Let’s talk about dog walks. Check out this wonderful infographic from the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. There are many benefits to maintaining a dog walking schedule, some of which include:
- maintaining yours and your dog’s health
- walking is a bonding with your dog
- social experiences and opportunities to meet other pet guardians (no phone needed!)
- keeps your dog relaxed and mentally stimulated
- keeps your dog out of trouble (boredom can lead to destructive behaviors!)
But time is a major factor in many urban/ suburban homes. We have kids, and zoom meetings, client calls, staff meetings, soccer practice, and list goes on and on! That’s where hiring a professional dog walker can make sure your dog’s walk schedule stays in place when you are juggling all those balls throughout the work week.
Hiring a professional dog walker means you and the walker agree to a set schedule – walk duration and frequency and route. Professionals have many advantages over the hobby walker. Professionals are licensed to operate a business, have insurance, and most importantly have experience and training handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. They’re careful to spot and avoid potential hazards during walks, with the focus on keeping your pet happy and safe. And let’s not forget, professional dog walkers work outside no matter the weather conditions. Rain or shine, your pup is getting out there!
Have peace of mind knowing that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren’t at home. Your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day, so there’s no more stress or guilt with pet guardians thinking about their dogs being home alone 8+ hours everyday. Feel confident you’re providing the best for your dog! Don’t wait until the end of the summer or fully going back to the office to get started. Summer is a great time to establish a relationship and routine with your dog walker. Click that new New Client Intake Form and get started today!
