What are the benefits of dog walking?
Regular dog walks help keep your pup healthier.
Just like us, dogs benefit greatly from regular exercise. Maintain a healthy weight. Better joint health. Regulates the digestive and urinary systems. Better mental and emotional health.
Mental stimulation means less destructive dogs.
When dogs have something fun to do during the day, they are less likely to be destructive in your home. Dogs can easily become bored during the day and a daily dog walk can be an easy fix for many behavioral problems.
Happier dogs and better socialization.
When your dog has a daily dog walk, they get to explore the neighborhood, sniff new scents, see wildlife, and experience other people with their pets. Dogs are social creatures and exposure to the outdoors allows for a better adjusted dog.
Fewer behavioral problems.
Our expert dog walkers will reinforce any training you have been providing your dog and will notify you of any behavioral issues so they can be addressed. Your dog walker will also teach proper leash skills, and reinforce basic training skills.
Tell Me More About Your Dog Walking Service.
Our dog walking service is not your run-of-the-mill dog walking service. We offer private one-on-one dog walks which are customizable according to your dog’s needs.
Your dog walker utilizes a mobile app which tracks their GPS location and our office monitors their routes to verify their walks and your dog’s location at all times.
Safety is our # 1 priority.
What days do you provide dog walks?
We provide dog walking services 365 days out of the year.
Do you walk dogs during inclement weather?
We walk dogs 365 days a year in every type of weather, including rain, snow and summer heat. However, your dog’s safety is our # 1 priority so we may alter walk lengths to ensure the comfort and health of your dog in the event of extreme weather.
Will I have the same dog walker every time?
You will be assigned a primary dog walker based on the needs of your dog. We assign dog walkers that will best fit the personality of your dog. While we try to keep the same dog walker on all visits, we may utilize additional staff members to provide coverage in the event your primary dog walker is unavailable.
Are you going to walk my dog(s) with other dogs?
All of our dog walks are private at this time. Your dog will receive one-on-one attention from your personal dog walker.
Your Dog Is Your Best Friend. Help Him Live a Longer, Healthier Life With a Daily Dog Walk.
Dog Walks In Your Neighborhood.
There’s no denying that exercise is just as important to man’s best friend as it is to humans. Our dog walks provide important health benefits and lots of fun for your pooch while ensuring their safety.
We are certified in pet first aid and CPR and our dog walkers undergo a rigorous background check for your dog’s safety.
Your dog’s safety is our #1 priority and we’ll make sure your pup comes back home safely. Though we’ve never needed it, at-risk dogs will wear a GPS so your dog walker can locate your dog should he get loose.
