitting for up to one full month. For anything longer than a week, we usually recommend outbound stays so our sitters aren’t in your home too long, or we can rotate between team members. For pets who don’t need overnight or long hours of supervision, check out our Check-Ins page. It’s a flexible and reliable option for reptiles, small animals, and more.
