What makes Wags4Walks different from other dog walkers?
We provide adventure-based services with transportation to off-leash parks rather than neighborhood walks. Our consistent walker assignments and personalized care create stronger bonds between pets and caregivers.
Are your services insured and bonded?
Yes, we maintain full bonding and insurance coverage through Pet Sitters International for client protection and peace of mind.
Will my dog have the same walker each visit?
We prioritize consistent walker assignments to build trust and familiarity. Only in cases of emergencies or scheduled absences will alternative arrangements be made with client approval.
What if I need to cancel a scheduled walk?
Cancellations before 5pm the day prior receive no charge. Walks cancelled after this deadline will be charged in full to maintain scheduling integrity.
How do you handle service during the pandemic?
We follow strict safety protocols including mask wearing, hand sanitization, and contactless interactions. Owners can designate specific leashes and arrange for backyard pickups to minimize exposure.
Which areas do you service?
We serve Newton, Waltham, Weston, Wellesley, and parts of Lexington and Lincoln with reliable coverage for all scheduled appointments.
