We are called Animal Spirit Wellness, because we show constant spiritual love to our family members. Not only do we care for their physical well being, what's more important is that we care for their Spirit within. I believe every precious animal should have daily inner peace, it keeps them calm & happy. That's why I go to the extreme for them, and I'd like to do the same for your loved ones.
When you can't be home for them, whether because of work, vacation or other obligations, you can be rest assured they'll be with an honest individual. Someone who will give them true compassionate care. We are trustworthy, reliable and are based on the belief that our clients' needs and the "wellness" of your family member is of the utmost importance. You want honest, quality care, along with the confidence in knowing you made an excellent decision by allowing us to be there for you and your loved one.
Spiritual Wellness is the very essence of our being. In addition to offering you our communicative
dog walking and pet camping services, we are house bunnies too! We love helping & talking with our homebound elders who have pets. We run errands & do quick cleans for them as well. We specialize in rabbits, hamsters and reptiles.We also deal with boorish bullheaded people!
All are welcome aboard Boaz Ark.
We don't walk in large groups, four is our maximum. We have an unlimited amount of patience and give them (with your permission) healthy animal treats when earned. We walk with hydration packs, supply our own waste bags and use double-safety leashes.
You can always relax knowing that your loved ones are in GRR-8 hands! We send you status text messages and/or leave you friendly notes to keep you informed. Choose your schedule and the services you want and we'll do the rest! We'll treat your loyal furriness and your home with much respect and cleanliness as we do our own.

F.A.Q.'s...
Question: How many dogs do you walk at one time?
Answer: We walk dogs two at a time. Tiny, small pocket doggies can be walked three or four at most, at one time. For aggressive or difficult to walk dogs who must walk solo, there is an additional $5 fee for this reason.
Question: Will my pet always have the same walker?
Answer: Yes. If you're on a regular schedule with us, you will have the same dog walker for every visit. On occasion, there will be a family back-up walker when your regular walker is on vacation or sick. We will ALWAYS have a walker available for your dog, your loved one will never be neglected.
Question: Why do you require payment before services are rendered?
Answer: We require all fees be paid in advance so that we avoid being paid late and you avoid paying late charges. We will give you receipts for all transactions. Of course, if any changes occur to your schedule, we can either refund to you that amount that same week or we can credit you for the next. This avoids uncomfort for everyone involved.
Question: How do you work with homebound elders?
Answer: We offer special rates to our homebound elders who need our pet services, as well as volunteering an additional 30 minutes of our time with them at no extra cost.This may consist of errands, sitting & talking, doing some quick cleans, whatever they may need assistance with at that time. So long as it does not exceed our 30 minute time slot.
We will not administer any medications at all to elder people for any reason.
Question: Why is it you volunteer your time to others? What's the catch?
Answer: There are absolutely no catches or vindictive motives behind our kindness.
If we can give such a small amount of our free time, and get such large amounts of joy in return from their laughter & contented happy hearts, then this to me is worth millions.
Question: Why do we have to meet before you start visiting us?
Answer: We want to get information about your loved ones before we begin visits, and we want to ensure that everyone is comfortable with their sitter or walker.
Question: How do I contact my dog walker?
Answer: You will receive immediate responses from your walker anytime via phone calls or text messaging. If there is a need for indepth inquiries, please call or email during early AM or PM hours.Any pertinent contact information you need will be distributed to you upon our first visit. You may leave notes for your walker to read upon arrival, and you'll receive your reply along with your dog's status note, letting you know how the walk went for that day.
Question: May I tip or gift my walker or sitter?
Answer: Yes! We are sincerely appreciative of hearts as BIG as ours!
Question: Can you administer medication to my pet?
Answer: Yes. There is no additional charge for administering medication(s) to your pet during our visit. We are experienced with insulin shots as well as being VERY cautious as to med time schedules.
We will not administer any meds to elder people at all for any reason.
Question: Why do you request two sets of keys?Answer: This applies only if you DO NOT have Consierge service, it is recommended but not mandatory. We are VERY cautious and never lost a key yet, but things can happen! In the rare case where keys may be locked inside the apartment or temporarily misplaced by your walker at their home. By having a second set, we won't have to bother you whilst at work, and mostly, your pet won't have to be inconvenienced waiting for the problem to be resolved! They can be back at home snackin' & relaxin'!
One set of keys is locked away in a safebox in case of a rare emergency. Your daily regular walker holds the other set of keys. If you're a regular client of five daily walks per week, we offer making the additional set at our cost. If for any reason you choose to cancel our services, both sets of keys will be returned to you upon that date. We will then require you to sign a surrendered keys receipt as well.
IN CASE OF LOSS, WE DO NOT ADDRESS NOR APT. LABEL ANY KEYS!
Question: *What is Native American Day?
Answer: We want to move Columbus Day back to its original date..the second Wednesday in Oct. We want Native American Day to be changed from Sept. 5 and recognized on the second Monday in October.
