🐾 The Top 5 Reasons You Should Hire A Dog Walker 🐾

Okay, so maybe we’re a little bit biased. But the truth is, hiring a dog walker can provide amazing benefits for your pet, as well as for you. Here are the top 5 reasons we believe hiring a dog walker is incredibly important:

1. Health – As with their human counterparts, pets need regular and consistent exercise to live long, healthy, and happy lives. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, an estimated 54% of dogs and cats are obese. Many pets will acquire specific health problems in their lifetime that could easily be prevented or diminished with proper exercise. One of the absolute best ways to keep your pet healthy is to provide 3 or more 20+ minute walks per day.

2. Socialisation and Stimulation – Walking not only gets your dog the exercise she/he needs, but it also stimulates his/her senses. Your dog gets to see, smell, feel, and hear all types of new and interesting things when out for a walk. This stimulation often includes meeting other people or animals, which can be an excellent way to encourage proper socialisation for your pup. As humans, we often take for granted these brief encounters and stimuli, and we can easily forget that these are frequently the highlights of our pet’s day.

3. Behavior – Simply put, a tired dog is a good dog. Regular walking helps to release excess energy in your pup, resulting in calmer behavior at home. With frequent, lengthy walks, your dog will be less inclined to bark, chew, bite, use the bathroom indoors, etc.

4. Peace of Mind – Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren’t at home. With a daily dog walker, you don’t have to worry as much if you need to stay late for work, or if your dog doesn’t completely “finish” when you take them out in the morning. The knowledge that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day also helps relieve the guilt or stress held by knowing your pup is otherwise locked up alone, often for 8 or more hours every day. You can feel confident that you are doing the best you can for your pup, and that your dog is living a rewarding, happy life.

5. Time – We all live busy lives, and every minute counts. Sometimes, consistent lengthy walks are difficult to fit into our schedules. We often wake up extra early, head home for our lunch hours, and delay making dinner for our families in an effort to make sure our dogs get the care they need. With a regular dog walker, your dog still gets all of the exercise and attention they deserve, while you get back a great deal of time. Everyone wins!

There are many other reasons to hire a professional dog walker, but by now, the benefits should be clear. It’s a Dog’s Life makes hiring a professional dog walker simple with our affordable options, quality service, and experienced dog walkers.

We’d love to help you and your dog get the benefits a professional dog walker provides. Call or Whatsapp 07738 257526 or email [email protected].

PET TAXI

As well as our walking and visiting pet services, we now have purchased a designated vehicle to transport your pet to the vets, grooming parlour, puppy class, kennel/cattery, or anywhere your pet needs to go. Whether you are at work, do not have your own vehicle or would rather a professional pet-carer take on the responsibility, we can transport your pet professionally and safely.

We ensure your pet is at it’s appointment on time and we will stay with your pet if necessary during the appointment or pick them up later and return your pet home safely. We are able to respond to last-minute out of hours emergency appointments too.

Our Story

Hi, and thank you for visiting our page.

It’s a dog’s life was started by Mark and Caroline who are passionate about dogs, especially our own , Annie a two-year-old working Cocker Spaniel and Lilly a 4 year old Springer Spaniel As you are probably aware this breed needs an awful lot of exercise and are not content with a quick lead walk around the block. As we spend most of our spare time walking our dogs in the beautiful countryside around Northamptonshire we decided that rather than leave it to a weekend treat this would be something that we would like to be able to do daily. We quickly realised that our dogs are better behaved and more content if they have had a good run and play and we are able to spend quality time with them. We understand this must be the dilemma that each dog owner faces, as like us, you are trying to fit quick walks in around the hectic lives we lead, often leaving the owner full of guilt and promises of a good walk later. Hence the idea of ‘It’s a dog’s life’ was born.

Mark grew up in one of the lovely Northamptonshire villages we often walk our dogs, Loddington. Mark’s Mum and Dad owned and operated the local boarding kennels and dog training centre. His childhood was spent surrounded by animals with the kennel boarding up to 100 dogs and 100 cats at one time, our own family pet’s as well as the one’s that got left behind. His parents even published a book ‘Sane Dogs & Englishmen’ containing all their knowledge on dog training and care. Frank, his Dad was a police dog trainer and was considered a ‘dog psychologist’ of his time, travelling the world to advise owners on their dog’s behaviour. It was highly unlikely that with his upbringing and ingrained expertise he wouldn’t be involved in some way with dogs in his life.

‘It’s a dog’s life’ is a family run business. We will provide a personal dependable service that you can rely on and trust. Whilst your dog is with us they will be in good hands. All our walkers are first aid trained, DBS checked and have public liability insurance. The dogs will travel in a fully equipped modern vehicle with travel crates and first aid kit as standard. We offer free consultations where one of our walkers will come to your house to meet you and your dog, learn your commands, and discuss which service you require. We will always try to accommodate your needs and be as flexible as possible. Whether you require a daily walk, once a week pop-ins, last minute help or our favourite, a countryside adventure, book a free consultation with us to see what services will suit you and your dog.
