How much do dog walks cost?

Dog walking services in Novato start at $25 per visit. Pricing is based on visit length and the number of dogs from the same household. A 30 minutes walk is $25.

Do you walk multiple dogs from the same home?

Yes. Multiple dogs from the same household can be walked together as long as they are comfortable walking as a group and can be safely handled on leash. Reactive dogs are walked separately.

Are the walks on‑leash or off‑leash?

Most walks are on‑leash in your Novato neighborhood. For dogs with reliable recall, I also offer off‑leash walks where it is safe and allowed, following local rules and your preferences.

How long is each dog walk?

Walking time is flexible and based on your dog’s preference and energy level. Whether you need a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I customize the visit length to your dog’s needs. I offer 30 & 45 minute walks.

What kind of dogs is this service best for?

My dog walking services are perfect for busy pet parents with senior dogs, active dogs, and pups who need regular exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day.

Do you use positive reinforcement?

Yes. I use positive reinforcement and appropriate equipment on every walk to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy while reinforcing good leash manners. I do not use aversive prong or electronic collars as they’re uncomfortable, painful and erode trust.

Will I get updates after each dog walk?

Yes. After every visit, you receive GPS updates so you know when and where your dog was walked, along with notes about how the outing went for your peace of mind.

Who walks my dog?

I personally walk each dog client. I do not use contractors.

When do I pay for dog walks?

Your invoice is available for payment at the end of each month. Acceptable forms of payment include credit or debit cards and checks.
