Services and Rates
Regular Dog Walking
Private Walks around the neighborhood. Get Sparky out and about with his Dog Walker for regular exercise in the mornings. Shorter potty breaks available in afternoons. Note: during hotter months, time spent outside in the afternoon is reduced to 5 minutes or less. As soon as they potty, it's back indoors. Our regular Dog Walking services are billed monthly.
15-Minute Walk ("Potty Break")
Sometimes all you need is for someone to drop by to let your pup out to do their business while you're at work. That's what our 15-minute walk or potty break is for. We'll take great photos, notify you when we've arrived via push notifications, and send you a post-visit report card that includes the route we walked, tracked via GPS.
- $28/walk when booking 3 to 4 walks per week
- $30/walk when booking 1 to 2 per week
- Pricing includes up to 2 dogs
30-Minute Walk
This is our most popular dog walking service. The Standard 30-minute walk. Classic. For pups that need a moderate amount of exercise. Nothing too crazy. As always, we'll take great photos, notify you when we've arrived via push notifications, and send you a post-visit report card that includes the route we took, tracked via GPS.
- $32/walk when booking 3 to 4 per week
- $35/walk when booking 1 to 2 per week

60-Minute Walk
Ah yes - the hour-long session. Boy are we going to get our steps in with this one. For pups that need to blow off a little more steam. We'll bring water with us, take great photos, notify you when we've arrived via push notifications, and send you a post-visit report card that includes the route we took. Not available during Summer months.

Poop Scooping
It's a fact: dogs poop. But you don't have to bother with it if you don't want to. Hire us to come by and take care of Daisy's business for you, because that's our business!
Standard Scooping
A thorough scooping of the yard and disposal of double-bagged waste in a receptacle on-site. If there is no accessible trash bin, the double-bagged waste will be placed on side of house near the gate.
- Billed monthly like a subscription. No Contracts. Cancel anytime with at least a week's notice.
- Pricing includes one scooping per week and up to 2 dogs
Scooping and Haul-away
Like waving a wand and making the poop disappear from your home forever. We'll scoop it up, take it away for you, and dispose of it off-site in a dumpster of one of our local pet care partners.
- Billed monthly like a subscription. No Contracts. Cancel anytime with at least a week's notice.
- Pricing includes one scooping per week and up to 2 dogs
One-Time Scooping
Welp. It's been a while and the poop has accumulated, now threatening to invade Greenland or something. No worries. We got this. We'll bring some extra bags (and maybe an extra hand) and we'll get it taken care of and hauled away.
- Price includes 30 minutes of work. An added $10 fee will apply for every 15-minute increment in which work is required after that (ex: if it takes 65 minutes to complete the scooping, then the job will cost $95)
Daily Scooping
The truth is pet waste contains bacteria and viruses that can transmit disease. For this reason, it is actually ideal to take care of the dreaded chore as soon as possible rather than wait a week. At Burton and Dogs, we are used to daily visits for Walking and Potty Breaks, so we're happy to offer daily Scooping as well.
- Billed monthly like a subscription. No Contracts. Cancel anytime with at least a week's notice.
- Pricing includes 5 weekday scoopings and up to 2 dogs
Pet Sitting
Overnight care and feeding visits for when you're away. Due to our busy Dog Walking schedules, our drop-in service is only available as an add-on to our Overnight Sleepover Service.
Drop-In Visit
If you're going to be away, it's important to ensure that your dogs have human company to care for them. We'll let them out to potty, play with them, feed them, administer medications, and take them for a walk if time permits.
- 20-Minute Drop-ins: $20
- 30-Minute Drop-ins - $30
- 60-Minute Extended Visit - $50
- Only available as add-on to Sleepover service
Overnight House Sitting
An overnight stay in your home, including coverage from 6pm to 6am (and sometimes later if we sleep in a bit). 10 to 12 hours spent in the house during this time frame. Additional visits (Drop-Ins) must be scheduled during day for coverage outside of these hours for midday check-ins, for example.
- 15-minute walk included
- most chores included
- Daily texts and photo updates
Overnight Live-In
A premium overnight stay in your home that includes 15 or more hours in the house per day. We temporarily move in and pretend we live there until you return. We won't leave the house for longer than 4 hours at a time. No need to schedule additional visits during the day.
- coverage from the hour you need us there on the first day to the same hour the next and so on (24-hr period)
Pet Photography
Connor here. I've been told dozens of times that I need to offer a Pet Photography service, so I think it's time that I actually do that. The vast majority of the photos that appear on this site were taken by me, on my phone. Maybe one day I'll invest in a professional camera system, but for now, I think my S25 Ultra is up to most pet-related photo-taking tasks. Here is my take on Pet Photography.
Full Resolution Photos
We're already caring for your dogs and taking great photos, if we do say so ourselves. Typically these photos are sent via text or email where they are compressed. If there's a photo you receive this way that you really like and want the full resolution of, we will create a Google Photos folder and deliver it to you in all of it's crystal-clear HD glory.
- Unedited Digital Photos
- For active clients only
- $20/pack of 5
Photography Walk
An up to an hour-long walking session during a time of day of your choosing in which I get as many awesome and unique photos as I can (but at least 10). Full resolution photos delivered next-day to a Google Photos folder that's all yours.
- Unedited Digital Photos
- Taken With S25 Ultra
- Compressed photos delivered same day; full res photos next day
- Available to anyone
All payments are due in full the day before first scheduled service. If payment isn't submitted by the first day, then we will run the card on file to secure payment. Pet Sitting stays require a 50% deposit to reserve dates (refundable via store credit if cancelled with 30 day's notice)

Time To Pet
When you sign up for an account with us, you'll do so through our software partner, Time To Pet. Time To Pet is a premium pet care software that keeps everything related to running a professional dog walking and pet sitting company organized. This enables us to show up to each of our visits on time, every time. While not a requirement to hire us, clients are also encouraged to download the Time To Pet mobile app for the best experience. We send push notifications whenever we start a visit as well as send fun, sometimes humorous post-visit reports right to your phone once we're finished at the house (examples below).
Our Walks Are Tracked Via GPS
People love to know where we took their pets during exercise sessions and Time To Pet makes that possible. Each of our walks are tracked via GPS and our routes are visible in the post-visit report cards that you'll receive after each service event.
