House Rules
Like any business, we have some rules that make things go more smoothly and help alleviate confusion in some situations. Please read thorough the following information and get in touch with us if you have any questions!
Possessive and Territorial Dogs
NWP will not accept furmily members who are possessive or territorial. This type of behavior may be dangerous. Many dogs that show territorial responses are often fearful and anxious and just want the intruder to leave. For safety reasons we do not force pets to do anything they do not want to do. For our safety and theirs. We highly encourage those with territorial pets, who wish to have a pet sitter in the future to seek dog training prior hiring a pet sitter.
