Dog Walking Visits

Do you run out of time in the day to give your dog a proper walk?  The kind of walk that they’d love and enjoy.  We started offering dog walking 30 years ago to alleviate the stress of busy professionals working downtown, who couldn’t leave the city to take their precious pooch out for even a quick potty break, let alone a proper walk during their lunch hour.

Generally, our clients have us come once a day, Monday – Friday between 11 am and 2 pm.

However, some people work earlier or later in the day, so we set our walk times from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to accommodate a mid-day visit.  We’ve had puppy clients twice a day at 9 am and 2 pm, Monday – Friday as well, just to give some ideas of how others use the service.

We also have clients that will set a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday schedule while their pup attends Daycare on Tuesday/Thursday – so that their pups get more doggy socialization but are not overworked to the extent that it is too much for their pup.  Most quality dog daycares will allow for a Monday/Wednesday/Friday or a Tuesday/Thursday schedule for the doggies to attend so that they don’t overdo their Little bodies!  We will visit on the days they aren’t at daycare so they have a walk or a swim in the pool during the day.

Pricing varies depending on the frequency of visits per week.

Note: We also offer 1 off-visits as availability allows. If you are a current client and we have your key on file, maybe you’ve had our pet-sitting services and your pup needs an occasional dog walk or potty break, we will do our best to fit your fur baby into our schedule, however, please know, that our regular weekly dog walks do take priority, so we ask you to get your schedule request in as soon as you know you’ll need a mid-day visit.

Puppy Visits

Puppies!!
Who doesn’t Love Puppies?

Well, we LOVE Puppies AND we also know how much work they can be!  They need a consistent routine as their bladders are developing and they are getting into a lifelong routine into their senior years.

For our puppy friends (up to about 6 months), our visits generally consist of changing out potty pads, cleaning out their crates or Pens, or wherever they are secured for the day because it is rare that a puppy doesn’t get themselves into some kinda trouble before we arrive for our 1st visit.  They are puppies, it’s what they do best!  We also generally start with taking them out to go potty and wet as well as getting their energy out, and playing in the yard vs. going for a walk and sometimes feeding as well.

Depending on how they do on a leash and where they are at in their leash training and walking, we will start on short walks to get them out and about and work with them on their walking skills so that we reinforce what they are already learning.  However, walking a young puppy on a leash is generally not advisable until they are several months old because of their unique development level.

Each puppy is unique, so we will modify our visits as they grow and change and we’ll adapt their visits into walks as they grow!
