Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

• What is a Sniffari and how is going to help me and my dog?

  A sniffari  is a dog centric walk where dogs are encouraged to explore their environment using their noses while also focusing on covering a set distance and incorporating the activity to provide structure to their walks. It allows them to move at their own pace, sniffing different scents and engaging in natural foraging behaviors, which taps into their instincts and provides essential mental stimulation. For high-energy or reactive dogs, sniffaris can be just as tiring as physical exercise because sniffing activates their brain, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation. This makes sniffaris a great alternative for dogs who may struggle with outside time due to reactivity triggered by other people, dogs or city environments. The slower pace and focus on scent work can help build confidence, lower anxiety, and create a more enriching and calming experience for both the dog and their handler.

• Why do you offer various dog-walking services?

  At Pawpins Petsitting LLC, our primary focus is the daily care of your beloved pets. Our range of dog-walking services is designed to accommodate dogs of all breeds, ages, exercise requirements, and training levels. We offer 15-30 minute walks for smaller dogs and extended 45-90 minute walks for those with higher energy needs.

• Why don't you provide overnight sitting and boarding services?

  Our approach at Pawpins Petsitting is unique. While we currently do not offer overnight sitting in the client's home, we may consider reintroducing it in the future. However, boarding will never be an option for our company. We prioritize the well-being and comfort of pets, as we understand that being in a familiar environment is less stressful for them. This not only benefits the pets living in their homes but also minimizes stress for visiting pets. At Pawpins Petsitting, our commitment is to prioritize safety and comfort over profits, always.
