The First Visit is FREE! During this visit The Dog Buddy will get to know you, and your pet! A few forms will be filled out, and instructions for future visits can be given. Please be prepared with your pet's vaccination records and a duplicate house key for The Dog Buddy. The Dog Buddy is fully licensed and insured. We take pride in our services, and ensure your pet will be treated with the same compassion you give! The Dog Buddy reserves the right to refuse service to any pet that is aggressive or a danger.  An additional charge will apply per dog, this includes pet-sitting also. We do our best to accommodate all appointments, however weekends and holidays fill up fast. Reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis.  The Dog Buddy will always leave a hand-written report or an email of the services provided, and what your pet did!  The Dog Buddy periodically gives discounts when you purchase 10 or more pet-visits/dog walks at a time. These appointments can be scheduled whenever there is an opening, and they never expire!
