The time and date on the electronic stampers used by Doodlebug dog walkers is set in our office, and requires a passcode to change. This ensures the accuracy of the stamp. However, when the clocks change we must collect the time stamps, update the times, and then redistribute them. As a result for a week or so around November 6th, you may notice your walker hand writing the times of service in. This will just be a temporary change during this transition period. We hope you are all enjoying our new timestamp guaranteed service. We appreciate all the positive feedback we have received from clients!

Veteran's Day - We're Coming! Veteran's Day is NOT a Doodlebug holiday and we will be coming for regularly scheduled mid day dog walks. If you will be home on Thursday November 11th and do NOT need scheduled midday walks, please email the office at doodlebugdogwalker@yahoo.com. Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year's Pet Sitting! It's amazing how quickly time flies, but the holidays are once again on their way! If you are interested in Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's pet sitting, please contact us as soon as possible. We will have a reduced staff available as many of our pet sitters choose to take these dates off to be with their family. By booking early we can ensure you a spot with one of our pet sitters. Service is first come, first booked; until we are all booked up. So please do not wait until the last minute, as we prefer to give our existing clients priority! Remember, regular contracted midday daily walks do not occur on holidays, unless separately scheduled. Doodlebug recognized holidays include: New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Day After Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Pet Name: Skippy, Stewie and Lexi Owner: Patrick and Denise Why they were chosen: Skippy, Stewie and Lexi are just the sweetest dogs. They are lovingly spoiled (in a great way) by their Mom and Dad. Stewie will be appearing in the upcoming Fashion Show called Fashion 4 Paws and Skippy attended the “Top Dog” Contest. Of course, Lexi is the princess of the house. These dogs have such unique personalities and are so loved!

We are happy to announce that Doodlebug Dog Walker is now a Platinum level corporate sponsor of the Prince William SPCA! We are thrilled to be able to give back to such a worthy cause! Take moment to see all the great work the PWSPCA is doing with their neuter commuter service, and while on the site, why not take a moment to see who is up for adoption? www.pwspca.org
