Professional Dog Running
Service in Kirkland, WA
We started by being the fastest walkers on the Eastside, and now we’re doubling down to meet growing demand.
For many Eastsiders, returning to a busy routine means finding less time for their dog’s exercise. Between work, family, and personal commitments, fitting in consistent enrichment can be tough.
Whether you’re back in the office or prioritizing personal time, we help restore the balance with high-energy runs tailored to your dog’s needs. So you can come home to a calm, happy companion, ready to enjoy the rest of your day.
Breeds of all sizes need consistent strenuous exercise.
All dogs need consistent, strenuous exercise, but some breeds require more than a casual walk. While a 2.5-mile-per-hour stroll might suffice for many dogs, even small working breeds need structured, high-energy exercise to stay happy and healthy.
If you have a high-drive dog, you might not realize they’re under-exercised just because you walk them regularly. We provide the intense, goal-driven workouts they crave by giving them the “job” they need to feel fulfilled.
Why Dog Running?
Our clients value their time and peace of mind. Adding dog running to your dog’s routine isn’t just a luxury; it’s a game-changer for both you and your dog.
Your Dog Will Remember Us:
Dogs are creatures of habit, and when we show up, they’ll remember. Our clients are often surprised to see their dogs eagerly waiting for our arrival, knowing the exact time and day of the week we’re coming. It’s a routine they look forward to!
Your Dog Will Be Tired: Tiring your dog out on weekends is one thing, but regular, routine runs change the game. When we find the right balance of exercise and frequency, even high-drive working dog(s) can become “couch potatoes”.
Your Dog Will Be Easier to Live With:
Does your dog have destructive tendencies? That pent-up energy can often lead to unwanted behaviors, especially in active breeds. Whether it’s chewing your slippers or pacing the house, dog running helps redirect that energy into something productive. A tired dog is a well-behaved dog!
How Does this work?
We use online scheduling to make booking easier for you and your runner.
Here’s what our process looks like for new clients:
Step One
The first step is to either book, or reach out with any questions if you needed some questions answered beforehand.
Step Two
Meet your runner
Our runner will meet you in your home and assess your dog(s) fitness level and capacity for exercise.
Step Three
First run
When you book a consultation, you will have the option of adding on a run at that time, so the first run takes place on the same day (provided your runner deems it safe to do so).
Your runner will have post-run insights into suggested intensity and frequency of runs for your dog.
Step Four
Book recurring runs
Schedule recurring runs with your runner through our online booking system. Secure your spot in their weekly calendar, and specify if we’re entering your home while you’re at work or if we’re knocking on your door.
