Dog Walker Rules
If you’re a client of mine, you know this: I am UBER careful with the dogs I walk. If you’ve entrusted me to care for your dog, my first priority is keeping your dog safe.
I’ve had my dog walking business for over 10 years and here are a few things I’ve learned during this time.
Not all dogs want or need the same amount of exercise. If you dog likes to power walk, that’s what we’ll do.
Hiring a Dog Walker
New Midday Dog Walker
See Spot Run has not one new walker but two new dog walkers. I'm so excited to announce I've added two ladies, Tiffany and Christina to the team. I've known them for years... they live in my neighborhood. I can personally vouch for them.
Last September I took some time off and Tiffany covered for me while I was away. She loved it so much so we got to talking and she decided she'd like to walk dogs regularly. That conversation spilled over into a conversation with Christina and now both of them are my new midday dog walkers.
They are taking on new clients Monday - Friday who work during the day and would like their pup to get a walk, play time, or cuddles. We are covering the greater Southpark areas including parts of 28209, 28210 and 28226. If you know of anyone who would like to add this service for their dog, please let me know. You'd make the dog's day and you'd make Tiffany and Christina's too.
This is Rivers, a weimeraner puppy that needed a walker and someone to throw the ball for him while his dad was at work. I've said this before, this is the best job ever. Watching dogs like Rivers play and have a good time is a great way to spend my day.
We also love to take them for walks. Not only does the dog enjoy going for a walk, so does the walker. Getting to stretch my legs while watching a dog enjoy his time outside makes me happy.
If you know of anyone else who would like to be a walker, let me know. We may be adding more walkers on in the future.

Lincoln - he is great. I learned a new lesson last night: walking Lincoln in flip flops means that my feet will get wet. He drools a lot on the treat route! LOL!! I usually don't wear flip flops and now I have another reason why I shouldn't.

Happy Birthday to my brother who is not picture here!! :)
Hanna - Hi Ruff Ruff. It's me Hanna. The pet sitter came over to see me again this morning. I barked at her when she came inside. She grabbed my favorite toy and we went outside. She threw it several times but then we came inside. I was shivering... it was COLD out! I look pretty cute in my picture, huh? 2nd visit: guess what? I think the pet sitter thinks that it is summer time. We stayed outside the whole visit... it was 50 degrees so it kind of felt like summer. She threw the barbell for a lot... she actually counted 7 times but then I took a potty break and I decided to sniff her. She forgot to start counting again after that. We had fun! She's spending the night at another client's house tonight so she won't update her blog again until tomorrow. She told me to tell you that. :)
Gaylord & Finnegan - well, I got sniffed a bunch again today and I swear I had on clean clothes! It was early.... I hadn't been that many places yet. The boys are doing just fine although Finnegan was scratching at his left ear. I'll keep an eye on him to see if he does it some more. 2nd visit - I took the boys for a walk. Seriously, Gaylord doesn't care if Finnegan pees on him. I knew to watch him this time but if I wouldn't have been watching, he would've been peed on multiple times. Neither one pooped... I was a little surprised but they'd both pooped last night. Those are some big poop bags you have.... very nice and I'm sure great to use with Gaylord!!
Hero - Hero walked quite a ways but he sure didn't like it when the wind would blow. (I didn't like it so much myself either.) He took care of all of his business and then he headed into the house!
Max - he got right up today and went outside to pee.
Frankie - Frankie and I walked around the circle today. She would look over at the house... I'm not sure if she was just making sure that it was still there.... I'm guessing that was her hint to me that she was ready to go back. We kept going and went around the whole way until we made it back.
Dusty - we made our normal loop before coming back inside so I could feed him his dinner.
