The Beat

Three ways we show up

Every officer on our roster is background-checked, pet CPR certified, and covered by our insurance — whichever service you book.

Dog Walking

Solo or small-group walks around your block, the park, or your dog's favorite fire hydrant — with a GPS-tracked route and photo report every time.

30 / 60-min & group walks

In-Home Pet Sitting

A familiar face in your own home — meals, medication, playtime, and company while you're at work or out of town.

45 & 60-min visits

Drop-In & Puppy Visits

Quick potty breaks, feeding, and playtime for pups who just need a mid-day check-in — plus extra patience for growing puppies.

20 & 30-min visits

How Dispatch Works

Four steps from request to routine

No app downloads required — just a quick message and we take it from there.

STEP 01

File a request

Tell us your dog's name, address, and the schedule you need.

STEP 02

Meet your officer

We match you with a walker for a free in-person meet-and-greet.

STEP 03

Walk gets logged

Every visit includes a GPS route, photos, and a written report card.

STEP 04

Repeat on autopilot

Set a recurring schedule and stop thinking about it entirely.

"I started Walk Patrol in 2016 after years working as a vet tech in the city — I kept seeing dogs who just needed someone reliable to show up. Every walker on our team is someone I'd trust with my own dog. That's still the only hiring bar that matters." — Jess Rivera, Founder
