PPM is monitoring our area's air quality index (AQI) as the Northeastern US continues to experience the effects of the Canadian Wildfires.

Currently, our service area is in code orange which represents unhealthy pollution levels for sensitive groups of people. Should the AQI reach code red (unhealthy pollution levels for all) we will need to cancel walks for the safety of your pets and Rodney. We will reach out to you as soon as possible if we need to cancel a walk.

Please feel free to reach out via email or text message should you have any concerns.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth & Rodney

Hi folks - PPM is expanding!

We are so grateful to have a full schedule less than a year from our start. At this time, we are looking for an active, reliable person to take on a small part-time client load and hope to eventually be able to expand it into a full-time opportunity. So, if you know someone looking for a part-time gig please have them reach out to us at [email protected].

Thank you to all of our clients. We could not have done this without YOU!

The dog days of summer are in full swing!

According to the Spruce Pets, Asphalt temperatures can be up to 60 degrees (!!!!) hotter than the air temperature when in direct sunlight with no humidity!

We always take precautions to ensure that your sweet pet's paws are not burnt up and recommend early morning and early evening walks to avoid the heat.
