We Know You Trust DOTR; Here’s Why a Consultation Still Matters

We’re honored by the trust you place in Dogs On The Run. Every professional in our network is thoroughly vetted, experienced, and held to the highest standards. But even with that level of care, not every professional is the perfect fit for every home or pet—and that’s okay.

That’s why we strongly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with your matched professional before any services begin.

It’s About Connection, for You and Your Pet

Your pet senses energy and body language. Meeting their care provider in person allows them to adjust, feel safe, and build trust—well before a leash is clipped on or a meal is served.

This first impression sets the tone for a calm, successful experience.

Set Expectations Clearly

An in-home consultation gives you the opportunity to:

• Show where important items are located (leashes, meds, food)

• Review your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences

• Share house access details (key, gate, garage code)

• Set clear expectations for how you want things done

Remember: you’re the expert on your pet, and this is your time to set your professional up for success.

Compatibility Matters

While we work hard to match you with the right person, this is your chance to make sure the fit feels right. Do they communicate well? Do you feel comfortable? Does your pet seem relaxed around them?

If it’s not quite right, we’ll help you find a professional who is.

When Virtual Consults Are Necessary

If you're traveling or unavailable, a virtual meet-and-greet is a helpful starting point. But when possible, we always recommend a brief in-person visit before the first service to ensure everyone feels confident and informed.

You trust DOTR. Now let your pet build trust with the professional caring for them.
In-person consultations create clarity, comfort, and connection, for your family and theirs.
