Pet Sitting + Dog Walking
All animals travel. Fish need to swim, birds need to fly…and dogs need to walk!
PET SITTING
It is nice to get away, but leaving your home overnight can cause stress for you and your pet(s). At MUZZLE NUDGE we provide your pet with a calm, relaxing night at your home, a comfortable and safe environment that your pet(s) know. Also, it helps reduce the stress of being away from home and gives you peace of mind knowing they’re happy, safe and well taken care of.
We always build a connection with pet parents in advance to discuss their pet’s unique personalities and stay in contact and constant communication during our visit. Our first meet and greet home visit (initial consult) with us is always FREE.

Taking a dog for a walk is one of life’s most joyful experiences for me! There is so much connection that exists in this simple activity. This is how dogs live life, experience life, learn about life, the way they connect with the family, and the way they get to know the world. A simple walk is so important for the dog’s physical and emotional health, and it is so meaningful to them!

DOG WALKING:
THE BENEFITS OF WALKS
Our modern lives are so busy that it seems overwhelming to have to add in daily walks with our dogs on top of everything else. But if your are going to take on the responsibility of living with a dog, this is the contract you sign. You need to walk with your dog. Every day. Preferably at least twice a day. And for minimum of thirty minutes at a time.
Walking with your dog is a primal activity. It is hardwired into her brain to migrate with her pack. Dogs don’t simply enjoy walks because they get to pee and poop and get some fresh air. Every cell in your dog’s body is crying out for a walk.
The walk is where your dog learns to be a dog. She learns about the environment, about the other animals and humans in it, about the dangers and things to avoid. She gets to pee on trees and really get to know her territory.
Walking with your dog is the single most powerful tool to help you connect with all the aspects of your dog’s mind. The walk is the foundation of your relationship. By mastering the walk, you have the ability to truly bond with your dog as her pack leader.
