The Benefits of Hiring a Dog Walker
Your Dog Can't "Hold It" Longer Than a Few Hours
Daily dog walks are the perfect solution for families who cannot take their dog out for a walk and fresh air. Not many dogs can ”hold it” until you get home from your long day.
Your Pup Craves Something to Do
Hiring a dog walker is wonderful for your pup because dogs crave something to do, and few things are more fun than a walk. The outside world is filled with sights, smells, and sounds which stimulate your dog and make them more social.
It Contributes to Your Dog's Overall Good Health
Regular dog walking keeps your pup healthy. By hiring ProCare Pet Sitting and Dog Walking you won’t have to worry about your dog getting enough exercise.
It Helps You with Your Day
Equally important is that having a dog walker gives you more free time. Have you ever had to stay at work because something unforeseen occurred, but then you had a problem because your dog was waiting at home for you take them on their walk? Have you been unable to hang out with friends because you had to go home to make sure your pup is okay? Having a dog walker will give you more leeway to do the things you need and want to do, without coming home to a stressed out dog and a mess in your home.
How to Choose a Dog Walker
Important Questions You Should Ask
When you are considering who to have come to your home to perform dog walking services, you will want to be sure they are honest, reliable and can handle any situation.
Over the years we have found that pet parents who use ProCare as their dog walker have asked themselves the following questions:
- What guarantee do I have that this dog walker will actually show up at my house and take my dog for a walk?
- How will I know that this dog walker did the things I asked them to do during the dog walking visit?
- Does the dog walker communicate well, and can I count on them to let me know how each dog walking visit went?
- If this walker becomes ill or has a car accident, who will come to take my dog for a walk?
- Am I sure this person won't rummage through my belongings, consume my food and drink, or steal something from me?
- What assurance do I have that this dog walker won't bring their children, pet, or boyfriend/girlfriend along with them?
- What if this person leaves my door unlocked or one of my windows open?
- Will this person tell nosy neighbors, solicitors, and potential thieves that I am not at home?
- Am I sure this person is going to be nice to my dogs and not yell at them or physically abuse them?
- What if my dog has made a mess - will this dog walker clean it up?
- What if my dog becomes ill - will the dog walker even notice, will they communicate effectively with me, and will they take my dog to the veterinarian?
It's a bit unnerving when you think about what could go wrong using a hobby walker or someone doing their "side hustle" in the "gig economy". If you are looking for peace of mind, read on! We'll show you why you'll have no worries when ProCare is on the job.

The ProCare Difference
We Have Turned the Dog Walking Industry on Its Ear
We do things a little differently!
- We do not sell dog walks in packages of 15 minute visits, 30 minute visits, etc. Your visits are all-inclusive and customized to your needs, all while remaining competitively priced! The physical and emotional needs of your dog will be met, no matter how long we are at your home taking care of them.
- You will not see any surprises on your invoice when we spend extra time cleaning up large messes or taking an ill dog to the veterinarian, since we do not charge for dog walking by the minute!
- We do not nickel and dime you into debt with fees for consultations, extra dogs, medication administration, mess cleanup, evenings, weekends, last minute requests, emergency transport to the vet while in our care, or key pickup/return. It's all included!
We keep things simple! Just tell us what you need and "Relax... We'll take care of everything!"
