Dogventures & Visits

Make this year the best yet; sign your dog up for dogventures with A Bark Above!

What is a Dogventure?

It's what we do! We currently offer the following dogventures to get your four-legged friends out of the house and onto the trails. We want to see as many dogs as possible roam, run, sniff, and play to achieve their optimal physical and mental well-being.

Dogventures are an effective way to provide your dogs with exercise and socialization. They often take place at local trails where dogs can be dogs! Dogs take part in hiking, playing, and swimming, if water is available.

All dogs are taught the same trail commands to ensure a safe and structured environment which ultimately allows our packs to have the most freedom possible while also respecting the natural outdoors and other trail goers.

What dogventures include: Dogventures include pick-up & drop-off from your home. We provide all supplies (long leads, poo bags, treats, water, first aid kit, and more) and light grooming supplies including towels/wipes, brush, and deodorizer so that your dog arrives back home in as close to the same condition as when we picked them up. You will have peace of mind knowing that your dog is in safe, capable, and knowledgeable hands and a journal entry & photos are sent to your email at the end of the service so you can see how your dog did.

Dogventures

2hr Group Dogventure (105min. minimum of adventure; 15min for clean-up and final water break): $62

The groups consist of 3-6 dogs per handler to ensure all dogs receive necessary attention and care.

Your dog will be out of the house an average of 2.5-4.5hrs depending on the group & route.

The 2hr Dogventure is the best choice for high energy dogs who know basic obedience and behave well in close proximity to other dogs (including in the car) and the general public.

1hr Group Dogventure (50min. minimum adventure; 10min for clean-up & final water break): $40

The groups consist of 3-6 dogs per handler to ensure all dogs receive necessary attention and care.

Your dog will be out of the house on average of 1.25-3hrs depending on the group & route.

The 1hr Group Dogventure is the best choice for a dog who needs more than a neighborhood walk, knows basic obedience, and behaves well in close proximity to other dogs (including in the car) and the general public.

Visits/Walks

Visits (60, 30, or 20min intervals): $40-$20

Is a dogventure not the right fit but your dog needs attention, care, and exercise while you're away? We offer the following options to provide your dog with a potty break, walk, or company.

All Visits take place at your home and/or in your neighborhood. Visits can include a potty break, walk, mealtime, and/or playtime. All Visits include a journal entry & photos at the end of the service so you know how your dog did.

1hr: $40

Ideal option for dogs who need a longer visit when owners are away longer than usual, a long walk, or a two dog household where each dog needs an individual walk.

30min: $28

Ideal option for when owners are not able to provide a walk or potty break within an appropriate amount of time whether they’re at work or elsewhere.

*30min Visit discounts: $25 per visit for students, seniors, and those with 5+ visits per week.

20min or less: $20

Ideal option for a quick potty break, walk, feeding/medication, or water refill.

Pet Sitting

Overnight Pet Sitting: $85 base rate (contact us for further details)

Overnight pet sitting in your home ensures that your dog is comfortable & safe while you're away.

Overnight pet sitting includes:

· Up to 24hr overnight care right in your home.

· Your dog will be alone for no more than 6hrs at a time (we may leave to visit other clients throughout the day).

· Two walks or sessions of playtime per day (if able, they can join one of our dogventures at a discounted rate).

· Feeding, water, medicine (if applicable), and potty breaks given as needed.

· We bring in the mail, take out the trash, and do an overall wipe down & sweep of the areas we used in the house before departing.

· Daily journal entry and photos. Text access to the pet sitter throughout their stay.

*In the event your original itinerary changes due to travel delays, etc., we have a team that can continue to visit your pet(s) until you arrive home (service rates apply).
