Any Q

How long can you go without walking your dog?

Adult dogs age one year and up: up to eight hours, but ideally no more than six. Senior dogs age eight and up: depending on size and health, anywhere from two to six hours.

Is it OK to only walk my dog once a day?

So what's the definitive answer to “how often should I walk my dog?” Well, at least once a day, but preferably twice—not counting potty breaks. If a busy work day is making it hard to fit in a midday dog walk, no worries. Reach out to a Rover walker to help meet all your dog's walking needs.
