Learn About the Pet Walking Services Offered by Dog Walkers.

All pet dogs require exercise, both from a physical and emotional perspective, with walking one of the best ways to burn off some of that pent-up frustration that comes from laying around alone. Many owners take their pooch for a walk after work or after dinner, and for those that don’t work, mornings are popular to get out and explore the neighbourhood or local park.
There are times however when this isn’t possible, work commitments can mean having to go-away for a few days, or when you’re sick. Elderly people represent a large group of people that simply can’t get out like they used to.
So, what do you do when your four-legged companion needs to be exercised, but you can’t do it yourself?

This article will look at the pet walking and dog walking services offered by local, professional dog walkers trained to take your pet dog, or dogs for a walk when you’re unable.

Pet walkers are closely associated with pet sitters, and often provide both services during a typical week.

You will be surprised by the number of dog walkers living near you, which makes it convenient for everyone. You can book a pet walker to come to your house and collect your pooch, take him/her for a walk, exploring the local area or visiting a park down the street, then return him/her to you after smothering them with love.

Pet walking provides an alternative to pet boarding because the dog stays in familiar surroundings, at home, where it can play with all their toys and sleep in the comfort of their own bed, with the added bonus of human socialisation, lots of rewarding treats after obeying commands, and that all important exercise, outside in fresh air.

This valuable service can also have benefits for dogs that are timid of other dogs, or that suffer from separation anxiety when placed in an unfamiliar enclosure.

Apart from taking your dog for a walk, pet walkers can also make sure your fur baby is fed and has fresh water in your absence too. Performing similar duties to pet sitters, leaving your dog at home in familiar surroundings while still having a caring professional to supply exercise, socialisation & stimulation, could be the ‘pawfect’ solution for your pet and for you.

Summary of Pet Walking Services

As you can see, dog walkers play a vital role in making sure your pooch is exercised, socialised and receives the companionship required when you’re unable to provide it yourself.

With other services such as pet boarding or doggy day care facilities, your pet isn’t in familiar surroundings.

ultimately, the decision is yours to make, after weighing up the pros and cons of all the excellent pet care options available through local businesses near you.
