Supporting Educators: Dog Walking for Teachers and School Administrators

Teachers and school administrators are among the most dedicated and hardworking professionals. Their days start earlier than most, often filled with lesson planning, supervision, meetings, and after-school commitments. With such a tight schedule, it’s no wonder their time and their pets’ routines can fall by the wayside. Supporting educators is one of our favorite things to do at Animal Admiration. Dog walking for teachers and school administrators can improve their quality of life as well as their dogs’.

The Benefits of Dog Walking for Teachers & School Administrators

Dog walking isn’t just about giving a pet a potty break and much-needed exercise. It’s a lifeline for both physical and mental well-being, especially for busy educators. Here’s how:

For the Teacher

• Reduces Stress: The stress of grading and lesson planning is plenty. When you hire a dog walker, you don’t have to feel pulled in a bunch of directions. We’ll care for your dog(s) so you can focus on work, be productive, and then head home with ease once the day is over. If ever there is an emergency, you can count on us to keep you informed while we care for your pet on your behalf.
• Improves Focus: Knowing that your dog is taken care of during the workday means less worry and more focus on students, staff, and the invaluable work that you do.
• Eliminates the Post-Work Rush Home: When you hire a dog walker, your dog enjoys a break in your day so you don’t have to rush home after work. No need to be worried about your pet waiting on you in agony or having had an accident. Better yet, no accidents to clean up after a long workday!
• Inspires Peace of Mind: Trusting your dog’s care to an established company like ours provides you with peace of mind while you’re at work, knowing your pet is in the hands of the most capable professionals and caregivers.

For the Dog

• Improved Physical Health: Regular dog walks mean pets get their much-needed exercise, keeping obesity, boredom, and anxious behaviors at bay.
• Pet Enrichment: Consistent walks offer dogs stimulation, socialization, and a routine, making them happier and more enriched, keeping them balanced and at ease.
• Access to the Outdoors & Reinforced Potty Training: Dogs have to pee and poop, and they don’t always do their business on our schedule. Having a dog walker allows your dog more access to the outdoors and reinforces potty training by encouraging appropriate elimination.

Why Early Times Matter for Educators

At Animal Admiration Pet Care, we recognize that educators’ days don’t run on a typical 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why our earlier morning time block is a favorite among teachers and school administrators. Our visits start as early as 11 AM, ensuring that your dog gets a walk or a potty break at a time that works best for your workday. If you need something earlier, we can work with you as early as 9 AM.

Flexibility Built for Educators’ Unique Schedules

One of the concerns for teachers is that school calendars are often filled with holidays, in-service days, and extended breaks. We work with enough teachers and administrators to know that flexibility is key when choosing a dog walker. That’s why we offer the following:

• No Monthly Minimums: At Animal Admiration Pet Services, there’s no requirement for a set number of visits per month. This means you only pay for the services you need.
• Pause When You Need: Going on summer break? Enjoying winter holidays? You can easily interrupt your dog walking service during school breaks with zero penalties or hassles.
• Easily Resume When Ready: When you’re back in the classroom, simply let us know. We’ll pick up where we left off.
