Pet Check Technology
Our clients have access to Pet Check Technology, a GPS check in and check out service which displays where when and for how long your pup was walked. As a client you will receive an optional email upon both your walkers arrival and departure which includes pictures, a short note letting you know how your pup did and a map of the route taken on the walk! Pet Check Technology™ also allows for online billing and scheduling. There is no additional monthly cost to use this service. New clients are responsible for a small, one time bar code activation fee.

Reviews
Still not sure we are the right team to care for your pets? Read what our clients have to say….
We LOVE Playful Paws! My husband and I feel so lucky to have found them. I have two rowdy and rambunctious German Shepherds. Previously I had a job which allowed me to be home to split dog walking duties with my husband…
So glad we switched to Playful Paws, only wish we did it sooner! We love our e-mailed walk updates that almost always include photos. Nothing brightens our day at work more than knowing our fur baby is a pup about town, with all his own friends & daily routines…
Playful Paws has been a reliable and friendly service! I have used them for about a year. They provide notifications upon arrival and a summary of the appointment which includes a map of the walk and sometimes pictures of my pup! Shanice and Cherish are awesome!..
I switched over to Playful Paws after I caught my previous walker lying and not doing the full hour walks I was paying for. My Siberian Husky isn’t the best behaved dog but the walkers from Playful Paws have been amazing…

Of course!! Our walkers & sitters will check in with you as often as you would like. Our boarders can send you daily pictures while you are away and our walkers can leave personalized notes or send you a text/email letting you know how your pups walk went! On longer stays we can even Skype or Facetime if you want to have a chat to your furry family member. We also offer GPS check in services so that you can see exactly what time your walker came and left your home.
During your initial consultation, you will meet with a primary walker/sitter. If you are delighted with the consultation (and we know you will be!) then the walker/sitter met during your consultation will be your daily walker or primary sitter. Sometimes we get sick or need a vacation day, so for those rare days, one of our other qualified walkers/sitters will be your fill-in.
We use a proprietary system called Pet Check Technology™ which uses mobile bar code technology to track when and where your pup was walked. Clients will receive an optional email upon your walkers arrival and departure letting you know when and where your pup was walked. The email includes pictures, a short note letting you know how the walk went and a map of the route taken on the walk! Pet Check Technology™ also allows for online billing and scheduling. There is no additional monthly cost to use this service. New clients are responsible for a small, one time bar code activation fee. Call or email us to learn more!
YES!! All of our sitters are bonded and insured. We even perform a background check on everyone we hire. We are confident that we have the best team out there!
We understand that things happen, just let us know that your plans have changed by 7pm the night before your service and there is no charge! Same day cancellations will incur the full walk price.
