Anyone know of any companies, especially ones that really exercise the dogs like going for hikes, that provide weekend walks?
Unless you or your partner have jobs that require you to work on a weekend, why do you even have a dog? You seem to be passing off the responsibility to others.

And as a “professional dog walker” myself I can’t believe the expectations of some owners regarding their dogs. No I cannot train your dog when I see them for 30 minutes a day at most.
If you have a high energy dog that needs rigorous exercise but you don’t have the capacity to provide it even on the weekends, why did you decide to get that particular dog?
Dog ownership has become something entirely different than it used to be and I say that having been in this field for 10 years.
People putting dogs in strollers, backpacks, calling themselves moms and dads, putting dogs on anti-depressants, it’s just truly insane and I feel bad for these animals. Because they’re ANIMALS. Not animatronic stuffed dolls.
Sorry, rant over.
