Reliable Dog Walking Services to Keep Your Pet Active and Happy
Maple’s Coop walking services provide dependable, safe walks tailored to your dog’s fitness level, temperament, and routine. Whether you need a daily midday walk for an energetic pup or an occasional neighborhood stroll during a busy week, our walkers create purposeful outings that deliver exercise, enrichment, and potty breaks.
Why Professional Dog Walking Matters
Regular walks are essential for a dog’s physical health and mental well-being. Professional walkers ensure consistency, provide positive social exposure, and use trained techniques to maintain safety and control in public spaces. Walks reduce stress, keep dogs lean and healthy, and provide outlets for natural behaviors that might otherwise be expressed through unwanted activity at home.

Types of Walks Offered
Standard Walk (30 minutes)
- Balanced walk for potty needs, moderate exercise, and basic leash manners.
- Ideal for small or calm dogs and quick midday breaks.
Extended Walk (60 minutes)
- Greater exercise and enrichment for high-energy breeds, puppy socialization, or multiple dog households that tolerate group walks.
Adventure Walks
- Trail or park-based walks for dogs who thrive on natural terrain and mental stimulation. Adventure walks require additional assessment for off-leash recall and environmental readiness.
Puppy Walks
- Shorter, more frequent outings suitable for young dogs with developing bladders and social needs. Walkers focus on leash training and positive exposure to new stimuli.
Group Walks
- Selected group walks for compatible dogs, supervised to ensure safety and positive social experiences.
