Interested in making pup parent friends and having your dog socialize in a safe and controlled environment? I have some EXCITING news for you!!

This spring, I will be launching a monthly group dog walk to help build a safe space for dogs and their owners create a community, and create some well rounded pups!

What are the benefits for you and your dog?

🐶 Neutrality: neutrality should be the ultimate goal in your dog’s socialization work! There are plenty of chances for your dog to play, and it’s easy for them to be able to run, be excited, and let anyone and everyone say hi to them. But what about days you just DON’T have time for that? Can you take an easy walk with your dog without them barking or pulling to get to a person or another dog? Our main goal in these walks are to keep the movement going, and keep playtime to a minimum to help combat that NEED to say hello! (Because let’s be real: it’s a want. A want that can get your dog hurt, and maybe you, if they pull hard to the wrong dog!)

🐶 Community: these walks will be scheduled once a month, maybe more! By joining us on these walks, you’re bound to make new friends, maybe even some new friends for your dog too!

🐶 Knowledge: this event will be co-hosted by a local trainer (to be announced later) who will be happy to give small pieces of advice to you while we walk! Need more? Well now you have a trainer you know and see on the regular- you know you’d feel comfortable working with them on individual lessons!

Make sure you’re following Trail Waggers on Facebook to keep updated on these group walks, and join an event when we start!

We’ll be kicking off special treats very soon!

If you’re already a client, you can look ahead on your calendar in the app and see what treats will be coming up to plan ahead and get your pet on the schedule!

Do you have any guesses what Valentine’s Day’s treat will be? Hint: it’ll be pink and creamy, with a bit of fruit 🐶

Looking to get started with a pet sitting or dog walker in Kitsap county? I’d love to talk and set up a meet and greet!

🎵Allow me to reintroduce myself🎵

Hi! I’m Lyn, the owner of Trail Waggers Pet Care 😊
I grew up in Connecticut, where I was raised having dogs and cats, and eventually started working professionally with animals as well! I continued expanding my knowledge working with animals while I spent 3 years living in North Carolina, where I managed a doggy daycare and boarding facility, and eventually started Trail Waggers 🎉
I’ve now travelled cross country with my husband and my dog, Seal, to Washington where I’m so excited to watch Trail Waggers continue to grow!
Seal is a catahoula mix with ALLLLL the herding breeds and has alllllll the energy of all of them combined 😂 She’s been my little side kick since she was 9 weeks old in 2022, and was the inspiration behind the Trail Waggers logo!

Does your pet need overnight care, or would drop-in care be a fine fit?

Drop-in care is almost always okay for healthy adult dogs and indoor cats- especially if the dog sleeps in a kennel!

Most adult dogs only need to be let out to potty every 4, maybe 5 hours. If you wake up at 6:30am and go to sleep at 9pm, this would be roughly 4-5 times per day. However, lots of us work, so that number may go down to 3-4 times per day! An early morning, afternoon, and late night drop-in may suffice for your dog instead of overnight care!

If your pet needs a medication strictly at the same time everyday (such as insulin, for example), you may want to look into hiring a sitter that offers 24 hour care to ensure that no traffic or other pet emergencies won’t interrupt their schedule to get to your pet.

Is your pet destructive when left home alone? If yes, I would suggest a sitter that can be more available to entertain your pet and keep them from getting into trouble! But, maybe your pet is a couch potato. Drop-ins might be a good option!

Taking your pet’s age and health into account is a very important factor in deciding what type of service is best for you, your pet, and your petsitter. Every pet learns at different speeds, and medical conditions can, of course, affect your decision. For most dogs under 1 or over 9, and cats under 9mo or over 10, I would suggest overnight care, though some puppies and kittens learn house manners quickly, and some senior dogs and cats keep their youth as long as they can!

Want to learn if drop-in care is right for you? Let’s talk about it!

Why does my dog chew things up/ dig through the trashcan/ bolt out of the house/ etc.?

Sometimes it’s a training and “respect” issue, but if your dog is otherwise well trained and these actions have appeared out of “nowhere” it could absolutely simply be boredom, ESPECIALLY if you have a working breed dog.
Often times, our dogs are left for 9+ hours while we work our 8 hour shifts. After an 8 hour workday, who the heck feels like running and playing with their pets?
Having someone you can count on to not only give your dog a potty break, but also walk, run, and play with them can definitely help combat unwanted behaviors.
Lucky for you, Trail Waggers offers 30 minute and 60 minute services for plenty of time to get out that energy! AND, if you have a particularly energetic dog, I even offer extended services at a discounted rate!
