The dog I used to own would be taken to parks and any where a pet was allowed. We would walk her in our neighborhood and go outside play ball with her and go running with her. I feel I keep multiple dogs I would do outdoor activities with them and use any special toy they may have of there own to entertain them. I enjoy having fun with animals especially ones with a great character.

I like to walk my dog around the neighborhood. We also venture into a sparse forested area near my home that has several trails. Additionally, I take my dog to an off-leash dog park in liberty at least twice a week. I am happy to walk dogs at whatever pace they prefer and have no issue with walking multiple dogs at the same time (as long as they are friendly towards each other).

I am very active (hiking/running/walking) and would love the company of a dog out on the trail(s) or parks. Keep us both healthy! I loved playing fetch or tug-of-war with my lab mixes in the backyard and could keep your dog busy similarly. Afterwards we could relax with some snuggle time and/or maybe a good brushing. :)

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Independence

  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 Independence, 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 Independence. 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.
