I can match the activity level of any dog. I can run, jog or walk for any dog. I can walk a maximum of 2 dogs and only if they are familiar with each other beforehand (aka siblings). All poop will be picked up and disposed of in an available trashcan or left at the owner's for trash day if no receptacle is available. I prefer walking dogs on harnesses and with a leash (non-retractable). I can provide my own leash and a small (15-25 lb) or XL (60+ lb) harness.

Leisurely, multiple small dogs or well behaved dogs, do not provide leashes. I used to walk my dog for exercise so I do have experience with this. Also I would have another dog with me sometimes so I have walked more than one dog at a time. One dog that I had did not do well on the leash and would pull at it so I have had some experience with dogs who are not well behaved on walks.

I have over 15 years experience as a professional dog trainer, breeder, and occasional groomer and have been taking care of dogs all my life. I have handled all sorts of dogs from teacup poodles to great danes. I have taken time off from dog training to care for my son and will treat your dogs as my own while they are with me. Relaxed household with dogs able to be inside or out in a nice fenced yard. I have a yard securely divided into two sections for guests who may not get along with others. Pets are welcome to lounge on the couch or on a dog bed. I offer pet sitting, bathing, walking, drop in visits, limited grooming, and training.

We will go around the nearby neighborhood, or if time allows us we will go to a nearby park or a dog park if time also allows and owner approves. Depending on the dogs it can be either leisurely or active. Will do solo walks but can also do up to 2 dogs.

Run often outside if weather permits, but can take leisurely walks depending on how active the dog is. Prefer to walk with 1 - 2 dogs, and only 1 for a run. Willing to walk/run where ever you recommend also know some great local places. Enjoy walking to a location letting the dog run for a little and then walking back. Will take them to dog-park if they are okay around other dogs.

Can be solo dog walking or possibly multiple upon request if you're looking to socialize your dog, I have three of my own dogs that I would be happy to bring. Leisurely walks, not very fast paced. We will work on learning to "heal" during our walks. I am open to any suggestions you have for our walks.

Leisurely/active/1-2 dogs please be leash broke. There are several nice trails in the Columbia area. As well as hiking or just a nice stroll. Let me know if there are any questions. I have my own dog as well so I'm very familiar with all the nice dog friendly areas.

Your dogs will enjoy a structured, leisurely walk with me! If your dog is especially active, we can work in some light jogging as well! I can also bike your dogs if that is a task they are comfortable with. I can also handle multiple dogs - I've done up to 3 at one time.

I walk my dogs both on & off leash every day. We go around the neighbor several times a day. On the weekends we go for a hike. They know their harnesses are for hikes so they are very excited when they come out. I have walked as many as 3 dogs at a time. I only have 2 at the present,

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Columbia

  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 Columbia, 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 Columbia. 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.
