I can provide leisurely walks for dogs of all kinds and am happy to walk multiple dogs at once! I am patient with any dogs who may be sniffers (I have a beagle myself :-D) and can handle any leash pullers. I am happy to walk around your neighborhood or to any trails that you have near your home, including going on short hikes. If your dog is good around other dogs, I'd also love to walk my dog with yours as well!

Walks will vary depending on the dog. If they are full of energy and like to run we can take a jog through the surrounding area if they enjoy playing with other dogs or running free we will visit dog parks of course. I will walk small dogs together larger breeds only if they're trained and aren't to aggressive on a leash with pulling. Treats offered too dogs with owners approval.

We will take walks that are customized to your own dog's comfort zone. I can take short or long walks in any weather. If your dog prefers to walk along, we will walk alone.
Normally I prefer to walk dogs by themselves so the dog feels comfortable with me and gets my full attention.

I am interested in all kinds of dogs & any and all types of walks- if they want to have a relaxed leisurely stroll, that is fine or if they are more high energy, I can work with that too! It will all be based on the dog and their personality! I have only ever walked three dogs at a time, so I think that would be my limit, at least at first! ;)

We can offer leisure walks, runs, hikes, multiple dogs, or by themselves. We want to specialize your pet's time out to what you and they will most enjoy! We can also offer time at the dog park or to a local park (ie Eno River) within the 60 minute walk price, if distance allows. We love the outdoors and sharing the outdoors with dogs!

I prefer leisurely walks that let them explore their surroundings. Puppies especially have such curiosity! If your pupper is particularly active and high energy, like a husky, I am happy to increase the intensity to wear them out.

Three dogs max, though I can accommodate more if the dogs are very small.

I have also walked cats and ferrets. If you have other fuzz-butts that enjoy the outside just let me know!

I live in Durham, close to US 70 E highway. I leave for work at 6:40 am and come back home at about 5:30 pm. I highly prefer take a dog walk after I come back from work. I can do one hour walk or longer if needed. If I need to walk the dog in the early morning, I can do 30 minutes walk too.

I can provide any kind of walk depending on your dogs needs! I am a very active person, so I can provide anything from an active walk or jog to a long leisurely walk. I can walk wherever you prefer, whether it be in a complex or on a dog-friendly hiking trail.

I would happily take a dog or two on a leisurely walk around your neighborhood. If there isn't a good space to walk nearby, I have a few favorite parks in the area where I like to walk and would happily take your dog there (assuming they are okay traveling in my vehicle).

I also like to go for leisurely jogs of 1-4 miles. So if a dog is trained and okay with it, I'd be happy to take it for a more active jogging experience.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Durham

  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 Durham, 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 Durham. 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.
