What does a Walk or Pawjama Party Include?
* With permission of pet parents*
Walks to parks, beaches etc. around your neighborhood.
Exploring outdoor cafes & ice cream shops.
- PawsplaywithRita is not an "on-demand" walking service.
- My goal is to build regular walking clients that I see consistently every week around the same general time.
- It is known that consistency & stability are great for humans and same goes for pets.
- This arrangement benefits me because I can build my walking schedule around my classes & internship.
Why I Left the Apps
- It is is important to me to build rapport with both you & your dog(s) in person.
- Meet & greets allow me to observe your dog(s) in the environment they are most comfortable in, and how they interact with a new person.
- Honestly, I was very uncomfortable going into peoples' homes & walking dogs I have never met before, especially in neighborhoods I wasn't familiar with.
As I patiently wait to get my own dog, dogsitting & walking fills the void.It gives me the greatest joy to ensure your dogs are safe, getting exercise and well loved while you’re away! One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to work with & learn about different dog breeds.
