PROFESSIONAL DOG WALKING SERVICES NEAR YOU

Dog walking is essential for your pet’s physical health, mental wellbeing, and overall happiness. At Pawcific Dog Academy, we provide more than just a quick trip around the block, we offer engaging, personalized walks that cater to your dog’s individual energy level, personality, and preferences.

Our Los Angeles dog walking services are designed for busy professionals, families with hectic schedules, senior citizens who need assistance, or anyone who wants to ensure their dog gets consistent, quality exercise. We offer flexible scheduling with walks available throughout the day, including morning walks, midday visits, afternoon adventures, and evening strolls.

Benefits of Professional Dog Walking:

  • Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight and prevents obesity-related health issues
  • Physical activity reduces destructive behaviors caused by pent-up energy and boredom
  • Mental stimulation from exploring new scents and environments keeps your dog’s mind sharp
  • Consistent routine helps with anxiety and provides structure to your dog’s day
  • Socialization opportunities with other dogs and people in your neighborhood
  • Bathroom breaks during the workday prevent accidents and discomfort
  • Professional supervision ensures your dog’s safety during outdoor activities
  • Peace of mind knowing your dog is cared for while you’re busy

What Makes Our Walks Special: We don’t rush through walks or juggle too many dogs at once. Our dog walkers focus on providing quality, attentive exercise that truly benefits your pet. We explore your neighborhood, allow time for sniffing and investigating, and adjust the pace to match your dog’s abilities. Every walk is an adventure tailored specifically to your dog’s needs.

Safety First Approach: Your dog’s safety is our top priority. Our walkers are trained to handle various situations including encountering other dogs, navigating traffic, and responding to unexpected circumstances. We use secure leashes and harnesses, and we’re always vigilant about potential hazards.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR DOG WALKING SERVICE

Getting Started: We begin with a complimentary consultation where we meet you and your dog. We’ll discuss your dog’s exercise needs, behavior, any special considerations, and your scheduling preferences. We’ll also do a short test walk to ensure compatibility and comfort.

Walk Day Preparation: Before each walk, our walker will check in with you if needed, securely leash your dog, and conduct a quick safety check. We bring waste bags, water for longer walks, and any supplies needed for a successful outing.

During the Walk: Our walkers provide engaging, safe exercise tailored to your dog’s pace and interests. We explore your neighborhood, allow appropriate sniffing time, maintain control in all situations, and ensure your dog gets the physical and mental stimulation they need. We always clean up after your dog and respect your neighborhood.

Post-Walk Care: After the walk, we ensure your dog is safely back inside with fresh water available. We secure your home, and you’ll receive a detailed report with photos, walk duration, distance covered, bathroom breaks, and any notable observations about your dog’s behavior or health.

Ongoing Communication: We maintain open lines of communication about your dog’s progress, any concerns, or changes in behavior. Your feedback helps us continually improve the experience for your pet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long should my dog’s walks be?

This depends on your dog’s age, breed, energy level, and health. Most adult dogs do well with 30-minute walks, while high-energy breeds may need 45-60 minutes. Puppies and senior dogs typically benefit from shorter 15-20 minute walks. We’ll help you determine the best duration during our consultation.

How many walks does my dog need per day?

Most adult dogs benefit from at least one good walk per day, though many active dogs thrive with two walks daily. Puppies may need 2-3 shorter walks, while senior dogs’ needs vary. We can create a schedule that fits your dog’s specific requirements and your budget.

Do you walk dogs in all weather conditions?

We walk in most weather conditions, though we prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort. In extreme heat, we adjust walk times to cooler parts of the day and keep walks shorter. During rain, we provide walks unless conditions are severe (lightning, flooding, etc.). In extreme weather, we’ll consult with you about alternatives.

What if my dog is reactive to other dogs?

We have experience with reactive dogs and can provide individual walks on routes that minimize encounters with other dogs. Our walkers are trained in proper handling techniques and will work within your dog’s comfort level while ensuring everyone’s safety.

Can you walk multiple dogs from the same household?

Yes! We’re happy to walk multiple dogs from the same household together, provided they walk well together. This is often more cost-effective than individual walks and allows your dogs to enjoy their exercise time as a pack.

What happens if my dog has an accident or gets injured during a walk?

Safety is our top priority. Our walkers are trained in pet first aid and carry emergency contact information. In the event of any injury or medical concern, we’ll contact you immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. We’re fully insured for your protection.

Do you offer last-minute or same-day dog walking?

We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule allows. While we can’t always guarantee same-day availability, we encourage you to contact us if you need urgent coverage—we’ll do everything we can to help.

Are your dog walkers insured and background checked?

Yes, Pawcific Dog Academy is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. All our dog walkers undergo comprehensive background checks and are trained in our safety protocols, pet first aid, and professional handling techniques.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a walk?

We understand that plans change. We ask for as much notice as possible when you need to cancel or reschedule. Please contact us to discuss our cancellation policy and we’ll work with you to accommodate your needs.

Do you provide keys or lockbox services?

Yes, for regular walking clients, we can hold a key in our secure key management system or work with your existing lockbox. We take home security very seriously and have strict protocols for key handling and storage.

How do I know my dog actually went on their walk?

Every walk includes GPS tracking and photo updates sent directly to you. You’ll be able to see the exact route taken, distance covered, walk duration, and photos of your happy pup enjoying their outdoor time.

Can the same walker come each time?

We do our best to provide consistency with the same walker whenever possible, as we know dogs thrive on routine. While we can’t always guarantee the exact same person due to scheduling or time off, we keep your dog’s walking team small and consistent.
