Feeling guilty that you have to leave your pet and wish you could give them a little extra attention? Let us help manage their boredom with our drop-in visits! With The Wet Nose, LLC, you can relax knowing your best friend has their needs met!

We can perform drop-in pet care visits for many different animals! Whether you have furry, feathered, slimy, or scaly friends, we’ve got you covered! Play time, back yard exercise, mental stimulation, training, a snack, a meal break or cuddles are all on the agenda!

During these visits, we can also help with…

• Waste pick-up

• Medication administration

We cannot wait to provide you with customized visits that cater to YOUR pet’s species, breed, size, age, abilities, and any special needs they may have!

You will also have access to our online client portal and mobile app. Drop-ins are completed with photos sent to you and a summary of how the visit went for your pets.

DOG WALKING

Our walks are structured, aerobic, and fun! Not only will your dog be happy and physically healthy with our walks– regular walking can even provide solutions to common behavior problems at home! After walking, your dog will be able to relax and decompress with that post-walk state-of-mind.

We can take requests and feedback on where you would like your dog walked. We can also lightly reinforce any training you have previously done with your dog. Since our walks are individual and private, we don’t have an entire pack of dogs to care for. This means customized walks that cater to YOUR dog’s breed, size, age, abilities, and any special needs they may have.

You will also have access to our online client portal and mobile app. Walks are completed with photos sent to you and a summary of how the walk went for your dog.

PRICING:

DOG HIKING

Escape the concrete and satisfy those canine cravings for your dog’s happy place- nature and the outdoors! Hikes (read: Doggy Disneyland!) allow your dog ample time to sniff, explore, and exercise! Your dog can enjoy door-to-door transport (included with rates!) to one of your favorite local hiking spots. From there, we will tire your pooch out with a 60 or 90 minute hike!

On the hike, we will make sure your dog has a blast! Water and treat breaks are a must! We can also lightly reinforce any training you have previously done with your dog, focusing on things like confidence building and impulse control– two training topics that are very useful while participating in hiking and outdoor recreation. Since our hikes are individual and private, we don’t have an entire pack of dogs to care for. This means customized trips that cater to YOUR dog’s breed, size, age, abilities, and any special needs they may have!

You will also have access to our online client portal and mobile app. Walks are completed with photos sent to you and a summary of how the walk went for your dog.
