A Whole Lotta Love is back open for dog walking and pet sitting with new protocols to keep everyone safe during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As of now, this will be A Whole Lotta Love’s (AWLL) new protocol for dog walking/pet sitting visits:
a). The AWLL dog walker/pet sitter will wear a mask/face covering before entering the client’s home and keep it on when inside the client’s house
b). The AWLL dog walker/pet sitter will use hand sanitizer prior to entering the client’s home and after exiting the client’s home OR they will wear gloves during the visit
c). If the owner will be at home, the walker will text the owner when he or she are on their way to the visit
d). We will ask the owner to put on the dog(s)'s collar or harness inside the house prior to our arrival
e). When the walker arrives, he or she will text the owner and we ask that the client put the dog(s) in the (fenced-in) backyard.
f). The dog walker/pet sitter will have the option of using their own leash to walk your dog(s) or if they feel comfortable using the owner’s leash
e). When the walker is done with the walk, he/she will put the dog(s) in the backyard and will text the owner
f). Then the walker will follow up with the owner with a brief description from the walk and pics
g). If the dog walker/pet sitter is feeling sick with Covid-19 symptoms or has been exposed to anyone who has been recently diagnosed with the coronavirus, the dog walker/pet sitter will let me know and another dog walker/pet sitter will take their place and will be asked to self-quarantine at their home.
Our goal is to keep everyone safe. Please let us know if you have any questions (Susan@awholelottalovedogwalking.com), or if there are any special requests you may to keep everyone safe!
Hope to see you soon! 😸❤️🐶

Why You Need a Dog Walker
You are busy! You work long hours. You come home from work tired. And your four-legged best friend is anxiously waiting for you at the door.
He has been cooped up inside the house for 8+ hours. He needs exercise to burn off some of that energy. You feel guilty because you want to sit down and watch T.V., go through the mail, read the newspaper, spend time with your family and/or start dinner. How would you like to come home and Fido is calmly waiting for you. He is still happy to see you, but is content to sit at your feet until you are ready to play. What Fido needs is a mid-day walk! And A Whole Lotta Love is here to help you! Try our dog walk service (see our Services and Pricing Page) and see how much happier your pup is when you get home!

Kenneling vs. Staying at Home Susan walking Tala around Trinity Park
Just as with children, not every situation is what’s best for every animal. Animals feel most comfortable in their own home because they spend a lot of time at home while their owners are at work or out of the house running errands. Animals do well in their familiar surroundings as long as they have some human interaction, food and water. They enjoy being in their own bed, playing with their own toys and the scents of home they are accustomed to. The only thing that has changed is that their owner is away and someone else is coming in to look in on your pet. Every pet has its own unique personality. Only you know if your dog would thrive in a kennel or doggy day-care or in the comforts of their own home. |
