Dog Walking
​
What kind of dog walking do you provide?
Dog walking includes an exclusive one-on-one walk with an experienced and certified dog walker. We provide daily dog walks from 6:00am until 8:00pm 365 days a year, exclusively in the Hyde Park Neighborhood. You will have your own account with our easy-to-use app so that you can reach us and request services with ease! You will receive a notification when your Pet Care Professional arrives, and a personalized report card once the visit is complete, including photos and a map of where we went.
​
Who are your Dog Walkers?
All of our Pet Care Professionals are carefully vetted, selected, and extensively trained. We do not use independent contractors and all of our Pet Care Professionals are all actual employees of Hyde Bark. Each employee goes through an extensive hiring and training process, including a background check.
Before starting, each employee first completes multiple online training courses in which they must score 100% on each test to pass. Next, they do between 20-40 hours of on-the-job training. We continue to mentor, supervise and support employees throughout their tenure with us.
​
Our employees enjoy benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, mileage reimbursement, and we are proud to pay a living wage. All of these things help us to attract top applicants with career-focused minds. Many of our employees have been with us for years, and most are full-time, meaning this is what they do for a living!
We are an all-inclusive employer and welcome LGBTQ-identifying individuals and are proud to have a diverse team. We take hiring very seriously and only choose the very best and most qualified applicants. To learn more about our hiring and training process, please review our Jobs tab.

​
*Please note: since most of our employees are full time, in oder to ensure you have a great walker, we do require an advance schedule (walks scheduled by Sunday for the upcoming week) and short-notice "on demand" walks are not our specialty.
