Your Dog's Safety Is Our Priority

Dog Walking Safety Guidelines

The safety of your dog and our walkers is a top priority. We understand that each dog has unique leash handling needs. Our walkers stay alert on every walk to give your dog a happy and safe walk. They are not dog trainers. To ensure we can safely handle your dog on a walk, please read the guidelines below.

Dog Sitting Requirements:
  • Your dog must wear a properly fitted collar or harness, with I.D. tags
  • Dogs must walk without excessive pulling or lunging
  • A 4-6 foot leash is required. PPCC does not use retractable leashes.
  • Dogs must be up to date on all required shots
  • We cannot handle dogs with a history of aggression
