Always wondering what that note on the counter at home from your walker says? With Trusty Tails, you don’t have to wait until you get home to find out that your dog was walked. With today’s technology, we make it easy for you to know as soon as it happens. In this article, we answer “How do I know my dog walker walked my dog?” by a Trusty Tails Walker.
1.) Confirmation Through Our Online Scheduling System
With Trusty Tails’ online system, scheduling and communicating is as simple as pressing a button. Simply schedule your appointment and receive and email confirming your request once we approve it. You never have to worry that someone didn’t write down your appointment time. Once we’ve confirmed your request, it’s all set from there.
2.) GPS Tracker
Upon arrival, your dog walker will arrive within your chosen time frame and check in via GPS tracker to begin the visit. Once the walk is completed, our staff will check out with the same GPS method they used at the start of the visit. This GPS time stamp will be included in the pet care note we send you.
3.) Communicating With Your Dog Walker
Forget to let your walker know to give your dog lunch or some medicine? No worries. No need to pick up the phone and call the office (though we would love to hear from ya. With our system’s technology, you are able to directly communicate via text message in our system with your walker who is scheduled to walk your dog. It’s that simple.
4.) Pet Care Journal Notes
A standard walk lasts for approximately thirty minutes, though this may be altered slightly due to extreme weather conditions or your dog’s specific needs. Your walker will send you a personalized message about everything that happened during the walk. This note includes a time stamped map, checklist detailing bathroom habits, weather, medications given, and photos. The pet care journal entry that you can view at any time from your online account.
All of this is wrapped up into one neat email and sent directly to you to view at your leisure. Each of these emails is kept in a Pet Care Journal in a calendar format in your account for you to go back and review any time you would like.
Don’t panic if you haven’t gotten an email and the thirty minutes of your dog’s walk are up – many of our walkers and sitters enjoy spending extra time with your pet when they can, so more than likely, they’re just going above and beyond by giving your dog all the love and play he deserves.
