Dog walking in Fez during a long stay abroad: who takes care of it?

garde-animauxpromenade-chienfesanimaux

In short. You live or travel away from Morocco for a long time, and your dog stays in Fez. Who walks it? This page answers one question at a time. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with an independent professional; the quote is tailored and free, and payment comes after the service.

Where do I start when I am far away?

With the person, not the leash. Asking a relative or neighbour works for a short trip, but a long absence wears down family goodwill quickly. Dog walking on AdomApp lets you describe what you need, receive proposals and pick an independent professional. Adom connects you; it does not employ the person.

How do I write the request from abroad?

Write it as carefully as if you were on the spot: exact address, how long you will be away, the days and times you want walks, the dog's size, and anything that might raise a question. There is no listed price: the quote is tailored and free on AdomApp. First proposals usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours. If you are not in Fez, ask early, so you have time to compare options and talk before you leave.

What does a stranger not know about my dog?

Everything you take for granted: its name and how you call it, how it behaves around other dogs, its walking habits, what it dislikes, and the lead or harness it is used to. Add the name and number of your usual vet, which the person will only use if needed, since they carry out no medical act. Put it all on one sheet and hand it over before you go.

How do I handle access to the home from a distance?

This is the trickiest part when you are away. Do not hand over your keys to someone you have not yet met: ask a trusted relative to introduce the person or stand in for you on the first day, or arrange a meeting before you leave. Also say where the lead is kept, how to lock the door, and whether the building entrance needs explaining.

Does being in Fez change anything?

Fez has two medinas, Fès el-Bali and Fès Jdid, and a Ville Nouvelle. The medina is pedestrian and a truck cannot get in: if you live there, say so, so the person knows they will walk to your door. Fez is also an inland city north-west of the Atlas, ringed by hills, but that tells us nothing about your dog's usual routes; just say where it is used to going out.

How will I hear how it is going, and when do I pay?

Agree with the person, before you leave, how you would like to receive news and how often. Payment comes after the service. If something does not go as planned, tell the person and, if needed, your contact on site.
