Your dog walks are booked. Use this simple checklist to prepare so every walk goes smoothly.

Meet & Greet

  • Confirm your address and entry instructions with your walker before the first walk.
  • Walk through entry, key or lockbox, and alarm instructions.
  • Go over your dog’s routine, behaviour, triggers, and special needs as applicable.
  • Share preferred routes, walk length, and pace.
  • Show where the leash, harness, treats, towel, and waste bags are kept.
  • Share your emergency contact details and your veterinarian’s information, and explain what to do in an emergency.
  • Agree on how often you would like updates and photos. These can be shared through the platform.
  • Point out household rules, security instructions, and any escape risks.

Before Each Walk

  • Check that the leash, harness, and collar are in good condition and fit well.
  • Make sure your dog’s ID tag and microchip contact details are up to date.
  • Leave treats, waste bags, and a towel where agreed.
  • Tell your walker about anything new: health changes, behaviour changes, or hazards on your street.

During & After the Walks

  • Keep your phone reachable in case your walker has questions.
  • Watch for updates and photos through Hello Marshy.
  • Read your walker’s notes after each walk and flag anything unusual.
  • Report any concerns through Hello Marshy, and leave a review once the booking is complete.
