My walks adjust to fit the dog, I always enjoy a leisurely stroll, but I am up for a brisk jog as well. I am happy to walk multiple dogs that get along together. If you have a usual route you would like to follow, I am happy to oblige. I am also excited to explore the neighborhood with your dogs!

The walk will depend on the dog and your instructions. If the dog likes to walk-run, walk-sniff, walk-play-walk, walk-run-run or whatever the dog likes plus your dog's level of health and ability is what the walk will look like. I'll walk your household of dogs together, so one or several of your dogs together.

Depending on the dog(s), I can do an active run, leisurely walk, group walk, or solo walk. I will ask the owner what they prefer for their dog; however if they are unsure, I can make a good judgement after being around the pet since I have a prodigious amount of experience with dogs.

I have a great trail in my neighborhood that is very dog friendly where I will take your dogs several times per day. I am very cautious of the dogs that I take to make sure that it is a safe and fun environment for each pup! I spend tons of quality time cuddling each dog on the couch and will even allow the dogs to sleep in my bed if that is allowed. :)

I really enjoy doing leisurely walks around the neighborhood! Possibly an occasional easy local trail/hike. If I'm by myself I feel comfortable walking a maximum number of 2 dogs at a time and up to 4 total if I'm walking with one of my family members or friends. If your dog is boarding with me at my home he/she will be walking alongside with my two dogs.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in San Luis Obispo

  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 San Luis Obispo, 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 San Luis Obispo. 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.
