🐾 Adventure Walks for Active Dogs
Hi! I'm Monique, an Australian farm girl who's been surrounded by working dogs my entire life. I grew up with Kelpie sheepdogs and have always been amazed by a dogs intelligence, loyalty, and energy. I've called Atlanta home for nearly 10 years and spend much of my free time outdoors. As an endurance athlete, I'm already out walking and hiking several times a week, so I love bringing an energetic four-legged companion along for the adventure. If your dog thrives on long walks in nature or by the river in addition to neighborhood strolls, you've found the right walker. I specialize in giving active dogs the exercise and mental stimulation they crave through longer walks on the Atlanta BeltLine, local parks, the Chattahoochee and nature trails. What you can expect: • Long, engaging walks tailored to your dog's energy level • Plenty of water breaks and a safety-first approach • Lots of sunshine and fresh air • Photo and video updates so you can follow along on our adventures • Lots of positive attention, encouragement, and affection

Safety, trust & environment
Your doggo’s safety and wellbeing always come first. I’m especially passionate about caring for active dogs who love long walks, trail hikes and exploring the outdoors, but I’m equally happy to care for dogs who prefer a slower stroll, a backyard hangout or plenty of couch time. For trail adventures, I choose dog-friendly routes based on your dog’s fitness, age, temperament and experience, and I always carry water, waste bags and a phone. I keep a close eye on dogs throughout our time together and follow your instructions around leash use, recall, feeding, medications and any other routines that help your dog feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pup is an energetic trail companion or a senior who enjoys a gentle walk and lots of cuddles, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy, safe and having a great time.

Schedule
I’m currently available Monday–Friday from 7am–6pm, with plenty of flexibility depending on your dog’s needs. For longer trail runs and hikes, I require a minimum hour booking however 90 mins to 120 mins is best to allow for travel time. I prefer early mornings before rush-hour traffic or between 10am–12pm, when we can make the most of the cooler, quieter hours outdoors. I’m also happy to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins and other pet-care needs throughout the day.
