Usually when walking dogs I stroll leisurely, to allow for them to stop and smell and mark any spots they wish. However, I am happy to jog with your dogs if they enjoy that, I am a relatively active person. I am also happy to take multiple dogs on a walk together (I'd say up to 3 or 4), but I do not plan on overlapping clients (I.e. I won't take unfamiliar dogs along with your dogs).

My walks are both leisurely and active. I am an athlete so I like to get a bit of outdoor exercise and I live right beside a big beautiful park. I will walk up to 2 dogs at a time and ensure that they get the exercise and exertion they need! I am extremely attentive when I'm responsible for an animal and am particularly cognizant of traffic as well as whereabouts in off leash areas.

I walk pretty fast, normally. Which is great for pets because dogs are very excited whenever they are outdoors! They just want to run and explore! I also love to run as well because I'm pretty big into fitness so playing fetch is a game that I love! I like to let the dogs stop whenever they want and sniff and play!

walks will be very fun for pets they will be able to run ( if there is room) , sniff, play (if there is a park along the way) , potty ( with clean up of course). Dogs will be walked solo unless there is more than one dog I am watching for one person and they are use to being walked together.

I take the dogs on long, leisurely walks but I also cater to the dog's energy. Possible trips to parks/dog parks. I like to play and let them run if possible. I am flexible and always respectful of owner's instructions and the dog's needs. I have my own reliable transportation and am always eager to take hikes and trips to different parks.

I will only walk dogs together from the same house so no worries about your dog walking with a strange dog they do not know or who might be aggressive. I am willing to split it into walking/jogging for your extra active family member, and for your young puppy or elderly pet we can enjoy a more sedate stroll through your neighborhood. Your dog will also learn how to walk politely with me.

My walks will be super fun! I'm open to walking more than one dog at a time and we can take it slowly if necessary or get more active and get our heart rates up! I love taking trips to the local Metro Parks and spending time out of the sometimes-hectic city, but am also equally content at a dog park if you're a more social and friendly pup. Whatever your speed, I'm an enthusiastic dog-lover and excited to meet you!

I usually take a long leisurely walk at a park or on the street. Although I can walk more, I prefer walking not more than 2 dogs at a time, since I want to pay individual attention to each of them and not do this just for a job. I would like to spend as much time with them as possible, so that all of us have fun.

I can do any type of walks your dog needs! Leisurely, active, somewhere in between... whatever makes your dogs themost comfortable! Walking dogs is my favorite thing to do. I will ensure your dog is having a happy day, clean up after them and anything else you might need from me!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Columbus

  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 Columbus, 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 Columbus. 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.
