Companion Care
Service Description
At Practical Pet Services, we understand that your pets are more than just animals; they're cherished members of your family. That's why we're proud to offer our Companion Care service, designed to ensure your furry friends get the attention, exercise, and care they need, especially when you can't be there to provide it yourself. Whether you're physically unable to take your dog for the walks they need, your energetic pup needs an outlet to burn off some steam, or your senior companion could benefit from gentle, regular exercise, we've got you covered. Our Companion Care service is particularly beneficial for pets who may experience loneliness or boredom during the day. Engaging in daily dog walking has numerous benefits for your pet's physical health, mental stimulation, and overall wellbeing. $20 Half-Hour Visit: Ideal for a quick stroll around the neighborhood, offering your pet a break and a bit of exercise. $30 One-Hour Visit: Perfect for more energetic or larger dogs who require more time to explore and stay healthy. Additional Dog(s): $5 Each: Have more than one furry friend at home? We love walking groups and can accommodate each additional pet for a nominal fee. Please note, these rates serve as a guideline. We offer a pre-service visit, during which we can provide a customized quote tailored to the specific needs of your pets and the time it takes to ensure they receive the care they deserve. At Practical Pet Services, we're dedicated to offering a service that not only supports your pet's physical health but also nurtures their emotional and mental wellbeing through companionship and fun. Reach out to us to schedule your pre-service visit and learn more about how we can help keep your pets happy and healthy.
