Here's how to get started with Steppin’ Woof!:

Fill Out the New Client Form

Tell us a bit about you, your pets, and what kind of care you’re looking for. This gives us everything we need to set you up in our system and send you an invitation to our client portal (Time to Pet).

Once your portal is activated, you’ll be able to enter key info, request services, and communicate with us easily. We’ll review everything and reach out via email to schedule your complimentary Meet & Greet.

Meet & Greet Time!

We’ll come by to meet you and your pets in person. This is where we’ll:

  • Get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and special needs

  • Review your care agreement and answer any questions

  • Discuss your goals and preferences

  • Build a customized care plan just for you

Trial Service

After the Meet & Greet, we’ll schedule your first trial service to make sure everything runs smoothly. From there, we’ll finalize your ongoing schedule and services—tailored to your needs.

Plus, enjoy easy scheduling through the Time to Pet app!

Why We Cost a Little More Than the Big Apps — And Why it’s Worth it!

When you book with Steppin’ Woof!, you’re investing in more than just a walk — you’re choosing a service that prioritizes personalized care, reliability, and fairness.

Unlike big apps, where workers often earn the bare minimum, we make sure our walkers and sitters are paid fairly for their time and dedication. That means your pet is cared for by people who feel valued, respected, and motivated to give your furry family member the best experience possible.

You also get the peace of mind that comes with direct communication, flexible scheduling, and consistent care from familiar faces. Your pet isn’t just another appointment — they’re treated like family, with attention to their unique personality, routine, and needs.

By choosing Steppin’ Woof!, you’re supporting a business that cares just as much about people as it does about pets. And that little extra you pay goes directly toward making sure your pet — and the people who love them — are treated right.

We’re bonded, insured, Pet CPR certified, and proudly eco-conscious. Whether it’s a midday stroll, a weekend stay, or a vet run you don’t have time for, we’re here to make your life easier and your pet’s tail wag harder.
