What services to you provide?
Furring & Purr Associates provides dog walking and cat sitting services and will take boarding clients (dogs only). Because I have my own resident pets, boarding clients must submit to an in-person temperament assessment in my home to determine whether boarding is a good fit.
What services don't you provide?
Furring & Purr Associates is currently unable to provide live-in away care for clients when they are out of town.
What is included in a standard dog walk?
Dog walks are a full 20 minutes door-to-door. That 20 minutes doesn't start until we have left the premises. All pre and post walk duties (i.e. getting coats on, drying-off after rain, refilling water) are supplemental to the walk time. This is to insure that your pet is getting a consistent 20 minute walk every time and that our clients are getting their money's worth.
In addition, Furring & Purr Staff will:
- Refill water
- Administer post-walk treats
- Leave a detailed walking note (text is also available by request)
- Provide any necessary post-walk clean-up of your pet
What isn't included in a standard dog walk?
Feeding and medication are not included in the standard dog walk and are subject to additional fees.

- For Dog Walks: As long as a client’s cancellation request is received and confirmed before the walker is en route to the visit, there will be no charge. Cancellation may be done via text, email or phone call. Clients will be responsible for the full service fee for cancellations after the walker is en route.
