Dog Walking in Palo Alto

What does our dog walking service include?

Our dog walking service includes a friendly pickup at your door, an on-leash walk suited to your dog's energy, potty breaks, water and a safe return home. Walks focus on exercise, sniffing and mental stimulation, which helps dogs stay calmer and happier at home, especially on long workdays.

Dog walking

A scheduled, on-leash walk for your dog by a trusted caregiver while you're at work, traveling or simply busy.

Many Peninsula dogs spend long hours at home while their families work, commute or travel. A midday walk breaks up that time, helps with potty routines and gives your dog the exercise and stimulation that reduce boredom behaviors like chewing or barking.

Because we already care for dogs in your neighborhood through grooming, dog walking is a natural extension: the same gentle, attentive approach, just out on the sidewalk instead of the grooming table.

How often should my dog be walked?

Most adult dogs need at least one to two good walks a day, but the right amount depends on energy level, age and breed. High-energy dogs often thrive with a daily midday walk, while seniors and low-energy dogs prefer shorter, gentler outings. We'll help you find a schedule that fits.

Who is dog walking for?

Dog walking is for busy owners who work long hours, travel, have mobility limits, or simply want their dog to have a midday break. It suits young energetic dogs, dogs recovering a routine after a move, and seniors who benefit from short, regular movement. All walks are on-leash for safety.

• Professionals with long workdays or commutes
• Families with packed school and activity schedules
• Owners recovering from injury or with limited mobility
• High-energy breeds who need an extra outlet
• Seniors who enjoy slow, social strolls

How does dog walking work?

You book walks online or by phone, share access details and any instructions, and we arrive at your scheduled time. We greet your dog, leash up, walk at the right pace for your dog and bring them back home with fresh water. You get a quick update on how the walk went.

Please tell us about leash reactivity, recall, medical needs or anything else that helps us keep your dog safe.
