Private and Pack Walks in Lakewood,
Long Beach, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach,
& Cypress 

We schedule services in time blocks. For dog walking, your sitter will arrive within a 2 hour time frame of your choice of time block. For young puppies (under 6 months) and senior pups without immediate bathroom or outdoor access, you have the option for us to arrive within a 1 hour window.

For pack walks, we will pick your dog up between 10 and 11:30 am and drop off between 1:30 and 3 pm (these times are subject to change).

Morning: 8 am – 11 am
Mid-Day: 11 am – 2 pm
Afternoon: 2 pm – 5 pm
Evening: 5 pm – 8 pm

When you start service, you will meet with 1-2 of our sitters. We work together as a team to provide consistent, top quality care. This allows us to increase our availability when you have last minute plans and need pet care or when one of your sitters needs time off for personal appointments or vacation time.

This means your pets will have their own personal pet care team.In the event we need a new sitter to cover one of your walks, we will give you enough notice so you have the option to schedule a Meet & Greet with the new sitter.

Of course! While we cannot always guarantee availability on short notice, we will do our best to accommodate you. For services requested same day, after 8 pm the prior day, or with less than 48 hours notice on holidays, there is a $5 surcharge.

Private walks are available every day of the week, Sunday through Saturday. Pack walks are available Monday through Friday.

Please note: on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day, private and pack walks are unavailable. These days are reserved and fully dedicated to pet sit visits and stays.

There is a $10 surcharge per walk on the following holidays: New Years Eve, Presidents Day, Easter Sunday, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Halloween, and Christmas Eve.

This goes directly to our sitters as a gratuity and “thank you” for being there for our clients on these holidays.

We take some simple but necessary precautions. Dogs new to pack walks must complete and pass a temperament test.

For the health and safety of our clients, dogs attending pack walks must be current in the following vaccinations and screenings: dogs must be vaccinated every 6 months for Bordetella (kennel cough) and we also recommend Canine Influenza + Stool Test. Dogs must be kept current on vaccinations or antibody titer tested for Rabies, DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus). Puppies attending must be at least 16 weeks old and have their 3 sets of vaccinations and Rabies vaccine.

All dogs must be kept current on flea and tick treatment. We cannot bring females in heat. Dogs over 10 years old or with pre-existing conditions need a Senior Release Form signed by their vet.

Depending on the severity of weather conditions, Hush Puppies will either continue as usual or shorten walks with notice. Hush Puppies will give notice in either case.

On hot days (over 90 degrees), way may shorten your pups walk to 15 minutes and spend the remaining time inside playing with your pet or snuggling. During our walk, we will bring along our doggy water bottle, put on your dog’s booties, and upon request, hose down water-happy dogs.

On extremely rainy days, we may shorten your pups walk to 15 minutes and spend the remaining time inside playing with your pet or snuggling. During our walk, we will bring along an umbrella and put on your pups raincoat.

Cancellations need to be made through your online portal account. For Dog Walks, cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are billed in full.
