Our Walkers
Yuppie Puppy Dog Walking staff of trained walkers will be your dog’s faithful friend to provide the exercie and outdoor experience that keeps your dog healthy.
Our walkers are trained in proper techniques for human and dog encounters while walking. We use a double lead system for leashing the dog to ensure safety due to the many types of leashes and harnesses we encounter with each dog and owner.

Not all dogs are the same
Yuppie Puppy Dog Walking places great importance on learning what are your needs for your pet. Our staff will take time to learn your dog’s behavior and your care preferences.

Controlled access to your home is serious
Our concern for your saftey and privacy is ensured by our background checked and vetted staff. We keep your keys in a coded storage system that ensures privacy and our software records the entry and exit of each employee with time stamps so we are aware of the all activity of our walkers.

Frequently asked questions
How long is a walk?
Our visits start at 20 minutes long.We can set them up in 20 minute increments beyond that, depending on your and your dog’s specific needs. Please contact Danielle to discuss a schedule that would work best for you!
Do you perform background checks on your employees?
Absolutely! Giving someone controlled access to your home is serious business. Our concern for your safety and privacy is ensured by our background checked and vetted staff.
Will my dog be walked with someone else’s dog?
Our visits start at 20 minutes long. We can set them up in 20 minute increments beyond that,
depending on your and your dog’s specific needs. Please contact Danielle to discuss a
schedule that would work best for you!
I have two dogs, will I be billed twice?
Nope! Our pricing includes up to two dogs in the same immediate family.
Will I always have the same walker?
Creating a consistent routine for your dog is extremely important to us. Not only does it help us to establish that special experience for your dog that we discussed above, but just like us humans, we know how beneficial it is for your dog to see the familiar face of their best friend every day. If you have a regular recurring schedule with YPDW, then you can rest assured that Fido is creating a special bond with one of our professional walkers. If your schedule is a little bit more inconsistent, we will always do our best to keep your dog’s walker as consistent as possible. However, we have an accomplished team of walkers that we are confident could make any dogs day!
Can I meet my walker first?
Prior to beginning services with YPDW our manager, Danielle, will come out to do a thorough Meet & Greet with you and your dog. At this time, Danielle will go over all of our procedures with you and answer any questions you have along the way. Danielle will pair your dog with one of our skilled walkers that she believes that your individual dog would do best with. This pairing is very important to her because it all comes back to creating that unequivocal experience for you and your dog. In certain cases, for instance if you have a very nervous dog, Danielle may suggest setting up another Meet & Greet with you and your assigned walker prior to beginning services so that your dog is as comfortable as possible.
Can you feed my dog? Can you give my dog medication?
In short, absolutely! Our visits can be tailored to your specific needs. Please keep in mind that what we offer your pets are experiences – Whether that is a walk, a walk and a feeding, playing fetch in the yard, belly rubs on the couch, going for a run, or any other special requests you may have. Depending on what your specific needs and requests are, we may suggest that you choose a 40 minute or longer experience as opposed to our regular 20 minute experience so we can make sure that your dog gets it all!
We are going out of town, can you do overnight care?
We do not provide overnight in-home care. Our sister company, Doggie Day Play, is a great option for when you are out of town. However, if they are all booked up or you feel that your dog would do best at home, we are more than happy to create an in-home schedule that fits your needs. We typically recommend 3-4 visits per day at varying time lengths. Please give us a call so we can tailor an in-home schedule that makes you and your dog happy!
Why do you require two sets of keys? Where are my keys kept?
We require two sets of keys for several reasons, but the main one being that we always want to make sure that your dog is taken care of in every circumstance. Keeping a second set of your keys at our office ensures that. Whether one of our walkers has an emergency and has to leave right away, is running late or accidentally drops your key in the snow (it’s happened!), we will always have a second key to grab right away so your dog is not left hanging. Simple as that. We keep your keys in a locked and coded storage system that ensures privacy.
