Spooky season may be coming to an end but we are just getting started! Which one of our office dogs is the scariest of them all?

Poppy, Elsa, Yoshi, or little Poppy? We think we might know the answer!

Katie noticed the difference with Selena and Ava. Same hour, same neighborhood, but the kind of walk a dog is still thinking about at dinner.

That part is hard to put in a service description and easy to feel when you get home.

Thank you for sharing this, Katie. And thank you to Selena!

Some birthday wishes require a little extra coordination! 🎂

When a last-minute request came in for a photographer for Sammy’s birthday party, our Concierge Team found a solution in under 90 minutes! A big thank-you to Kae E. for jumping in to capture Sammy’s special day. 📸

At Dogs On The Run®, we love finding ways to make life a little easier for Pet Parents, even when the request is a little out of the ordinary!

Happy Birthday, Sammy! 🥳🐶

Happy National Cat Day! 🐈

Our name says dogs, so people are often surprised by how many of our visits are for cats. Medication schedules, the one acceptable brand of food, the window seat that gets checked on a timetable.

There is a real difference between someone who tolerates cats and someone who really gets them and loves them - and cat people can tell within about thirty seconds.

Here is to all the cats who decided we were alright!

Independent doesn’t mean doing it all alone! ❤️

Behind every great DOTR Pet Care Professional is a community that cares.

This past Friday, our Dogs On The Run® community came together for a Pet Care Professional Mixer. We couldn’t be more grateful for every person who makes this community what it is!

Elevating pet care means more than providing exceptional care to pets. It means supporting the people behind that care, creating space for meaningful conversations, and continuing to learn from one another!

We’re especially grateful to Nancy G., a pet loss and grief counselor, who shared insights on pet loss and navigating the heartbreak of saying goodbye to a beloved pet who has been in your care for years. We also heard from Michelle H., an independent certified dog trainer, on canine behavior and safety, helping every dog handler feel more informed and prepared.

And, of course, there was plenty of laughter, connection, and time spent with people who understand the joys and challenges of this important work! 🥳

To our independent Pet Care Professionals, thank you for being part of this community. The care you give matters, and so do the people who give it. We’re proud to keep learning, growing, and elevating pet care together. 🐾

The holidays are full of delicious food, but not everything on the table is safe for our pets.

Chocolate, grapes and raisins, onions and garlic, xylitol, alcohol, certain nuts, cooked bones, and rich foods can all pose risks. And with guests, busy kitchens, unattended plates, and curious pets, opportunities for trouble can multiply.

Our latest article covers common food dangers and simple ways to keep your pets safe throughout the holiday season.

A little preparation now can help keep the holidays happy, healthy, and out of the emergency vet's office. 🐾

A first stay does not have to be the first time.

Connie booked Lucy a day visit before committing to anything longer, so Lucy could meet Jan, see her home, and get the lay of the place while the stakes were low. Photos came through during the day. Lucy came home happy.

The overnights are now booked for later this month.

Thank you for sharing this, Connie. And thank you to Jan.
