What areas in San Diego do you currently provide services in?

We provide pet care services in Mission Valley San Diego (and possible other neighborhoods near Mission Valley).

When is payment due?

For regularly scheduled dog walks or dog park adventures, payment is due at the end of each week. This reserves your space in the daily schedule and gives you priority for your chosen days and window of time for our arrival.

For pup parents who need their dog/s walked very occasionally, you may prepay for walks (minimum of five prepaid walks) and we will keep track of when those prepaid visits run out (like a punch card system). 

For one-time walks and pet sittings, payment is due the same day as the walk or the first day the pet sitting begins.

What is your policy for cancelling a dog walk?

To be fair to other clients, we appreciate cancellations as soon as you know you won’t need our services. At the latest, visits can be canceled by 7:00pm the evening before the day of the visit. If canceled after 7:00pm the evening before or the same day of, you will be charged the full price as we have blocked out that time for your pup/s and may have missed out on other pet visits. If you need to cancel the day of due to illness or an emergency, you will not be charged.

What if my dog walker is sick or is going on vacation?

You will likely meet two dog walkers/sitters in your initial consultation. Between the two individuals, there should always be someone available for your fur kid/s. In the rare case we are not available, we will contact you as soon as possible.

Can I book dog walks/park trips or pet sittings with any walker/pet sitter?

No. All dog walks and pet sittings must be scheduled by either sending a text message or calling Oh Happy Dog! at: (619) 753-6964.

What are the advantages of a dog walker versus daycare or a kennel?

For some dogs, doggie daycare may cause anxiety and stress from a new and ever-changing environment. Also, common dog illnesses can be contracted in this setting as well as the kennel environment. A dog walker and/or in-home pet sitter allows your dog to maintain their regular schedule in their comfortable, familiar environment, while providing them exceptional attention and care.

Why choose Oh Happy Dog! over an on-demand dog walking service?

Here at Oh Happy Dog!, you will personally know/have met the two-three different walkers/sitters that will be entering your home and caring for your furry children. With on-demand dog walking services, a different/new walker (who you likely have never met) comes into your home for your pets. While your beloved pets are considered fur-children in our eyes, it is similar to hiring care for your human children...would you use a phone app to hire an on-demand babysitter who you've never met and give them access to your home? 

Do you have references?

Yes, we would be happy to provide you with references upon request! In addition, you can find Oh Happy Dog! on Yelp!

Can you walk my dog at the exact same time every day?

We do our best to arrive to your fur kid near your preferred time but we do schedule visits within a two-hour timeframe. Because peak hours for mid-day dog walks are between 11:00am-3:00pm, we must schedule a two hour window for our arrival time.

Do you offer discounts or have a referral program?

Yes! For each new client you send our way that sets up ongoing, regularly scheduled dog walks with us, we provide you with one free 30-minute visit (a $25 value)! If you refer someone that needs a one-time or occasional dog walk or pet sitting, we will provide you with a $10 credit!
