We are doing it again! We are taking a vacation this year!  We will be taking off Wednesday, November 21st through Sunday, November 25th so that our employees can spend time with their friends and loved ones during the Thanksgiving holiday.  We will not be accepting bookings during this time.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Our employees work hard and on the holidays so that you can have peace of mind that your furbabies are being taken care of in your absence.  This year we are implementing a $5.00 holiday surcharge which will be added to all Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day pet sit/dog walk visits.  The entire surcharge will go directly to the sitter performing the visit. 
Remember to book early!  The winter holidays pet sitting slots tend to book up quickly. 

We are looking for a few kind and compassionate animal lovers to join our team! Please see the information on our "employment" page for our on-line application.

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

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.
