Some dogs prefer the comfort and calm of a personal walk. Whether your pup is shy, senior, recovering from injury, or simply enjoys solo time, our Private Walks give them the focused care, exercise, and affection they deserve—without the distractions of a group setting.

The Problem with Many Private Walks

Not all private walks are truly private or personalized.

Some walkers rush the outing, stick to the same short route, or fail to adapt to your dog’s needs. For dogs who require patience, special handling, or a slower pace, this can leave them unfulfilled or stressed.

Our Solution: Calm, Focused, Fully Customized

Paws at Play believes your dog’s walk should be designed around them—every time. That’s why we:

Adjust the pace, route, and activities to your dog’s energy, mood, and physical needs.
Provide gentle handling for shy, senior, or special-needs dogs.
Offer weekday and weekend availability to suit your schedule.
Keep you connected through our Time to Pet app with daily photos, videos, and personalized notes.

Pick Your Pup’s Perfect Plan

Choose from 15-, 30-, or 60-minute one-on-one walks with one of our experienced dog walkers—perfect for pups who prefer solo time. Whether they’re seniors, puppies, shy, or simply not into group adventures, each walk is tailored to your dog’s pace, personality, and energy level. Want to add more enrichment or companionship? Try our Private Walk + Visit option, which combines a personalized walk with dedicated hangout time for cuddles, play, or just some quiet company.
