The primary dog walker will be there the majority of the time, but the backup dog walker will be there if needed. Each team lives within their designated area so that we can handle schedule changes, off-hours visits, etc.

Q. What breeds does Muddy Paws walk?
A. We do not discriminate by breed. Rather, we determine whether certain dogs will be a good fit based on temperament. We have taken care of AWESOME Pitbull Terriers and have come across aggressive Labrador Retrievers. We believe dog behavior is individual, not breed specific.
Q. Is Muddy Paws able to administer medications?
A. We have experience administering a variety of medicine to both dogs and cats. For specific questions regarding your pet’s care, please contact us.
Q. How do I pay Muddy Paws? Can I leave money at the house for the walker?

Payment must be sent to the office or paid online, we are unable to accept payment left at your home. For your convenience, a debit or credit card stays on file and is auto-charged on the due date, if you have not submitted payment before then.
