Depending on how the dogs personality is, we can be relaxed and just take a nice stroll, or we could do a little running and playing. If I have my dog with me, maybe we can stop at a park and let the pups play for a while before returning home.

Leisurely to active walks in the neighborhood, mixing sidewalk and grassy park. I usually take dogs through a beautiful area of mansions called Boston-Edison 4 blocks north. If a dog likes to run a bit I'll jog with them through the park there, Voigt Park.

Depending on the area, I love to take dogs to parks! Enjoying the wildlife and all the sites. If a park is not near by, I like to scope out different routes to take around the neighborhood so the dogs will never get bored with the same ole'
same ole'

If permitted, I will bring my own dog so yours will have a play mate! She gets along very well with other animals and always enjoys a new friend.

If the weather does not call for a walk, play time it is!

I like to base the type of walk I give on the dog that I'm watching. I am able to walk up to 3 dogs at a time depending on their size. I am willing to run around the park with them a couple of times and of course play fetch. This is actually one of my favorite activities to do with pets in all seasons.

Straight forward walking. Different routes, sticking to sidewalks and parks. I will have plastic bags for any mess made. I prefer to use a leash the owner uses. I'm not a super active guy so I won't be over exerting the dogs, and if they look tired I will be giving frequent rests. Happy to explore any parks or wide open spaces.

I am aware that many are not aware of how their dog will react to another person or dog. I can isolate my dog from your dog for short stays only. I have a basement set-up and side door that will release into my backyard for different potty break times.

If you require for me to board just your dog and not accept other bookings, let's discuss that on our meet and greet.

Willing to travel for out of area special requests. Please inquire with your details.

Looking forward to meeting your baby!

The type of walk depends on the breed and temperament of the invidual dog. Where we walk will also depend on the owner and the pet. I prefer for the pet to be as comfortable as possible. It creates a better behaved animal and a more relaxed environment.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Detroit

  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 Detroit, 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 Detroit. 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.
