A lot of first-time clients want to know exactly what happens once they book, so here is a walk through a typical visit from start to finish.
How does a visit start?
Every visit starts the same way it did at the free meet-and-greet: Riley lets your pet come to him first rather than rushing in. Dogs and cats do better when they get a moment to sniff around and settle before anything else happens, so that comes first every time.
What happens during a dog walk?
Riley follows the route and pace that fits your dog, whether that is a calm walk around the block or a longer outing for a higher energy dog. He pays attention to water breaks, weather, and anything your dog seems uncomfortable with along the way. If you have specific streets, parks, or areas you prefer he uses or avoids, he sticks to that.
What happens during a drop-in visit or feeding visit?
For a drop-in or feeding visit, Riley follows whatever instructions you leave, feeding amounts, medication if any, fresh water, and a bit of playtime or attention so your pet is not just checked on and left. He also does a quick walk-through of the home to make sure everything looks normal before he leaves.
Does Riley send updates during the visit?
Yes. Riley is happy to send a quick text or photo update after a visit so you know how it went, especially for a first booking. If you would rather not get updates every time, that is fine too, just let him know what you prefer.
What if my pet is nervous or has specific needs?
This is exactly why the free meet-and-greet exists. Riley uses that first visit to learn your pet's personality and any quirks ahead of time, whether that is a dog who needs a slower introduction, a cat who hides at first, or specific handling instructions. That information carries into every visit after.
Is this only for dogs?
No. Riley looks after cats and other household pets too, not just dogs, and the same attention to routine and comfort applies no matter the animal.
How much does a visit cost?
The first full day is $16 an hour. Pricing for additional visits depends on the service, so reach out and Riley will give you a straight answer for your situation.
