Thanks to a small team that is like a family, we pride ourselves on giving personal attention to each of our furry clients. Dogs are only walked individually or in pairs to insure they receive individualized attention, and each dog is visited by the same dog walker each day.

Our goal is to enrich each dog’s life through exercise, training and lots of love. A visit from Get Pet is not just a potty break – it’s a great way for your dog to stay fit and healthy and the perfect tool to reinforce positive behavior and provide you with valuable insight and tips to strengthen your bond with your dog.

Whether you are bringing home a new puppy, have a dog who misbehaves from time to time, want to help your dog lose weight and stay healthy, or just know your pup gets lonely while you are away, we look forward to building a positive relationship with your dog every time we go for a walk.

The dog hiking facet of Running Dogs is based on the premise that most dogs need a lot of exercise for mental and physical health to occur. Large and active breeds are welcome! We have specialized training for all types of breeds, from rescues to sporting dogs, and all manner of high-energy canines.

Dogs really look forward to their daily hiking adventures! Owners are happy also, because they come home to a relaxed and happy dog.

We offer discounts to senior citizens and military families.

Daily dog walks and exercise provides a great opportunity for your dog to practice social/behavioral skills, release pent up energy, and provide mental stimulation with new sights and sounds. Dogs are able to meet new dogs and people on their walks which helps improve their behavior and health. Dogs that are taken for daily walks are better behaved and are less likely to be destructive, obsessive, or have separation/dominance issues.

Our professional and experienced walkers/sitters will always treat your pets like family because we believe that the pets in our lives deserve the best care around. We will schedule an in-home consultation where you and your pet can get acquainted with our dog walker or pet sitter before scheduling services. We will match you with a highly qualified dog walker or pet sitter and work with you until we find a perfect match. Every dog walker and sitter is fully insured and bonded with Pet Sitters Associates. We also provide daily updates that let you know how they did during their walk/sitting!

We also offer daily dog outings to hiking trails or parks for dogs that need the extra playtime and exercise!

Two ideas to have animal companionship without ownership mentioned in the article included visiting a local dog park and becoming a professional (or hobbyist) dog walker. Both of these activities would allow an animal lover to be around dogs but not have to have the full responsibility and costs associated with ownership.

The first idea that was discussed in the article was to visit a dog park. Elliot Silver, who owns DogWalker.com and DogPark.com, commented that ”visiting a dog park is a great way for people to be around dogs without the responsibility of owning one,” because it can be “a good way to get a child acclimated with dogs if they are thinking about buying or adopting one.”

Becoming a dog walker is also a great way to be around dogs, but it’s obviously more responsibility than simply visiting a dog park. Not only does a dog walking job allow a pet lover to spend time with dogs, but it also is a great way to earn some extra money on the side. Dog lovers can make their own hours and work when they wish to work. They have added responsibility to care for dogs, but instead of paying others, they will be paid.

Dog / pet lovers who wish to become dog walkers or even start a professional dog walking business can visit DogWalker.com to learn how to start a dog walking business.
