Dog Walking Services

In today’s busy lifestyles, it can be difficult to find the time to give your dog the exercise he needs. When you spend long hours at work, then come home and have to take the kids to their various activities, plus find time to eat and a few minutes of down-time for yourself, poor Fido may be left out in getting his required daily exercise. If this is the case in your house, or if you just want to be able to spend a relaxing time with your pet, without having to worry about his exercise healthy, then you may want to look into getting a dog walking service.



Dog walking services will help your dog get the daily exercise he requires. Then you do not have to worry about it. There are many professional dog walking companies, or if you wish you can hire a personal dog walker. A personal dog walker is usually a private person you hire to take your dog for a walk for a set length of time each day. You can hire a friend or even a young person to do this task for you. Many personal dog walkers advertise their services in your local newspaper, or you can ask around at your veterinarian’s office or pet shops for reputable dog walkers.

Dog walking companies also will walk your dog for a certain length of time each day, from a half hour to as much as 2 hours at a time, ensuring that your pet gets adequate exercise. Some companies also have a requirement that you must walk your dog a set amount of times per week, such as 3 times a week. 

Most companies will pick up your pet at your home or office, and if you live in a large city, will transport your pet to a suitable site for the exercise. Sometimes it may be necessary for the company to have a key to your home or apartment in order for them to pick up your pet. When choosing a company, make sure that they are reputable, bonded and insured.

These dog walking companies not only walk your pet, but will play ball with them or do some other activity to ensure that your pet is exercised. As well as providing solo dog walking, they also will do this in a dog group environment which will enable your dog to socialize with other dogs too. The dogs will be able to play together, or walk together while leashed. Most companies will have a limit on the number of dogs that are walked together, but it is wise to check on this policy of the company you choose. The companies also may group compatible dogs to walk together, but not necessary group them by breed or even size.

As mentioned, the dog walking companies will transport your pet to a suitable exercise area. Sometimes they have a facility or their own yard where the exercise will take place. Other times your dog may be taken to a dog park for his run and play time, or sometimes, if available, a beach area or nature trail is chosen.

Before booking with a dog walking service, you will be required to meet with the staff to allow them the opportunity to meet with you and your pet, and ensure compatibility.
As suggested, it is wise to research the company you choose to make sure they are reputable, but you also may want to know what qualifications the person walking your dog possesses. For example, do they have experience in dealing with more than one dog? What is their practice in dealing with dog fights? Do they know canine first aid in case of emergencies? And it is most important to get references from the company, and to check them. As well, you will want a dog walking service company that has medical requirements for their pet clients to ensure your dog does not catch anything from the other dogs he interacts with.

Pricing will vary for dog walking services depending on the company you choose, the area you live in, the length of time you want your dog walks to be, or whether you wish solo or group walks.  You may also pay more if the company does more for your dog than just walking them, like playing ball or Frisbee with them. It is up to you to check around for a suitable company that offers the services you want for your pet.

As another note, even if you walk your dog every day religiously, there may be certain times that come up when this may not be possible. Say perhaps you are going away on vacation or a business trip. You may not wish to trust a family member to walk your dog daily. You may be more comfortable hiring a dog walking service for the duration of your absence.

One thing to note about dog walking services is that not every service is the same. If one company is not right for your pet, there are many others to choose from. And, be aware that pet sitting services and dog walking companies may not be right for every dog either. It may be that your dog is too aggressive or not in the best of health to take advantage of these services. Unfortunately, then the onus is on you to ensure your pet gets his exercise in other ways.
