Professional Dog Walking Services

To many of us, our dogs are like our children and we want to provide the best care possible for them. Since our lifestyles get busier and busier, many dogs spend an inordinate amount of time locked up in the house while their owners work long hours and are unable to get home in the middle of the day to take them out. That's where Sentinel Pet Care comes in. We can customize a routine that suits your particular schedule whether you work 9 to 5 or a twelve hour overnight shift. Many dogs will become destructive due to long hours of boredom and our walks will help break up their day and provide them with much needed exercise and stimulation.

Why Use A Professional Dog Walker?

Benefits for your pet:

• Your pet follows a consistent daily routine.
• Your pet remains in their familiar, safe environment, eliminating stress.
• Your pet gets a break to relieve himselft/herself, gets some exercise and stimulation and burns off excess energy. A tired pet is a well behaved pet.
• Your pet receives personalized, individual attention by people who truly care.
• If you have a new puppy a mid-day dog walk is the ideal way to support crate training efforts.

Benefits for you:

• You can be away from home or at work with the peace of mind that your pets and your home are being cared for by a professional.
• You don't have to impose on well meaning friends, neighbors or relatives who may forget to care for your pet.
• You can create any walking schedule you need to suit your lifestyle or work demands.
• Once you're on our schedule we can accomodate last minute requests and if you get stuck in traffic or have to work late give us a call and we can most likely be at your house walking your dog within one hour.

How Does The Dog Walking Service Work?

What do we do during each visit?

• We keep your pet on a consistent routine that meets the demands of your lifestyle.
• We walk your pet for up to 30 minutes, depending upon their particular needs, and spend quality one-on-one time with your them.
• We can administer medications, supplements and special diets, if applicable.
• We leave a daily communication record so that you know what happened during each visit.

How to Get Started

• Please familiarize yourself with our policies.
• Call us at 410.337.7387 or use our online request form to submit a request for service. We will contact you to setup an initial meeting so we can meet you and your pets. The initial meeting lasts about 30 minutes and we document all the information we need to care for your pets. Please be sure to have the following prepared for our meeting:
  1. Contact and emergency telephone numbers.
  2. Behavioral information and medical history of your pet.
  3. Alarm codes, electronic gate cards, and parking garage entry cards (if applicable).
  4. Two sets of house keys (we like to be prepared).
• A Service Agreement will be signed at the end of the interview and a credit card number is obtained at that time. For regular dog walking clients we bill on the 15th and last day of each month. We will email you a PDF of the invoice and then charge the card no less than 24 hours later.
