Starting something new—especially when it comes to your dog—can feel a little nerve-wracking. At Rustic Paw Adventures, we get it. That’s why our Meet & Greet is designed to be relaxed, informative, and all about making sure both you and your pup feel completely at ease.
Whether you’ve booked your very first walk or you’re exploring ongoing care, this initial visit helps us build trust and set the stage for a tail-wagging partnership.
What We’ll Go Over Together
Think of the Meet & Greet as a casual intro with purpose. We’ll spend about 20–30 minutes getting to know one another, and we’ll cover:
- Temperament & Behavior: Is your dog shy, playful, reactive, or somewhere in between? Understanding your pup’s personality helps us create a walking experience they’ll enjoy.
- Leash Manners: We’ll talk about how your dog does on leash, any commands they respond to, and how they typically behave around other dogs or distractions.
- Routine & Preferences: We’ll go over feeding schedules (if applicable), favorite treats or toys, potty habits, and anything else that keeps your dog happy and safe during our visits.
What You Should Have Ready
To make the most of our time together, it’s helpful if you have the following items ready:
- Veterinary Information: Including vaccination records and your preferred vet’s contact details. (You’ll also receive a simple Veterinary Release Form to sign—just in case.)
- House Access Details: If we’ll be entering your home when you’re away, we’ll need a spare key or details for a lockbox. We’ll also go over our key handling policy for your peace of mind.
- Dog Tags & License: Local regulations require current ID tags and licenses. Having them ready ensures we’re good to go from day one.
Next Steps
After the Meet & Greet, here’s what happens:
- Set Up Your Client Portal: You’ll receive a link to create your account in Time to Pet, our easy-to-use scheduling and payment system.
- Customize Your Walk Plan: Choose the frequency and style of visits that work best for your dog’s energy level and your routine.
- Sign Your Service Agreement: We’ll send over the finalized contract for you to review and sign online.
- First Walk Scheduled! Once everything’s confirmed, we’ll officially get started—and your pup’s next adventure begins.
