Welcome to Robyn and Rover Run, a new dog exercise service in Guelph, ON. Ultra-distance runner, Robyn will spend 30-40 min or 4-5km, running with your dog (it may be a run/walk until 'Rover' is up to speed). Cost is $30 per run. One dog only per run.
Adequate exercise is critical to having a well-behaved dog in the home and walking on a leash, or doing circles in the backyard often just isn't enough. If you have a dog who needs to burn off energy, this may be the service for you and your 'Rover'!
This service is geared toward dogs and their people living in and around the Exhibition and Riverside Parks areas.
Restrictions based on breed (eg: no brachycephalic dogs), age (1year or older, or with Veterinary approval) and fitness level. Extreme weather may affect run times.
Robyn currently works with humans as an osteopathic therapist and naturopathic doctor in Guelph, and has a long history of dog-care experience including 4+ years working in a boarding and dog training kennel, a summer position with dogs at THS, 5 years volunteer dog walking at GHS (including a Volunteer of the Year award). She also completed 1st veterinary studies at OVC before shifting gears to human health.
In the past, you may have seen Robyn running with her canine companion, Luna. At 13.5 years old, Luna has retired from running and is now happily ambling through parks, mooching treats off other dog people. 🙂
As this is a part-time service, time-slots are limited. Robyn is starting with only one dog per day but will add as demand grows. Currently, hours are available April through October.
Longer distances can be an option- have you ever thought about doing a 10k or 1/2 marathon? Now live the experience through your dog. 😉
