As devoted pet lovers, we understand that your pets are a part of your family. A dog walker can provide pet care services for all of your furry loved ones.

Exercise and discipline are key elements in raising a healthy, balanced, and happy best friend. Daily walks are essential to a dog’s daily routine and boost metabolism, maintain a healthy body weight, soothe anxiety, and strengthen the bond between human and canine.  The dog walker business is alive and well and essential for today’s busy pet parents.

If you are looking for a good dog walker, here are a few attributes to keep in mind:

• Makes eye contact with their dogs and speaks to their dogs periodically through the walk.
• Sees a problem way ahead of time and avoids it with plenty of space to spare.
• Carries backup equipment: They never know if they’ll need a backup leash, collar, etc.
• They are not on their cell phone through the walks.
• Should notice if a dog is limping, has a loose stool, throws up and/or has low energy, among other things.
• A good dog walker will give their dogs lots of love!
• Watch this NYC dog walker in action!  Such control over a large group of city dogs!
