Why Consistent Dog Walking Matters
Regular dog walking is more than exercise. A consistent walking routine can support your dog’s physical health, mental stimulation, bathroom habits, and overall behavior, especially when your schedule gets busy.
For many working pet parents, a midday dog walker can make the difference between a dog who spends the whole day waiting and a dog who gets movement, attention, enrichment, and a much-needed potty break.
Consistent dog walks can help:
* Give dogs structured exercise during the week
* Reduce excess energy that can lead to chewing, barking, pacing, or restlessness
* Support potty routines for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs
* Break up long stretches alone during the workday
* Provide mental enrichment through sniffing, movement, and one-on-one attention
* Support leash manners and calmer daily routines
* Give pet parents peace of mind with real time visit updates
Whether your dog needs weekly dog walking, a midday potty break, or occasional support during a busy season, a predictable routine can help your dog feel more settled and supported.

Potty Break Visits for Puppies, Senior Dogs, and Midday Relief
Potty break visits are a helpful option for dogs who need quick bathroom relief, a check-in, fresh water, and a little attention during the day. These visits are especially useful for puppies still building bladder control, senior dogs who need more frequent bathroom breaks, dogs with medical needs, and homes without dog doors.
Each visit focuses on your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine. We keep potty breaks simple, positive, and low stress, while giving your dog a chance to stretch, reset, and avoid waiting too long between bathroom breaks.

What to Expect When Getting Started With Dog Walking
Free Meet and Greet for Dog Walking Services
Before your first dog walk, we schedule a free 30 minute meet and greet. This visit helps us get to know your dog, review your routine, confirm service details, and make sure dog walking is a safe and appropriate fit.
During the meet and greet, we will review:
* Your dog’s walking routine and potty break needs
* Leash, harness, collar, and equipment setup
* Entry instructions and home access details
* Your dog’s personality, comfort level, and behavior history
* Special care notes if needed
* Safety concerns, including reactivity, fear, pulling, or escape risk
* Your preferred schedule and visit length
Our goal is to make each dog walking visit safe, predictable, and low stress for both your dog and your family.

Private Dog Walks and Household Dogs
Every dog walk is private and based on your household. We do not randomly group dogs from different homes together for regular dog walking visits.
In most cases, one dog walker can safely walk up to two non reactive dogs from the same household at one time. However, safety always comes first. Dogs who are strong pullers, reactive, fearful, elderly, recovering from injury, or easily overstimulated may need separate walks or a modified plan.
This is especially important for puppies, senior dogs, large breed dogs, and dogs who need extra handling support.

Dog Walking Safety Guidelines
To keep every dog, walker, and neighborhood safe, FurBabies & Friends follows clear walking guidelines during each visit.
Our dog walking guidelines include:
* Dogs must have properly fitted walking equipment
* Dogs from different households are not walked together
* Reactive or fearful dogs may need solo walks or training support
* Walk length, pace, and route are adjusted for weather and safety
* Arizona heat conditions are always considered before and during walks
* Dogs showing signs of illness, injury, distress, or unsafe behavior may have the walk modified
* Pet parents receive updates so they know how the visit went
If conditions are unsafe for a full walk, we may recommend a shorter potty break, indoor enrichment, backyard time, or a modified visit focused on safety.
Dog walking should make your life easier, not add more stress. The meet and greet helps us create a clear plan before services begin, so your dog walker knows your dog’s needs, your home routine, and your expectations from the start.

Leash Training and Walking Support
Walking should feel safe and manageable for your dog, your walker, and the public. However, some dogs need extra support before regular dog walking services are the best fit.
Dogs who pull heavily, bark, lunge, freeze, panic, or become overstimulated on leash may need training support before transitioning into a consistent dog walking routine. In these situations, we may recommend Walk & Train sessions, a structured service led by Kristie that combines professional dog walking with hands-on leash training support. These sessions focus on improving leash manners, building confidence around distractions, and creating calmer, more enjoyable walks using force-free, positive reinforcement methods.
Leash training support may be helpful for dogs who:
* Pull strongly on leash
* Bark or lunge at dogs, people, bikes, or cars
* Freeze, hide, or refuse to walk
* Become overexcited or overstimulated outside
* Need help building confidence in real-world environments
* Need safer leash handling before regular dog walking visits
Our goal is always safety, consistency, and long-term success. If your dog needs more structure than a standard walk can provide, Kristie can help create a positive reinforcement training plan that supports better leash manners, prepares your dog for safer, more enjoyable walks while providing tools and tactics to keep you and your dog safe when out walking.

Group Dog Walking Events and Pack Walks
In addition to private dog walking services, FurBabies & Friends also hosts seasonal group dog walking events and group dog pack walks in Glendale and the Phoenix West Valley. These walks are separate from our regular dog walking visits and are designed to give dogs and their people a structured way to practice leash skills, build confidence, and enjoy calm movement around other dogs.
Pack walks are not off leash playgroups. Dogs remain leashed, handlers stay with their own dogs, and the focus is on safe, controlled walking in real world environments. These events can be a great fit for dogs who benefit from gentle exposure, structured movement, and positive experiences around other dogs at a comfortable distance.
Pack walks may be a good fit for:
* Dogs who need more practice walking calmly near distractions
* Pet parents who want structured leash practice in public spaces
* Dogs who enjoy being around other dogs but still need personal space
* Friendly dogs who benefit from movement, routine, and enrichment
* Puppies and adolescent dogs learning how to focus in real world settings
* Owners who want a low pressure way to build confidence with their dog
Because safety matters, pack walks are managed differently than regular dog walking visits. Dogs must remain under control, handlers are responsible for their own dogs, and dogs who are highly reactive, aggressive, or unable to safely walk near other dogs may need private training support before joining a group walk.

What Dog Walking Clients Are Saying
Kristie is amazing and you can see the love she has for dogs. Not only is she patient with the dogs but the owners as well. I used to struggle walking either of our dogs using both hands. Now I can walk either of them one handed. They are 72 and 76 lbs so you can imagine my excitement not being taken for a walk by them. If you are looking for a compassionate yet firm, knowledgeable trainer, she's the one to call.
Kristie and her team are fabulous. Kristie’s ability to immediately bond with your dog is amazing and her training techniques work! I also hired her team to walk my dog when I had an injury. Vanessa was so helpful just not walking my dog but helped bring in garbage bins and even replace a water job. She treated my dog as if she were her own. I highly recommend Fur Babies and Friends.
When we got our 2nd dog Nova it was an uphill battle from the beginning. She had so much anxiety and was afraid of everyone and everything. Kristie was able to help over the years with training, walks and grooming. Looking back our dog has come so far and I'm not sure if we would have been able to make the progress we did without Kristie's help.
I've had both my puppers go through dog training with FurBabies &Friends and it was great. We also have them come twice a week to get our kiddos out on a walk. I would recommend them every time im asked.
My wife and I have been very impressed. originally rescued a Brittany in Sept 2023. Rueben was almost a year old and crate trained, so that was no issue in my continuing to work a hybrid schedule working from home and at the office. Then we rescued our puppy Opal in December and life got a lot more complicated. I located Kristi through Yelp and she initially did an in-home site visit and provided me with all of the necessary insurance documentation on her end. I have someone come in 2-4 times a week for an hour each visit to give the dogs sufficient out of crate time. Everyone from Kristi's crew have been great. They text me when they arrive and when they leave, along with pics from their visit and a short summary of their stay. We also just hired Kristi for some in-home training for Rueben, who is a hard puller when walking and a counter surfer. It's evident just in spending 10 minutes with Kristi that she knows what she is talking about. She's been providing invaluable advice and pointers. Rueben is a challenge, but I'm confident if we follow her training we'll have Rueben behaving his best.
Most excellent pet service around!! We started when during a walk, my husband fell and twisted his ankle. They were fast and reliable to take over. Our dog, Dex absolutely loves all the walkers. That alone tells me they all treat him as there oWe have been using this great service for almost 2 yrs!!
Dog Walking F.A.Q. in Glendale, AZ
How do I book dog walking services with FurBabies & Friends?
Booking is simple. Contact us through our website, by phone, or by email so we can confirm your location, your dog’s needs, and current availability. Before services begin, we schedule a free meet and greet to review your dog’s routine, walking preferences, equipment, home access instructions, and safety needs.
Do you offer recurring weekly dog walking?
Yes. Many clients choose recurring weekly dog walking because it gives their dog a consistent routine and helps working pet parents plan ahead. Weekly dog walks also receive priority scheduling whenever possible and lower per-visit rates due to route efficiency. Regular dog walks can support exercise, mental enrichment, potty routines, and calmer behavior at home.
Do you offer midday dog walks for working pet parents?
Yes. Midday dog walks are one of our most popular options for working pet parents in Glendale and the West Valley. A midday dog walker can help your dog burn energy, take a potty break, enjoy fresh air, and break up a long day alone while you are at work.
Do you offer potty break visits for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs with medical needs?
Yes. Potty break visits are helpful for puppies, senior dogs, dogs on medications, dogs without dog door access, and dogs who need quick bathroom relief during the day. These visits focus on a short potty opportunity, fresh water, a check-in, and low-stress routine support.
How long are your dog walks?
Dog walks are available in 30, 45, and 60 minute options. Many clients choose the walk length based on their dog’s age, energy level, stamina, health, and routine. If you are unsure which option is best, we can recommend a plan during the meet and greet.
Are dog walks private or in groups?
Regular dog walking visits are private and based on your household. We do not randomly group dogs from different homes together. In most cases, one walker can safely walk up to two non-reactive dogs from the same household, but dogs may need separate walks if safety, size, reactivity, age, or handling needs require it.
What areas do you serve for dog walking in the West Valley?
We provide dog walking throughout Glendale and many surrounding West Valley areas. We also serve nearby locations such as Peoria and Sun City depending on distance, scheduling, and availability. If you are unsure whether you are in our service area, contact us with your address and we will confirm quickly.
What happens if it is too hot to walk my dog in Arizona?
Arizona heat can be dangerous for dogs, especially during the summer. When conditions are unsafe, we may adjust the walk length, choose shaded routes, provide a quick potty break, use backyard time, or offer indoor enrichment instead. Safety always comes first.
Are you bonded and insured, and are your dog walkers background checked?
Yes. FurBabies & Friends is bonded and insured, and our pet care team is background checked. We take trust seriously because you are allowing someone into your home and trusting us with your dog’s safety.
Do you offer last-minute dog walking services?
We do our best to accommodate last-minute requests when possible. Availability is usually easier for established clients because onboarding, home access details, and care instructions are already on file. For new clients, last-minute booking may be limited because a meet and greet is required before services begin.

It's been a huge relief having Fur Babies & Friends for our 2 dogs and 4 cats any time we're out of town. We just returned from our third trip hiring them and I swear there was some disappointment from my dogs that it wasn't Vanessa, Camryn, or Karen coming through the door.
Their organization and communication during visits is perfect! I always know exactly who is stopping by and when. I get photos after every visit, even of my cats who hide under beds and couches. The team is really good about reinforcing behaviors and routines with our high-energy dogs and making the most of their visit time.
We will happily be in touch for all our future trips!

My dog Jack is a rescue. He was aggressive and nervous around other dogs making it very difficult to take him on walks. After attending the sessions with Kristie, I can now confidently take him on walks, and enjoy doing so, as he has become much more calm when seeing other dogs. I took the private class in addition to the regular sessions. The sessions and classes helped me learn how to properly lead my dog, and encourage good behavior. Thank you Kristie!!
Dealing with an insecure dog who is leash reactive was very overwhelming and exhausting. Finding Kristie was a God sent. She has worked with me and Kane (dog) walking with us and teaching me proper techniques with Kane. This has built up my confidence and leadership so Kane will feel more secure. We have ups and downs on our walks but I take little wins in this battle of learned behavior. This is not a flip of a switch and he is cured but a work in progress. Kristie also worked with my working schedule and we watched out for overly hot days.
Kristie is amazing and you can see the love she has for dogs. Not only is she patient with the dogs but the owners as well. I used to struggle walking either of our dogs using both hands. Now I can walk either of them one handed. They are 72 and 76 lbs so you can imagine my excitement not being taken for a walk by them.

Kristie is absolutely amazing! We recently brought our first puppy into the house and were struggling in every way. We have now completed 2 of our 3 puppy in-home training sessions with Kristie and Yeti is turning into such a wonderful girl. I cannot recommend Kristie enough!! She is so patient teaching us how to be better puppy parents and to help Yeti become a well mannered pup. We couldn't be more thrilled with the progress so far. We are so relieved to find someone that Yeti and we love to help us navigate training!!
Kristie is amazing ! She turned our crazy puppy into a well behaved sweetheart. She took extra time with our Sammi and we are still reaping the benefits. Thank you again Kristie!!
FurBabies & Friends are incredible! We booked them to take care Sarge (He is a Germanshepard/Husky mix who is 10.5 years old ) Our trip was 9 days long so we wanted Sarge to be home and enjoy his own space. Kristie came to our house and met our family and Sarge. She was so personable and answered all my questions. (Sarge loved her too) Kristie then put together a schedule of who would visit each day and what time. Fast forward to the dog sitters—the team was amazing! We had a group text that we communicated with each other throughout the week. Each visit included a walk, playtime, and feeding. I was also provided with daily updates….pictures, videos, and texts about how each visit went. I am so grateful for meeting Kristie and her company. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my trip because I knew Sarge was in great hands. I highly recommend FurBabies & Friends for your upcoming pet needs

Vanessa was so helpful just not walking my dog but helped bring in garbage bins and even replace a water job. She treated my dog as if she were her own. I highly recommend Fur Babies and Friends.
Still the best trainer and groomer for our Alusky. Kristie is amazing.

Kristie was able to help over the years with training, walks and grooming. Looking back our dog has come so far and I'm not sure if we would have been able to make the progress we did without Kristie's help.
I've had both my puppers go through dog training with FurBabies &Friends and it was great. We also have them come twice a week to get our kiddos out on a walk. I would recommend them every time im asked.
Kristi is AMAZING! We adopted a very hyper puppy last summer and shortly after a fearful dog. We had started with a different trainer who was not hands on and when things weren’t getting better we started looking elsewhere. A friend recommended FurBabies and I wish we would have started with Kristi! She is very knowledgeable and hand on. She explains a dogs perspective and then demonstrates whatever it is she is teaching. She will make sure you understand and can also do the task before moving on. I can’t say enough how thankful I am. I went from crying in frustration to smiling at how proud I am of where we are today and that’s only because of Kristi! I would also highly recommended her for grooming and pet sitting. We have always hired friends to watch our pups but after our new puppy we realized that we needed a bit more. Kristi has a wonderful team who will come into your home with respect and love your babies while you are gone. You get multiple daily updates and pictures. It puts your mind at ease being away knowing your pups and home are being so well cared for! Again, I wish I would have heard about Kristi sooner! She is truly amazing at everything she does and I can’t recommend her enough!
