We’ll tailor exercise to your dog’s needs! Whether that’s quick check-ins for puppies and seniors, longer outings for high-energy pups, or even our 90-minute Adventure Walks that include fun new places, door-to-door rides, and the option to be matched with a buddy.
Every dog deserves the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and love. Our walks are personalized to fit your goals and your dog’s unique needs. We consider their age, energy level, breed, and personality when designing a care routine. From quick potty breaks and gentle strolls to energetic jogs or scenic trail walks — we love them all!
We handle all the details: refreshing water, offering affection and enrichment, and reinforcing your dog’s good manners using your preferred treats, toys, and cues. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a jog around the block, or a trail adventure, every outing is delivered with love, attention, and kindness. We offer neighborhood dog walking visits for 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
Puppy Care
We help puppies with house training by scheduling visits with more specific timing to set them up for success.
Puppies need extra tailored care as they move through developmental stages. We are here to help you navigate this stage-making your schedule work with your puppies needs.
Active, rambunctious dogs thrive with structure, boundaries, and plenty of activity. Senior dogs may need extra patience, assistance, and flexibility as their abilities change day to day- and we’re here to support them every step of the way.
ADVENTURE WALKS & Field Trips
For dogs who crave more than a neighborhood walk, our Adventure Walks bring enrichment and joy to a whole new level.
These 90-minute excursions (including travel) offer stimulating experiences tailored to your individual dog in new environments like Haverford College Nature Trail, Cynwyd Heritage Trail, General Wayne Park, Merion Botanical Park, Suburban Square, Wynnewood Valley Park, South Ardmore Park, Powder Mill Park, Penn Wynne Park, West Mill Creek Park, Pennsy Trail, Wissahickon Valley Park Trail – Forbidden Drive (Valley Green).
Darcy, my Old English Sheepdog, loves her walks with all of the walkers at Dog Gone Walking! They were a huge help when I was recovering from surgery. She gets great exercise and opportunities to socialize and explore the neighborhood! She loves her walks!

Easy Scheduling
Above and beyond care! We have been very happy clients of Dog Gone Walking. Our Great Dane puppy Artemis is beautifully unique in size and energy needs. So, Ilene’s team has arranged adventure walks at nearby trails playgroups with suitable playmates and even swimming in the creek to keep our dog engaged and happy while we are away. They are accommodating for our dog and also for us. We appreciate the ease with which we can schedule care, including making changes. Most of al, we keep going back because they are incredibly conscientious Whenever Artemis has any change in behavior or condition, we get near, judgment-free communication. Ilene even helped us with an early medical diagnosis that I didn’t catch, allowing us to get Artemis to the vet for early care-plus we get pictures and a detailed recap of every visit. We don’t trust anybody quite like them.

Let’s build a walking plan your dog will love
Did you know? Reinforcing commands like sit, stay, heel, look, and come can boost your dog’s confidence and reduce stress. During walks, we can support the training you do at home or introduce the basics if your pup is just starting out. With extra personal attention and mental stimulation, Dog Gone Walking helps your dog build trust, stay engaged, and adapt better in social situations.
