Pet Pals was founded with the belief that people can live the lives they want while having the loved, cared for, and well-behaved pets they want. Ongoing training, testing, and practicing for the unexpected is one way Pet Pals remains the premier pet sitting company in Sioux Falls and surrounding area.
The relationship between dogs and humans has grown over centuries into something truly unique in our world. And as such, the place we give to dogs in society and our hearts has become unlike any other. Some hold jobs, some are celebrities, some even help protect our country, and despite similarities, they are all unique with their own personalities. They are our friends, emotional support, protectors, and even family members. In many cases, it’s endless love and joy they bring to our lives and a bottomless feeder pool of things to talk about/stories to tell with others. At the same time, dogs require care and attention and rely on us to meet and fulfill their needs. They need us to let them outside to for their nature calls. They need us to communicate on their level. They need us to ensure they have proper exercise (physical and mentally) through frequent walks, fresh air, fresh smells, and even playtime outside.
And this is where dog walkers come to save the day! Dog walkers help bridge the gap and overcome conflicts between people living the lives they want and yet having the well cared for and healthy dogs they want. While some have set schedules in the morning and evening or are well intended with a plan for their dogs outside needs, it can be challenging for busy people to take them on walks or otherwise care for all of a dog’s outdoor needs.
Dog walkers bring seemingly endless benefits and certainly those well beyond walking the dog and picking up poop. Everyone has a tale about the dog walker who hurried across town to let the dog out when its owner was unable to get home when originally planned, who watered the plants, fed the fish, and kept an eye on the house, and so much more. There’s fascinating stories about dog walkers transforming dogs into the pets people dream of, being at people’s homes at the right time to turn water off to suddenly broken pipes, report air conditioning or heating outages, or stumbling into endless possibilities of things that may happen. Everyday dog walkers go above and beyond the call of duty and most people are unaware of how much goes into the trade and how difficult the work can be.
National Dog Walker Appreciation Day provides dog walkers the recognition they’ve long deserved.
