At Paws & Paths of Dorchester, the safety of your beloved pets is our top priority. Whether we’re walking your dog through the charming streets of Dorchester or sitting with your cat in the comfort of your home, we take every precaution to ensure they are secure and well-cared for. In this blog, we’ll discuss the comprehensive safety measures we employ during dog walking and cat sitting to protect your pets, including secure handling, home security, and emergency preparedness.
Secure Handling: Keeping Dogs Safe on Walks
Walking dogs may seem straightforward, but there’s much more to it than meets the eye. At Paws & Paths, we follow strict protocols to ensure that your dog is safe from the moment we step outside your door.
- Lead and Collar Checks: Before each walk, we conduct thorough checks on your dog’s collar and lead to ensure they are in good condition and properly fitted. A secure collar and lead are essential for preventing accidents, especially in busy areas.
- Controlled Environment: We choose walking routes that are safe, avoiding areas with heavy traffic or potential hazards. Our team is trained to keep your dog close and under control at all times, using positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behaviour.
- Weather Precautions: Dorchester’s weather can be unpredictable, so we always take precautions to keep your dog comfortable and safe, whether it’s providing extra water on hot days or adjusting the length of the walk during extreme weather.
Home Security: Protecting Your Cats and Property
When it comes to cat sitting, safety extends beyond your pet to include your home. We take every step to ensure that both your cat and your property are secure during our visits.
- Secure Entrances: We are meticulous about locking and securing all doors and windows after each visit. This not only ensures your home is safe but also prevents your cat from accidentally slipping outside.
- Regular Check-Ins: During our visits, we check on your cat’s well-being, ensuring they are safe and comfortable. We also monitor the home environment, such as checking that food and water supplies are adequate and that no potential hazards have arisen.
- Discreet Service: We are discreet about our visits to your home, avoiding any signs that could indicate you are away. This helps to maintain the security of your property, giving you peace of mind while you’re out.
