toward something

better.

We’ve all been there—working late, with back-to-back meetings, and worrying about how long our pets have been alone. It would be great to keep your pets happy and active while you take care of other things, right?

Our dog-walking service is here to help. We offer regular walks to add activity and fun to your dog’s day. Nature/Nurture’s experienced walkers specialize in both group and solo walks, tailored to your dog’s needs. This ensures they get the exercise and attention they need.

I’m interested in…

  • If your dog enjoys being around other pups, our group walks are a great choice!

    Once we understand your pet’s comfort level, we’ll pair them with a small group of friendly dogs. We match energy levels and personalities to ensure a fun and social outing. It’s a fantastic way for your dog to make new friends, get exercise, and enjoy exploring together.

    Group walks offer play, socialization, and adventure, keeping your dog active and entertained.

  • For dogs who want a quieter, more personalized experience, we offer solo walks. We provide focused attention and a pace that suits your dog's needs.

    Solo walks let your dog explore without group distractions; perfect for older, shy dogs, or those that like their own space. We tailor your dog's walk to their preferences, making sure they get the most out of their time outside.

the 7 reasons

why

you should hire a

dog walker:

  • Regular walks help your pets stay active, maintain a healthy weight, and support overall fitness. Just like us, pets enjoy overcoming challenges. It’s an important part of helping them become confident, healthy, and happy!

  • Pets may see the world differently from us, but we both need variety in our daily lives. New sights, smells, and experiences keep them mentally engaged, using up extra energy. Reduce boredom, and boredom-related behaviour problems disappear—who knew?

  • Booking in advance saves you money, time, and effort. Focus on other commitments, knowing your pets are in good hands.

    All our services, walks especially, can be booked for the long term at a special annual rate. You won’t need to organize appointments every week—book once, and we’ll handle the rest.

  • Regular care helps keep a steady routine that your pets can look forward to, even when you’re busy.

    Pets are creatures of habit, and need structure and stability to feel secure. When they know what to expect, they can relax and focus on other things.

  • Regular visits offer an extra set of eyes and ears to watch for changes in your pet’s health, diet, or behaviour. We’ll report any changes to you, so you can take action yourself, or share them with your vet.

  • Pets need physical activity, a stable environment, and plenty of quality time—giving them a way to use up extra energy can boost their mental wellbeing, and reduce problem behaviours.

  • Group walks expose you dog to new people, pets, and places—a critical step in their social development.

    If your pet is shy or lower-energy, solo walks are a great choice! They'll still get gradual exposure, but in a quieter, safer environment.

    First-time pets always trial with an experienced walker before placement in a group setting.
