If you’re a busy pet parent in St. Louis, you know how hectic life can get—between work, errands, and trying to snag a spot on I-44 without losing your mind. But there’s one thing you shouldn’t leave to chance: your dog’s daily walk.


At House of Paws Pet Care, we work with pet parents all over St. Louis, University City, Clayton, Maplewood, and many other surrounding neighborhoods, and we’ve seen firsthand how game-changing it is to schedule regular dog walks—just like you would a meeting, workout, or dentist appointment.


Here’s why more St. Louis dog parents are making dog walking part of their permanent routine (and how it benefits you and your pup).

Dogs Thrive on Routine—Especially in a Busy City

Whether you live in a Central West End high-rise or a cozy Dogtown bungalow, your dog doesn’t care how cool your neighborhood is—what they want is consistency. A reliable walking schedule helps reduce anxiety and supports healthy habits. Plus, a midday walk helps break up long days while you’re at work or school, so your dog isn’t bored, stressed, or staring out the window waiting for you.


St. Louis Schedules Are Jam-Packed

Between city commutes, school pickups, and post-work happy hours on South Grand, it’s easy to forget that your dog needs a break, too. That’s where recurring dog walking in St. Louis comes in.


HoP Tip: Setting up a regular walking schedule ensures your pup stays active and cared for—even on your busiest days. Ask us about our discounts and packages!


It’s a Health Boost—for Both of You

We’re not just talking potty breaks here. Our dog walks provide:

  • Physical exercise (important for all breeds!)

  • Mental enrichment through sniffing + exploring

  • Socialization and stimulation

  • Relief from loneliness and boredom


💡 Did you know? Dogs who get daily walks often have fewer behavioral issues and sleep better at night.


You’ll Lock in Your Spot Before the Fall Rush

As St. Louis schools reopen and folks head back into the office, our dog walking schedule fills up fast. Booking a recurring dog walk package now means you’ll secure your preferred time slot—and never have to scramble again.

  • And more!
