My walks could range from leisurely to active. I enjoy walking, as well as running., and I would be willing to walk multiple dogs at once, or solo, depending on each dogs' need! I am comfortable with moving at each dogs' preferred pace. I am willing to walk as short as 15 min, or as long as 1.5 hours.

Whatever you need!

I have walked dogs part time for 7 years - happy to do leisurely walks, speed walks/jogs, walk solo or multiple dogs. And keep your walk preferences - ie., leash on left, no pulling, stopping at lights - whatever you want or need to feel comfortable and that your best friend is getting the right kind of exercise!

I have experience walking dogs leisurely (lots of stops for sniffing time) as well as more active walks (3.5 mph with hills and stairs). If dogs are well trained to walk together, I can walk multiple dogs at once, but otherwise, my experience is mostly with walking single dogs at once.

Happy to provide whatever walk is preferred: quick potty break, daily exercise (longer walk), hike through the woods, or a stroll around town. Multiple dogs are OK, if leash trained - otherwise, I'd walk one at a time. If you have a fenced-in space, I'm willing to spend the time playing with the dog outside.

I would love to take your dog for a walk! I would be taking your dog and no others. I have always grown up with dogs and have plenty of experience walking them. I have experience walking medium to large dogs. I don't mind walking around your neighborhood or go to a nearby park if there is one within walking distance.

I have experience with very active dogs and enjoy being outside. Whatever your dog needs, I can handle! I am also comfortable handling two small or medium sized dogs at the same time. I also have experience walking very excitable dogs and do not feel intimidated by leash pulling.

My favorite place for walks is Corbett's Glenn nature park! It's a huge park with lots of trails, water, and other dogs. I'm always open to trying out new parks and trails you guys suggest, just let me know!

On overnights I like to take dogs on their usual walks around the neighborhood with the optional trip to the park. I do this because I want your dog to be the most comfortable when you're away and that means routine and familiar surroundings.

Your dogs will most likely be on their walks solo. Each dog likes different things whether that means shorter or longer walks, places to swim vs places with room to throw the frisbee, places with more dogs or with less; Each dog is different. I try my best to cater our time to suit their wants and needs and that means giving YOUR dogs my full attention.

Walks are provided and can be either a leisurely stroll or active play time. All walks are done solo. Walks can be around the block, at a nearby park, or shortened to include backyard playtime and fetch. For longer walks, I will map out a route unless the owner offers a preferred route or destination. All walks will last for at least the guaranteed time. I do not run with dogs to prevent any safety issues and to better monitor the health and comfort of the dog on the walk.

I can walk dogs at any level that the owner is comfortable with. If that means taking them for a run or going with multiple dogs at a time, I'm in! I like to give dogs the exercise that they need - I won't shortchange their time. I can also work on teaching them good manners on a leash if needed!

Every walk I provide will accommodate each dog's specific needs. Whether they are an older dog and prefer a more leisurely walk or they are young and active and prefer a more fast-paced walk, I am more than willing to address their needs. I am also willing to walk dogs either on their own or I am able to walk multiple dogs at once. I have a lot of experience walking dogs (both one-on-one and in a group) and am confident that I will be able to provide the perfect service for your dog's needs.

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Rochester

  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 Rochester, 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 Rochester. 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.
