Frequently Asked Questions...

Why are you more expensive than other dog
walkers/sitters?
 Dog's Best Friend is more
expensive because, unlike other walkers who
often walk 10-15 dogs at one time, we walk
ONLY your dog(s).  Walkers that walk so many
dogs usually use Prong Collars or Choke Chains.  
However, we NEVER use Prongs or Chokes.  
They can be harmful to your dogs' health and to
their emotional well-being.

Are you bonded and insured?  Yes.  Everyone on
our staff is bonded and insured.

Can you walk my aggressive dog?  Absolutely!
In fact we specialize in handling dogs that enjoy
being alone rather than with other dogs.  If
your dog is leash aggressive or is people shy,
have no fear, Rebecca and Melinda are both
Certified Dog Trainers and have extensive
experience in dealing with sensitive dogs.  We
never use punishment, Prong Collars or Choke
Chains to handle these dogs.  We use our
Positive Reinforcement Training Skills instead.

Can I call you at the last minute to walk my
dog?
If you're a current client that we've
already met, the answer is definitely Yes.  
We'll always try to fit your pooch into our
schedule (same day bookings cannot be cancelled
as they are
outside the cancellation period.  
Service fees will be applied if cancelled).

But what if I've never met you?  In order to
care for your dog, we must meet you
and your
pooch
first and get all his/her information.  
Plus, we need to make sure they approve of us!  
If interested in our services, please call 310-
990-6735 to set up a consultation.

Why do you put dogs in seat belts?  Automobile
accidents are one of the leading causes of death
for canine companions.  It is extremely
dangerous for dogs to run free in cars.  If you
slam on the breaks, the dog can go through the
windshield, or become a fast moving torpedo and
slam right into you, injuring both of you. All our
caregivers are fully equipped with all sizes of
seatbelt to fit any breed of dog.

I've seen other dog walkers load lots of dogs
into their cars and drive around all day with
those dogs, even when it's hot. Do you do this?
Never!  We only transport your dog(s) and that
is done only from Point A (your home) to Point B
(dog park or wherever else you've requested).  
We do not drive around all day with several dogs
in the car.  This is dangerous, especially when
it's hot
!

Can you provide references?  Yes.  We have
many happy clients throughout the South Bay
and will gladly provide a list.  You can read
