Reliable, affordable, convenient, communicative, friendly, locally-owned, pup-loving business!
My sweet pup Frida had a really tough time adjusting to my new work schedule and was chewing her paws raw with anxiety every day. I was in search of a dog walker who was compassionate, well informed, and genuinely passionate about taking care of dogs (to soothe both my dog's anxiety and my own!).
The trend these days is to use dog walking apps for supposed convenience and many people recommended these to me - but I had a gut feeling that Frida would benefit most from working with a consistent walker - someone who was interested in getting to know her quirks and to form a relationship that might improve her anxiety while I was at work.
After just a couple weeks of daily visits and walks with Kris, Frida stopped chewing her paws completely and continues to appear much happier and more at ease when I come home from work each day. As of this month, we have been working with Kris at CAP for almost 3 months. BONUS - her walking on leash has improved immensely too!
And in terms of convenience and correspondence, Kris is easy to reach, easy to talk to, affordable, very knowledgeable about dogs and her business, and provides fun photos and updates about their daily visits as they are happening :)
Choosing Capital Area Pups and allowing Frida to build a positive, reliable, fun-loving relationship with Kris has improved her quality of life - what more could one ask for in a dog walker!? read more
