Pet lovers, we get it—you see a cute dog out for a walk and your first thought is to come over and say hello. Or maybe you recognize it as your neighbor’s dog and want to come over to give a quick belly rub.
🛑But, please, do not approach.
It’s best practice for pet sitters and dog walkers to avoid interactions with others while walking clients’ dogs.
Anything could happen, and pet-care professionals do not want anyone—you, the dog or themselves—to get injured.
So if a dog walker asks you to stop from approaching, please don’t think they are being rude. They are just prioritizing safety!
