Daily Report Cards

There are times when your dog doesn’t need a full walk—just a quick visit to stretch their legs, go potty, and enjoy a little companionship. Whether it’s for a puppy still in potty training, a senior with a small bladder, or any dog who needs a midday check-in, our Relief Breaks are designed to keep them comfortable, cared for, and happy until you’re home.

The Problem with Skipping a Midday Break

Going too long without a potty break can cause discomfort, stress, and even health issues for your dog. Puppies and seniors in particular need more frequent breaks, and without them, accidents or anxiety can happen.

Our Solution: Short, Loving Visits That Make a Difference

At Paws at Play, our Relief Breaks are quick but meaningful:

A 15-minute visit at your home or preferred address.
A chance for your dog to go potty, stretch, and get fresh air.
Cuddles, play, or quiet companionship based on your dog’s needs.

Updates with photos and notes through our Time to Pet app so you know exactly how they’re doing.
