I would love to take a walk with any dog whether it be to exercise the energetic pup or provide fresh air to the wise, aging hound. Please specify whether you dog requires an active walk through a park or a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood - I am happy to do either! I am able to take up to 2 dogs, large or small. Dogs must come with their own leashes; however, I am happy to provide small treats for dogs to enjoy during our walks!

My walks will be customized to your pet. I will take leisurely dogs on walks that they feel comfortable with not to long or to fast, the dog will lead (at least the pace, I'll lead the dog). Active pets I love playing ball and running with your baby. If you have multiple dogs I can handle that also, I had 5 growing up.

Walks will be based on each dog's individual needs. I am more than happy to bring my dog along for walks if it makes your dog feel more comfortable. I tend to go on more leisurely walks, unless requested otherwise by the owner. I am an active runner, so taking higher energy dogs on a run with me would not be a problem.

I enjoy going on walks and runs so I am fine with any level of intensity! My favorite park in Springfield is Sequiota and I would love to take a dog there for a walk/run or just outdoor fun! I am fine with having multiple dogs on a walk as well! I also love playing frisbee with dogs!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Springfield

  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 Springfield, 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 Springfield. 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.
