The Meet 'N Greet for Dog Walking
Each new client will receive a complimentary Meet 'N Greet. It gives us an opportunity to meet you, your family and your pet(s) and we will have a discussion to determine what service best suits your pet’s needs and conduct an assessment. This meeting will take place in your home.
For dog walking clients we will discuss the times, days, frequency, and length of walks you require, your dogs breed and temperament, your location.
For dog and pet sitting clients we will discuss travel dates, location, breed and temperament, and your specific needs.
If you decide to choose Heidi's Happy Hounds to care for your dog, you will fill out a Client Intake Form which includes information specific to your pup, including vet and emergency contact info. We will go over their routine, and you will be assigned a Primary Pet Care Provider, the main care giver for your dog. A key exchange or equal arrangements would also be made at this time, as well as answering any questions you may have.
