Just a walkin’ the dog

Walking your dog is about so much more than just making sure they go to the toilet. Walking your dog provides mental stimulation, physical exercise, chances for socialization, and opportunities for behavioral training. It gets both of you out and about while helping to grow the bond you have with your dog.

Remember, too, that a sedentary pooch can quickly become an overweight one, and that brings potential health problems with it. Even if your dog is active inside the home, he or she still needs another outlet for pent-up energy. You’ll benefit from having a well-exercised dog, as tired dogs tend to behave better, and you’ll help your pet avoid unnecessary weight gain!

Sometimes it can be really difficult to make sure your fur-family member gets out for a walk. Maybe you’ve got family commitments or work demands that are keeping you too busy, so much activity can leave you with a lack of energy or patience for your pet.

I offer professional dog walking services that can assist you while you’re managing a difficult time in your life.

I want my customers to feel peace of mind. A sense of relief, contentment and satisfaction from the knowledge that their dog’s needs are being met. I understand that handing over your much loved dog to a virtual “stranger” requires a huge leap of faith. Please know that I do not take the responsibility lightly.

MY SERVICE:

* I do one hour walks

* I pickup and drop off dogs (sometimes owners are home during these times, sometimes they are not and they offer me a way to collect their dog – a key, a garage remote, access to backyard etc… In most instances I have to drive short distances from the dog’s home to a natural setting of my or the owner’s choice.

* I take every dog to a natural setting away from roads and traffic. These settings include dog parks (should the owner approve and want the socialization), nature reserves and walking trails/tracks. I have chosen these settings so that the DOG ENJOYS IT and because of the SAFETY element.

* Some of my customers are short term/temporary (a few weeks if they are away or injured or otherwise unavailable for a specific amount of time). Other customers are long term ( I have been walking their dogs for months on an ongoing basis).
