Why this exists
I live in Riverwest. You live in Riverwest. Let's keep this simple.
When you're a dog owner and you've got to be gone all day, your dog is always in the back of your mind. It's huge knowing they're going to get a nice walk and some love and attention while you're gone.
There's an app for that. But do we really need to make it that complicated? I'm here, familiar, and easy to reach. And your dog gets a walk from someone who knows them (and the neighborhood).
How it works
Let's keep it simple.
Text me about your dog.
Let me know where you're at, what kind of walk your dog needs, and any leash or behavior info.
We meet.
I'll swing by your place for a 15-minute meet-and-greet to make sure your dog is comfortable, go over entry details, and talk through what kind of walk your dog likes best.
Your dog gets walked.
I'll send you a quick pic after so you know they got outside and made it back home happy.
Walk options
Choose the walk your dog needs.
I keep it simple by walking only your dog(s), and only in Riverwest.
Quick loop
Good for a quick potty break and some good old-fashioned attention. We'll talk about the right pace for your dog, whether they need to get a bunch of energy out or just want to get some fresh air.
Everyday walk
A solid everyday neighborhood walk with plenty of time to sniff around, explore Riverwest, and come home happy.
The long one
Got an active dog who needs a lot of exercise? We'll roam all over Riverwest, maybe stop by Kern Park to sniff the extra-good trees, and give your dog the movement they need.
Extra dog(s)
If you've got more than one dog, we can talk through pricing at the meet-and-greet. I only walk dogs from the same household together.
Trust & safety
Why only Riverwest?
If you've ever had a dog-loving neighbor who was home during the day with too much time on their hands, you know how big it is to be able to ask for help with your pup. By keeping it local, I can maximize my time walking dogs and minimize my time spent trying to get across town.
- Local neighbor. I live here. You've probably seen me out and about with my own pups, Trout and Goose. And I've got references. I'm not a random app walker coming in from across town.
- Meet-and-greet first. Because I'm local, it's easy for me to swing by so we can meet face-to-face. You'll get to show me the ropes with your dog in person.
- Photo update after every walk. Because we all need more dog photos in our days.
- Consistent care. I love getting to know dogs and making 'em happy with a great walk.

Frequently asked questions.
How much does a dog walk cost in Riverwest?
Right now, I charge $20 for a 20-minute walk, $25 for 30 minutes, and $40 for an hour. If you've got more than one dog that can be walked at the same time, we can talk about that at the meet-and-greet.
Can you walk more than one of my dogs at a time?
If you've got more than one dog that can be walked at the same time, we can talk about that at the meet-and-greet.
Will you be walking other dogs with mine?
No. Your dog's walk is your dog's walk. I can take more than one dog from the same household on a walk, but I've found it's less stressful for everyone if dogs are walked with their usual buddies.
What's a meet-and-greet?
Well, if you didn't bring me a casserole when I moved into Riverwest, this will be when we finally learn each other's names (and dogs' names). It's a quick, no-pressure hello to make sure you're comfortable with me, make sure I know the best way to pick up your dog, and talk through behavior notes. It should only take about 15 minutes.
Who are you?
If we haven't run into each other yet: Hi! I'm David. I'm a freelance designer (hence the kickass website) who loves to take a break from the computer and get out for a great walk. I'm also a doting dog-father to Goose and Trout.
Can I see a picture of your dogs?
Of course 🥰
