Questions

Happy to help.

Getting started

Do I need a smartphone or an app?

No. Call us to book and pay by card each month. Videos are optional.

What happens at the first visit?

Your first visit is $29. Your visitor meets you and your dog, tries out different games to find your dog's favorites, and goes over health notes, house rules, and how to get in. You get a short write-up of how your dog likes to play and a video of the visit.

Do I need to be home?

Either way. Many owners like to watch or chat. If you're out, we can use a lockbox or key.

Which areas do you visit?

Valencia, Saugus, Newhall, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, and Castaic, including Friendly Valley. Not sure if you're in range? Call or text us your zip code.

The visits

What happens on a visit?

Every visit is 45 minutes: a friendly hello, about 30 minutes of your dog's favorite games with water breaks, a calm cool-down, and a quick tidy-up where we put toys away and check the doors and gates. See how it works.

How is this different from a dog walker or a pet-sitting app?

Apps send whoever is available for a quick check-in. We send the same trained visitor every time, and the whole visit is play.

What's included?

45 minutes of play, fresh water, a meal if you'd like, backyard poop pickup, gates and doors checked, and a video of the fun.

What if it's raining or very hot?

We play inside or in the shade with calmer games. Your dog still gets a full visit. On hot days we also visit at cooler times.

Do you bring toys?

Yes. We bring ball launchers, flirt poles, frisbees, and puzzle toys. We're happy to use your dog's favorites too.

Your dog

My dog is older. Is that okay?

Yes. We slow the games down and focus on gentle fetch, sniffing, and short play breaks.

I have two dogs. Can you play with both?

Yes. Dogs from the same home play together, for $10 more a visit.

My dog is nervous or reactive. Can you help?

Tell us at the first visit. We'll decide together whether play visits are a good fit, and if not, Scott can suggest training.

Will play undo my dog's training?

No. Our games use "drop it," "wait," and coming when called, so play actually reinforces good manners.

Does my dog need to be vaccinated?

Yes, we check vaccinations before the first visit. We only ever play with one home's dogs at a time.

Training

Do you offer dog training?

Yes. One-on-one lessons for you and your dog, with a professional trainer, for leash pulling, jumping, coming when called and other everyday manners: $125 for a 60-minute lesson or $449 for four. You take part in each lesson. See in-home training.

Do play visits teach manners too?

Yes. Every visit is trainer-led play. The games have rules, like wait before the throw and drop it, so your dog practices good manners every time.

Do you work with aggressive dogs?

No. Aggression and serious behavior problems need a specialist, and we'll gladly refer you to one.

Safety

Who will come to my home?

Your regular visitor: our employee, background-checked, insured, and trained in pet first aid and our play and safety routine. You'll meet them at the first visit.

What if my regular visitor is out?

Your dog's backup visitor, who they've already met, fills in. A sick day never means a stranger at your door.

How do you keep my home secure?

Leash on at every door, gates checked, and the house locked on the way out, every visit.

Plans and payment

How much does it cost?

The first visit is $29. After that, it's $118 a week for two visits, $165 a week for three, or $69 for a single visit whenever you need one. See pricing.

How do I pay?

By card each month. Call us to set it up. If a family member is paying, we'll bill them directly.

What if I'm traveling or away from home?

Call us. We can pause your plan, or keep visiting so your dog has company while you're gone.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Plans are month to month, with no app fees or booking fees.

Can I book visits for my parent's dog?

Yes. You set it up and pay, your parent just opens the door, and we send the videos to both of you. More for families.

Still have a question?

Call or text, seven days a week. A real person answers.
