Pet Check-ins & Dog Walking

A day out or time away from home can leave you needing someone to check on your animals. Addy's local pet visits and dog walks help with everyday routines, with the tasks and schedule agreed through a parent.

Rates are available on request from a parent.

How this helps your family

Everyday routines covered

A check-in can include the feeding, fresh water and simple tidying you specify, so those everyday tasks aren't left until you return.

Time for exercise and company

An agreed neighborhood walk or playtime visit gives pets attention while you're busy or away from home.

A check-in for your plants, too

Indoor and outdoor plant watering can be discussed as part of a pet visit, keeping more of your home's routine covered.

What can be included

  • Food and fresh water for cats, dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, reptiles and chickens, as agreed.
  • Playtime and attention suited to the animals and the visit.
  • Neighborhood dog walks.
  • A quick tidy of food bowls, cages or litter areas.
  • Indoor and outdoor plant watering.
  • A quick text or photo update.

Good to know

Pet visits are local, within walking or biking distance, and arranged with a parent. Describe your pet's size, behavior and handling needs before a walk is agreed. Mention medications or special care needs so a parent can assess the request; do not assume medication administration, overnight stays or specialist animal care are included.

What to include in your request

Tell us the kinds of pets you have, their routines, your location, the preferred visit dates and the tasks you need. A parent confirms whether the location and animals are a suitable fit, discusses access instructions, and agrees on availability and rates before any visit is booked.

Questions families ask

Can Addy check on pets other than dogs and cats?

The service also includes requests for fish, birds, hamsters, gerbils, reptiles and chickens. Describe the animals and their routines so a parent can confirm the specific care arrangements.

Can plant watering be included?

Yes, indoor and outdoor plant watering is part of the help offered. Include it in your request so the tasks can be agreed before the visit.

Can I book overnight care or medication administration?

Do not assume either is included. Share any medication or special care requirements with a parent, who will confirm what can and cannot be accommodated.

What are the rates?

Rates are available on request and depend on the agreed tasks and schedule. A parent shares pricing and confirms the booking details.
