Top 5 Dog Walkers in Fairfield

When I go for a walk, I like to see how active is the dog and if they are comfortable running or just walking. If the dogs like to run, I will run. If they like to walk, I will walk. I like to walk active dogs for about an hour at least. I would like to see how well the dogs behaves with other dogs while walking and if it is too much of a distraction then I will walk the dog by itself. I like to bring a portable bowl with me and water to give the dog when I see he/she it is panting too much. If the walks are for about an hour, I also like to take breaks if the dog is too tired. I like to bring treats in case they do something that should be rewarded. I like to change the paths I take when walking because I like variety, and I feel dogs would get bored if they see the same stuff every day. I have experience with dogs that pull so I know how to control them when walking. If I see another dog that's coming towards the dog and me, I always like to walk to the other sidewalk because I never know how the other dog might react to me or the dog I am walking. I like to bring a stick with me just in case a loose dog comes to attack us. I prefer to walk dogs by themselves if they are a large breed.

I would walk leisurely, I am comfortable with up to 3 times at a time, depending on the situation. Depending on the needs of your pup I could do more of a hike with hills and different surfaces, or something to a simple side walk. I also have lots of experience in training and am more than happy to aid in leash training!

Your doggy will be walked either in your neighborhood, or in a nearby public park or hiking destination if you are interested. I go at your doggies pace and I am flexible for timing. I walk doggies one family at a time. I walk at parks including Rockville regional park and Pena Adobe lagoon park.

When I take a dog on a walk in will usually be for about 30 minutes or more. Depending on the amount of dogs that I am watching at the moment, it could be solo or there could be multiple dogs. I can take them to the park, throw a ball/frisbee, or explore new places.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Fairfield

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Fairfield, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Fairfield. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
