Walks will be mostly leisurely, but since every dog is different with different needs, walks will always be tailored to what the dog needs. I confirm with the owner if the dog has a "set walk" that they like to take and if there are any health or behavior concerns (such as encountering other dogs or animals on the walk). I always bring a clean portable bowl and a bottle of water in case a water break is needed.

I am a young female who absolutely lives and breathes animals! I have two Goldens that are the absolute loves of my life! I truly believe animals are pure living souls, who are the best friends Any one can have! Currently , I volunteer at the local no kill animal shelter . I socialize , walk, feed, and love on them. I have also volunteered at a Veterinarians office in Texas: that was quite the learning experience! Lol!

In addition to TONS of affection and attention , your pets will also have a huge yard (we live in a fenced yard on an acre with a large pool to swim if their desire desire!) Plenty of room to run and play fetch as long as they want!

Walking a dog/dogs require physical strength depending on the dog. My walks tend to be leisurely, however, I can have active walks if need be. From my experience with walking dogs, I can walk up to two dogs to provide the full attention I need to give them all. During the process of walking a dog, I will show love and affection towards the dogs for them to be comfortable with me.

This is all depending on the pet, or what the owner wants for their pet! I can be active, or slow, or both! I can walk one dog, or two, maybe even more if it is safe, and they are good on a leash. Safety is top priority, and getting them exercise and a break out of the house. I can jog with them by my side, and keep them attentive on our objective. If they have dog aggression, i am used to handling that, and will divert their attention as necessary. If they're very hyper, hopefully we can run it out of them! If they're seniors, i will walk at their pace and let them enjoy the outdoors and sniff all they please.

I am a fast walker but if your dogs like to run I can run with them as well. I can walk slow, fast, running anything really. I can also walk with 1-2 dogs but if there's more than 2, I can walk them as well. When I was a kennel attendant for an animal clinic I walked the dogs around a small yard 2-3 times so they can walk, run, and walk again to let out all the energy and finally I put them in their cage and give them water and feed them later.

This is very dependent on the dog's age, breed, comfort, and necessity of family. I am willing to do very laid-back walks in the park or a more active jog and/or hike with a dog that needs a more active lifestyle. I feel very confident in walking multiple dogs at the same time.

I usually walk dogs for about 1 hour. I will occasionally take them to a dog park to socialize with other dogs. I believe this helps dogs who have problems meeting other dogs. I will walk around the neighborhood to get them familiar to it. I will occasionally have an active walk. I will have them run next to me.

I love taking dogs on walks. I am able to walk all dogs of every size. I have no problem with dogs that like to pull. My number one priority is making sure that my dogs are always wagging their tails. I always make sure that my pups get to "mark their territory" on walks and I have no problem carrying your dog if they get tired (:
If your dog has any special needs I am more than happy to accommodate the little fellow.

I will be walking only your dogs around your neighborhood or if you prefer a different location, for as long as you would like. I will follow all instructions for exercising and take notes of any limitations they may have. I will provide breaks when required, pick up waste immediately, and most importantly I will ensure your furbaby's safety.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Riverside

  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 Riverside, 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 Riverside. 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.
