Thank you so much for letting our team help support your family with your pet care needs this past year! Our pack is our family, and we are proud to say we now support +180 SOMa families with their essential pet care, socialization, and training needs!

We strive not only to support as many local families as possible, but to make working at Puppy Prep a sustainable career for our valued team members! We feel this commitment ensures your pup receives the highest level of care. Our team is not simply "walking dogs on the side"; they are dedicated pet care professionals who are so very grateful to you that they get to do what they love every day, and that passion and gratitude show in their work every day!

As we do each spring, we are updating our prices for the year to stay current with annual national cost-of-living increases, support our ongoing commitment to staffing only the highest-quality team for your pup, and to ensure that Puppy Prep will be here to support your family for years to come!

The highlights in this year's update are:

• Overnight (in-your-home) Booked Per Day: 
Previously, it was booked per night with added half-day fees based on arrival/departure time on the first and last day. The new method is a half-day discount instead of a fee for the first and last day, based on the same criteria as before.
• Average $6 Service Increase: 
A majority of services increased this year between $4-$7.
• State-wide Insurance Premium & Gas Prices Increases' Impact: 
The highest proportional increase is in Pack Play and Overnight Sitting, due to the increases in our insurance premiums from last year's NJ insurance premium increase allowances and national gas price increases. Unlike many local sitters & group outing/walk teams, Puppy Prep carries a $2M insurance policy that covers our team and your pup; this includes the often left out "optional coverage" riders specifically for transporting pets, group activities, and house-sitting with a broadened property damage coverage. While we proudly have not had to use this policy, we carry it to give you peace of mind and ensure you are 100% covered should anything happen!

We understand that some of these updates may be significant, and we want to ensure your pet still receives the care and socialization they need. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Gabriel at 609-556-5298 any time! We look forward to continuing to support you and your furry friends!!! 

Updated Prices Effective March 29th 2026. Also, for overnight sitting booked and confirmed before March 1st, your rates are locked in, but any additional bookings will reflect the updated prices.
