Walks I provide can be tailored to what your pooch needs! If you would like to work on commands during walks or distraction proofing, I am happy to do so. If your dog(s) just need a little fresh air to get out of the house, we can find a place to play fetch. Older dogs or pups who want to take it easy can have just as much fun on a leisurely walk!

I'm happy to take your dog on a leisurely or more active walk, depending on their needs. I live and work near the middle of Downtown Raleigh and if you live close enough, I have the flexibility for mid day walks. I am only really comfortable walking one pup at a time, but am happy to take turns!

I am available to take dogs on leisurely or very active walks. Whether going around the block or taking them on a hike with me, I can make sure the dog gets the exercise they need to be healthy! I enjoy running, hiking and bringing furry friends along with me!

I am comfortable walking slowly to accommodate slower dogs as well as a brisk jog when they're too energetic for an easy strolling pace. I'm also experienced with walking two dogs of very different paces at once, so I am comfortable with being aware of my surroundings and multi-tasking with leashes to keep everyone on the same page. I prefer the leisurely walks but am happy to add more cardio to my day!

I will walk the owner's dog in whatever way they prefer! Whether it be a leisurely or active walk, solo or with multiple dogs. I have experience in each category. If there is no preference, I generally just try to wear out the dog(s) so as to ensure a good nap! And I could always use the exercise!

I can walk multiple dogs at once or solo based on your preference. I can take pets to a pet park to allow them to run around and get exercise. I can handle leash pullers and help train them not to do so. I'll make sure to not burn paws, being sure to have them walk in grassy areas and not on hot concrete.

I'm willing to provide whatever type of walk your dog is used to and prefers up to 5 miles. We can even run a bit if it's needed. In the past I have walked dogs all the way to the dog park, let them play, and walked back. (This client lived about 2 miles from the park.)

Depending on the dog's age and their activity level, we will go on slow, leisurely walks, or more fast-paced walks. If your dogs are used to walking together, I can continue to do that, but sometimes I'll take dogs on individual walks just to give them a little special time! :)

-----------I will take your dog for a short potty walk. I only walk your dog, not pack walking. I generally take smaller, low energy dogs unless there is a back yard to play in. I generally include playtime with a walk.--------------------------------------------

I have walked several different dogs using several different types of leashes. I also understamd how to pay attention to the dog and adapt to their style of walking. I am currently training for a half marathon so I can keep up with any dog. I would love to walk your dog and get them the exercise they need.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Raleigh

  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 Raleigh, 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 Raleigh. 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.
