HAPPY TRAILS | Services & Rates
Dog Running
• Single dog: $25 per run.
• Two dogs: $5 extra.
Specifics: Runs consist of 30 minutes of actual running time and always take place on safe routes. Most runs begin at the place of residence, but dogs will be relocated to less congested areas when necessary. All runs are leashed and dogs must be at least 12 months of age to be eligible. For a more in-depth look at what a run consists of, please visit the FAQ page.
TWO-DOG RUN DISCOUNT: Adding a second dog to the run only costs $5 extra. The second dog can be a neighbor's dog (within a few blocks) or an additional dog from the same residence. The sum total for a two-dog run is $30, so runs split between two neighbors cost $15 per owner. No more than 2 dogs will be run at once.

Pet Sitting
• Overnight In-Home Care: ~$55 per night.
We offer professional, overnight pet sitting to provide loving companionship for your dogs while you're away and also to ensure your home the added measure of security that comes with maintaining a human presence in it. Overnight stays guarantee a minimum presence of 7pm-7am, but will most typically entail significantly more time spent with your pet than that, since your residence will become our "home base". Due to the unique nature of these jobs, the $55/night figure is approximate and could be slightly less or slightly more depending on your situation (primarily location).
Pet services include feeding your dog meals, administering meds, morning and evening walks/potty breaks, and (most importantly) giving them all the love, hugs, belly rubs, and tennis ball tosses that they want. Mid-day runs and walks are not included. However, we are sometimes able to offer your pets these services at discounted rates during your time away.
Home services include watering your garden and house plants, picking up mail, packages, and the newspaper, keeping the bird and squirrel feeders well-stocked, changing lights and shades to give your residence a "lived-in" feel, and just generally tending to the care and safety of your home. Every visit is specifically tailored to your needs and we're happy to accommodate any reasonable request that's important to you.
For additional details on topics such as holidays, the initial consultation, number of pets involved, keys, and our cancellation policy, please read our pet sitting entry on the FAQ page.

Dog Walking
• The same rates apply as dog running.
For certain dogs, walking might be a better option. This may include dogs that are tiny, have health issues or injuries, are in their "golden years", or are currently too young for us to run them. It's always our aim to improve your dog's health and fitness level, so we would be overjoyed if they progressed to a point where they'd enjoy us slowly incorporating some running into their workouts.

Payment
• Payment is made at the end of each month in the form of a mailed check. An e-mailed reminder will be sent to you prior.
