Our Policies


  • Canine field trips/outings are offered on normal workdays. Weekend and holiday hikes may be available for existing clients as per special arrangement and a higher rate.
  • Dogs four months of age or older who go on hikes are required to wear a current Marin County dog license and an ID tag. In addition, Paws in Motion requires a copy of your dog(s) vaccinations (Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella)
  • Dogs who go on hikes and/or utilize Sleepover or Day Care services must use some type of flea and tick treatment due to their potential exposure to these pests.
  • All services must be paid in advance.
  • There is a $25 fee for returned checks.
  • Changes and cancellations of sleepover reservations should be made at least 4 weeks in advance, in particular during Thanksgiving, Christmas, school holidays and summer vacations (June through August) to minimize cancellation fees. 
  • Please provide at least 24 hour notice for changes in canine outing reservations.
  • Paws in Motion pricing and policies are subject to change at any time.

We all hit the jackpot when we found you. Thank you for being so much more than a dog walker to us!! Our pups love you and it really brings us joy to see.
