Solo walks for dogs who prefer individualized attention, quiet pacing, or structured one-on-one care.

Home Care, Feeding & Medication
Every visit includes:
Water replenishment
A brief home check for safety
Reinforcement of routines your dog relies on
Midday meals and gentle medication administration (as needed)
We always leave your home as secure — or more secure — than we found it.
Professional dog walkers you can trust
Your dog’s walker is:
Fear Free Certified
Background-checked & insured
CPR & First Aid trained
Skilled in canine body-language
Experienced in low-stress, behavior-informed handling
We use high-quality safety gear and a calm, mindful approach so every walk feels supportive, secure, and grounded.
-
DescriptionThe right gear creates a safer, more comfortable walking experience — one that allows your dog to move freely, breathe easily, and explore the world with confidence. We use and recommend equipment that aligns with low-stress, Fear Free handling principles.
Harnesses
We prefer well-fitted harnesses with front and back clip options. A supportive harness distributes pressure evenly across the body, allowing your dog to walk comfortably and naturally while giving our walkers gentle, reliable control.
Martingale Collars
For dogs who are gear-savvy or prone to slipping out of flat collars, a martingale can provide secure, low-pressure support without tightening excessively.
What We Avoid
We do not use aversive tools such as prong collars, choke chains, or e-collars. Our approach is rooted in emotional safety, gentle communication, and helping dogs build confidence — never fear.
If you'd like help selecting the right harness or collar for your dog, we’re always happy to make personalized recommendations. text goes here
