Professional Dog Walking in Austin

Our 30-minute dog walks are $30 per walk. This includes individual attention for your dog, GPS tracking, and a photo report card after each walk. Weekend walks have an additional $5 fee, and major holidays include a 20% surcharge. Same-day bookings also have a $5 additional fee.

We offer 30-minute ($30) and 60-minute ($55) walks as our standard options. For extended walks over 60 minutes or custom durations, please contact us for personalized pricing. Keep in mind that very long walks may not be appropriate for all dogs, especially puppies or those with health concerns.

The ideal walk length depends on your dog's age, breed, and health status. Most adult dogs benefit from 30-60 minutes of walking per day. Puppies need shorter walks (15-30 minutes) to protect their developing joints. Long walks over 1 hour should not be undertaken by dogs under 12 months of age for smaller breeds, or up to 18 months for large breeds. Senior dogs may need gentler, shorter walks. We customize each walk based on your dog's individual needs.

Our dog walking service includes: individual walks (one dog at a time), GPS tracking so you can see exactly where your dog walked, photo report cards after each walk with updates, basic training reinforcement, accommodation of specific routes or routines, all-weather service, and personalized care tailored to your dog's needs. We can also walk multiple dogs from the same household together or separately.

Yes, dogs can become sad, anxious, and depressed without regular walks. Walking provides essential mental stimulation, physical exercise, and environmental enrichment. Dogs who don't get regular walks often develop behavioral issues like excessive barking, destructive chewing, and hyperactivity. Regular walks release endorphins, reduce stress, and contribute significantly to your dog's emotional well-being.

Most adult dogs should be walked on leash for 30-60 minutes per day, which can be divided into multiple walks. High-energy breeds may need 60+ minutes of walking daily. Puppies should have shorter walks of 15-30 minutes to protect their growing bones and joints. Senior dogs benefit from 20-30 minute walks adjusted to their mobility level. The exact duration depends on your dog's age, breed, energy level, and health status.

Absolutely! Dogs are noticeably happier after walks. Exercise releases endorphins (feel-good hormones) that improve mood and reduce stress. After a good walk, you'll often notice your dog is more relaxed, content, and well-behaved at home. Regular walking also improves sleep quality, reduces anxiety, and provides the mental stimulation dogs crave. A well-exercised dog is a happy, healthy dog.

While we can't know exactly how dogs perceive time, research suggests they experience time differently than humans. Dogs live very much in the present moment. An hour to a dog may feel longer than it does to us, especially when they're waiting for something exciting like a walk. This is why establishing a consistent routine with regular walks is so important—it helps dogs anticipate and feel secure about their daily schedule.

Dog sitting is a separate service from dog walking. For information about our overnight pet sitting services, please visit our overnight pet sitting page or contact us directly. Dog sitting pricing varies based on the length of stay and specific care requirements for your pet.

Yes! We walk rain, snow, or shine because your dog's routine and exercise needs don't stop for weather. Please leave out any necessary coats, booties, or towels near the door so we can keep your pet comfortable and dry. We take extra care in inclement weather to ensure your dog stays safe and warm.

We walk one dog at a time (from different households) to ensure your pet receives complete, undivided attention. This approach maximizes safety, allows us to focus on your dog's specific needs and training, and ensures they get a personalized experience. If you have multiple dogs in your household, they can absolutely be walked together—we customize the service to what works best for your family.
