Yes. You can absolutely receive an in-home massage if you have pets. We simply ask that your pets are safely secured or kept in another room during your session so both you and your therapist can enjoy a safe, relaxing, and uninterrupted experience.

Why Should Pets Be in Another Room?

We love animals, but during a massage it's best if pets are temporarily separated from the treatment area.

This helps:

Keep the session relaxing
Prevent interruptions
Avoid accidental scratches or jumps
Protect the massage equipment
Maintain a clean treatment environment
Allow your therapist to move safely around the table

Most pets settle comfortably in another room for the duration of the appointment.

Even friendly pets can become curious.

Dogs may:

Cats may:

For the best experience, we recommend placing pets in another room before your therapist arrives.

What About Small Pets?

Birds, rabbits, reptiles, and other small pets are generally not a problem as long as they remain safely in their enclosure and do not interfere with the treatment.

What If I Have a Service Animal?

Service animals are welcome.

If you have a service animal that needs to remain with you during treatment, please let us know when booking so your therapist can plan accordingly.

Preparing Your Home

Before your appointment:

Secure pets in another room or fenced area.
Provide water and anything they'll need during the session.
Choose a quiet room for your massage.
Make sure there's enough space for the massage table.

These simple steps help create a calm environment for everyone.

Why This Matters

Your therapist needs enough room to move safely around the massage table while focusing on your treatment.

A quiet, distraction-free environment also allows you to fully relax and enjoy the benefits of your massage.
