D
ogs are extremely social animals and require lots of attention and exercise. Unfortunately, thousands of pet owners work all day, and this requires leaving your dog home while you work. Often these owners come home to a stressed dog, and sometimes even rampant destruction of their home and/or yard. No more need to worry. We have a solution ... daily dog walking or doggy daycare. Dog walking and doggy daycare are trends sweeping through North America and a great way to show your pet you care.

Selecting just the right pet sitter for the care of your pets and home · is one of the more important decisions you will make. At The Pet Nanny, our goal is to make sure that plans don't get cancelled and pets don't go uncared for. Period.


 

Benefits of Mid-day Dog Walks


Puppies: (under 1 year) - Daily mid-day visits help establish and maintain a housebreaking schedule. Proper house breaking requires a consistent schedule of bathroom breaks for your puppy. Crate trained puppies need to get out every 3 - 4 hours for proper training and socialization. Your doggie walker makes daily visits while you are at work. Not only is your puppy's schedule kept consistent, but he/she will also be socialized with someone other than the owner.


Adult Dogs:
Adult dogs need regular exercise to ensure good physical and mental health. Loving owners who work long hours can depend on The Pet Nanny to walk their dogs during the week when their time is the most limited. Crated dogs are in particular need of a mid-day break. Over-crating and under exercising can result in a hyperactive, under-socialized dog who is harder to live with and train.

Elderly Dogs:
The elderly dog often needs more frequent bathroom breaks than he/she needed as a younger dog. When older dogs have accidents they often become stressed because they have been trained to go outside but just can not "hold it" anymore. In addition, a frustrated owner may end up confining the older dog. An afternoon visit will give the elderly dog his/her much needed bathroom break. This keeps both dog and owner happy!

ABOUT US

The Pet Nanny has been keeping dogs happy since 2001. Today we still consider “doggie happiness” to be our specialty. Long commutes, and busy Washingtonian-style work schedules often make it difficult for owners to fulfill all of their dogs’ needs during the week. The Pet Nanny helps loving, but busy, dog owners keep their dogs happy, and their rugs clean. With this in mind we created a doggie walking division, better known as The Pet Nanny.   

The Pet Nanny is owned and operated by Anne Atwell. Anne has experience with all sorts of pets including dogs, cats, birds, turtles, rabbits and horses. She is trained in pet first aid through the American Red Cross. 

Our pet sitters are bonded, insured and carefully trained to care for your pets. Call now to get us setup to care for your pets.
