Dog Walking Services in Lafayette, CO
Staring at the clock, your pointer mix has been monitoring the time elapsed since you got back from errands. By 2:45 they're stationed near the back door, alternating between staring at you and staring at the leash on its hook. Wordless, but clear communication all the same. You know that walk time isn't a suggestion.
That’s because dogs operate on schedules more precise than your phone's calendar app. So if you push their walk back twenty minutes, you'll get feedback. It might come in the form of persistent whining or anxious pacing. If you’re really unlucky, it’ll come as that look which gives you shivers of guilt even when you're trapped in a video call you didn't schedule and definitely didn't want to attend.
But life doesn't always cooperate with dog expectations. You might find yourself stuck on 36 watching your speedometer switch between 4 and 5 miles per hour. Your afternoon meeting might go an hour past its scheduled end time. Or you might find yourself dealing with one of those Colorado days where the weather swings wildly and you're just not prepared for…whatever's happening outside right now.
Woofie's® of Boulder is here to help you by providing Lafayette dog walking when your schedule is packed. We show up consistently so your dog gets their walk, even when you’re busy or out of town.
Why Choose Woofie’s® for Lafayette, CO Dog Walking?
Some dogs need to investigate every scent in the neighborhood. Every tree trunk, every mailbox, and every spot where another dog paused yesterday is critically important information and it requires deliberate analysis. And there are other dogs who live for the sprint, who have enough energy to power a reactor, and who need to go, go, go if you don’t want them chewing up your baseboards.
Here's what our Lafayette dog walking service includes:
- Walkers who can read dog behavior — We can tell in minutes which dogs approach every stranger with enthusiasm (friendship opportunities!) and which ones need distance and calm energy. That means your hyperactive terrier will get different treatment than your cautious senior mixed breed.
- Choose a visit length that works for you — For a quick potty break, we can be in and out in 15 minutes. But if you’ve got a dog that needs some serious exercise, we can stay for 30 or 60 minutes. It’s your call.
- Safety comes first — We’re very serious about proper leash usage and situational awareness. So if we encounter a loose dog or your neighbor starts running the pressure washer and the noise makes a real racket, we’ll make sure your dog doesn’t run off.
- You can confirm the walk by GPS — Where we go, how long we’re out, and the distance covered are all tracked in our app and you can check any time you like.
- A complimentary initial consultation — It’s during this time that we assess your dog's temperament and preferences while you see if we’re a good fit with zero pressure to commit.
Regular dog walking is good for tiring out pups and letting them go to the bathroom, but the real benefits go far beyond that. Dogs need novel sensory input to stay mentally balanced too, and regular walks will reduce anxiety levels, prevent boredom-driven destructive behaviors, and improve overall health.
So if you’d like a calmer, happier dog without having to rearrange your schedule, give us a call!
