It makes a big difference for the dogs to receive visits while you are at work or away for extended periods. Dogs are even happy to go for a walk when you are home. Regular walks help improve the dog’s state of mind and provide exercise.

Usually, owners report that pets come home happy after the walk, and stay peaceful all day. Whether a group or a private walk, we provide loving care for your dogs. Make sure to read our Client Feedback for some reviews.

At Thrive Pet Care we realize that good communication is key to building a long-lasting and trusting relationship. We enjoy staying in touch with pet parents by sending walk updates and mobile pics of their pets. Let’s work together and decide what’s best for your dog. A positive outcome and an adventure with every walk awaits.

Services are available for Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, Capitola, Aptos, and Rio Del Mar residents. A driving surcharge for remote areas and special circumstances applies.

HOW DO I SIGN UP MY PET?

To get started, schedule a complimentary in-home consultation for your pet by filling out the Contact Us form. During the consultation, we will get as much information as possible about your pet and your preferences to determine which service and time slot work best for your family. If we decide that your pet is suitable for group services, you will be required to show us proof of current vaccinations and sign a form stating that your dog has shown no aggressive behavior toward other dogs or people.

PET CARE REQUIREMENTS: Your dog must wear an ID tag and have a secured collar or harness for walking.  Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and use tick/flea prevention and Heartguard.

WALKING & DAYTIME VISITS PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY:

Services must be paid in full 24 hrs before service begins. 24-hour notice is required to avoid a cancellation fee.
