There may not be enough time in the day for you to focus on yourself and your pet(s). However, your pets need just as much attention as you do. Therefore, hiring a professional dog walker is not only beneficial to you, but your pet as well. Hiring a professional dog walker gives you complete peace of mind while you are not at home, or even if you are, you'll know that your dog is in safe and reliable hands. With a daily dog walker, you don't have to worry as much when you have to stay late at work, or if your dog doesn't have a complete bathroom trip when you let them out or walk them in the morning before you leave for the day. Just knowing that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day, especially in the warmer months where they want to engage with the outside world, will help relieve the stress and guilt you feel about leaving them alone. You may not be able to give them all of the attention they need, but you aren't forgetting about them and you should feel proud of that.
Taking your dog for lengthy walks are also hard when you are in a time crunch. Many owners will take their dog for a walk, have them do their business, then go back home and that is not what a dog needs. With a regular dog walker, your pet will be taken on much longer walks even if they do not have to go to the bathroom. It is important for dogs to be walked even when they do not have to go to the bathroom. Professional dog walkers do more than just walk your dog-they spend quality time with your pet, provide ample exercise outside of going for a walk and can tell if there are any health issues that may be ailing your beloved dog.
Our dog walkers have a keen eye for details and aren't there to just let your dog out. Our professionals can take notes of your dog's daily activities, how they're acting, the amount of times they went to the bathroom and keep you updated on how they are feeling throughout the day. The ease of having a dog walker can't be understated either. You don't have to drop them off in a strange place or take them to a dog park with other pets they may or may not get along with. It is just your pet and dog walker, one-on-one, so they can receive the attention they need and deserve.
It is tough to leave your dog at home all day and depending on your schedule as well as the people you may have in your home, your pet could be left alone for up to eight hours and that is not fair to you and especially not your pet. Call Bark & Walk and put your worries of leaving your dog alone to the side. Our dog walking experts can walk, play, feed and give care to your dog until you return home.
