why have a dog walker?
Mental & Physical wellbeing
Stimulation is so important for all dogs. Being stuck in the house with limited interaction is not good for us let alone your pooch. They need new sights, smells and sounds which all help stimulate your dog mentally. This stimulation often includes meeting other people or animals, which can be an excellent way to encourage proper socialization for your pup. As humans, we often take for granted these brief encounters and stimuli, and we can easily forget that these are frequently the highlights of our pet’s day. A dog walker can ensure that this happens when you need it and flex around both your pooches needs and yours. Likewise, as with their human counterparts, pets need regular and consistent exercise to live long, healthy, and happy lives. One of the absolute best ways to keep your pet healthy is to provide 3 or more 20+ minute walks per day
Behaviour
A tired dog is a good dog. Regular walking and stimulation helps to release excess energy in your pup, resulting in calmer behaviour at home. With frequent, lengthy walks, your dog will be less inclined to bark, chew, bite, use the bathroom indoors, etc because basically they are knackered!!! Think the same applies with children….
Peace Of Mind
Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren’t at home. With a daily dog walker, you don’t have to worry as much if you need to stay late for work, or if your dog doesn’t completely “finish” when you take them out in the morning. The knowledge that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day also helps relieve the guilt or stress held by knowing your pup is otherwise locked up alone. You can feel confident that you are doing the best you can for your pup, and that your dog is living a rewarding, happy life.
Time
We all live busy lives and sometimes, consistent lengthy walks are difficult to fit into our schedules. After all we are not superheroes! You may just need some additional support on days when you need to go into the office, stay at work late or perhaps go out in the evening. With a dog walker, your dog still gets all of the exercise and attention they deserve, while you get back some me time without the guilt. Everyone wins!
Bio
About Me
My name is Greg and for as long as I can remember I have always had a passion for all things Furry!!! I grew up with Rottweilers, English bull terriers and cats. In my more recent years I have owned a staffie cross shar pei and I am now the proud owner of a ginger golden doodle (wife’s choice!) After serving many years in the armed forces and then more recently the ambulance service I have decided to fulfil my lifelong dream of working with animals. My dog is my life and I will treat your pet with the respect and love that they deserve being the next best thing available to them when you are busy working or having some important you time!
