During a dog walk, you can expect the walker to follow a planned route that suits your dog’s exercise and bathroom needs. Depending on the service, walks might last anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour. Many dog walking services offer updates to pet owners, such as a brief text, photo, or message about how the walk went, including information about your dog’s behavior, potty breaks, and how they are doing. Some services even offer GPS tracking of the walk for added transparency. These updates help you feel connected to your dog’s experience even when you’re not present.
