With many residents of Newmarket, Aurora, Sharon and Holland Landing are transitioning to remote work, it’s essential to consider our furry friends’ needs, even while we’re home all day. Hiring a professional dog walker can bring numerous benefits to both your dog and you. Here’s why you might want to consider incorporating this service into your routine.
Benefits for Your Dog
1. Regular Exercise:
– While it’s convenient to think we can handle our pet’s walking needs, reality often shows that busy work schedules can interfere. A professional dog walker ensures your pet gets the necessary exercise tailored to their age, size, and energy level.
2. Socialization Opportunities:
– Dogs are social animals. Regular walks with a professional dog walker can help your dog learn to interact politely with other dogs and humans, boosting their confidence and ensuring they’re well-socialized.
3. Mental Stimulation:
– A change of scenery and the activity of walking engages your dog’s senses and encourages mental enrichment, which is crucial for their overall well-being.
Imagine this – you are at your desk all day without a break or social interaction. When you finally get up you may feel a little sore, stiff and need to socialize with other family members or friends. Your dog is no different.
Benefits for You
1. Reliability and Peace of Mind:
– A professional, bonded, and insured dog walker ensures that your pet is in capable and trustworthy hands. This can relieve any stress related to their care while you focus on work without distractions.
2. Flexible Availability:
– Our dog walking services operate 365 days a year, ensuring coverage for unexpected late-night events, meetings, or extended work hours. This flexibility allows you to pursue your career confidently, knowing your pet’s needs are always met.
3. Avoid Separation Anxiety:
– If you ever return to an office setting, your dog will already be accustomed to being away from you for short periods, reducing the risk of separation anxiety.
Tips for Transitioning
Start Gradually:
– Introduce the dog walker to your pet gradually to ensure comfort and trust.
Create a Schedule:
– Dogs are creatures of habit and thrive on routine. Establish a consistent routine with your dog walker to help your pet become familiar with the schedule.
Feedback and Communication:
– Maintain open communication with your dog walker to address any concerns or special needs.
