"They are life savers and I don't know how I could own a dog without their help. My dog gets a midday walk every single day and comes home happy and exhausted."

Recurring weekday walks from background-checked professionals who know your dog by name.
Your dog gets the routine they need. You get to focus on your workday. Photo updates and a full visit report after every walk, so you never have to wonder whether we showed up.
Away Home & Pet Care provides professional daily dog walking in Ogden, Utah and surrounding Weber County communities. All walkers are W-2 employees (not independent contractors) who are background-checked, bonded, insured, Pet CPR and First Aid certified, and Fear-Free trained. Founded in 2007, we serve Ogden, South Ogden, North Ogden, Washington Terrace, Riverdale, Roy, South Weber, and Uintah within a 10-mile radius of Ogden.
You're at work. Your dog is home. And you're spending half the day hoping your walker follows through. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
You've been burned before. A last-minute cancellation. A walker who may or may not have shown up. A dog who's bouncing off the walls when you finally get home. Your dog's midday walk deserves to be handled like a professional appointment, not a favor.
We're a professional dog walking company with W-2 employees who show up on time, send you updates after every walk, and treat your home like their own. That's the standard here, not the exception.
After 8 or 9 hours alone, a dog who doesn't get that midday break is a dog who's anxious, destructive, and miserable by the time you get home. The walk isn't a luxury. It's the thing that makes the rest of the day work.
You want your dog on a consistent midday routine every weekday, walked by someone they already know, with a photo sent the moment the walk ends so you can stop checking your phone and get back to work.
That's exactly what we built. A consistent care team, on the same schedule, with a visit report after every single walk. A professional who knows your dog, shows up consistently, and makes sure the midday routine actually happens. Every week, not just when it's convenient.
"The difference a consistent midday walk makes is real. Calmer dog at home. Less guilt during the workday. That's what we're here for."
Robert Strickland, Founder
Every midday walk is a full-service visit, not a quick loop and out the door. Here's what your dog gets every single time we show up.
We check and refresh your dog's water bowl on every visit. After a good midday walk, hydration matters, and we never skip this step.
Paws get wiped down before coming back inside. We do a quick wellness check after every walk to make sure your dog is healthy and happy.
We lock up and secure your home every single time we leave. Your house is always left exactly as we found it, secure and tidy.
We're not rushing your dog through a quick lap to check a box. Every walk includes genuine attention and engagement. Your dog should feel better after every visit, not just emptied out.
You'll get timestamped photos and a detailed visit report through the Time to Pet app after every walk. You'll see exactly how your dog did and never have to wonder whether we showed up.
Your dog gets a trained care team that knows them, not a different stranger every week. Background-checked, CPR-certified W-2 employees who treat your walk like the standing appointment it is.
Every walk follows a consistent routine, so your dog always knows what to expect, and you always know what happened.
We enter using your secure key or lockbox, and the visit check-in is logged immediately in Time to Pet. The clock starts, your dog's walk begins.
We use your dog's preferred leash and harness setup, noted during the meet and greet. We follow your preferred route or let your dog lead the way through a familiar neighborhood path.
Your dog gets a real walk, not a rushed loop. We let them sniff, explore, and actually enjoy the outing.
We always offer fresh water when we return. If your dog's bowl needs a refill, we take care of it. Hydration after a midday walk matters.
Paws get wiped down before coming back inside. We always clean up after your dog on the walk, every time. Your home and neighborhood are left exactly as we found them.
Before we leave, we send a detailed visit report through Time to Pet, including timestamped photos of your dog, notes on behavior, and anything worth mentioning. You'll never have to wonder.
Our daily dog walking service was built for working pet owners who need reliable midday support, not occasional coverage. Here's who we serve best.
You're away 9 to 10 hours a day.
Your dog needs a midday break, and so does your peace of mind. We show up on a consistent schedule every weekday, so your dog settles into a routine they can count on.
You're in the office two or three days a week and need coverage on those days.
Your dog is fine on work-from-home days. But on in-office days, they need a midday walk and you need to know it's covered. We set up a recurring schedule around your in-office days so you never have to scramble.
Your dog actually needs that daily outlet.
Border Collies. Labs. Huskies. Aussies. Some dogs need real exercise to be calm and happy at home. A daily walk isn't optional for them. We get that, and we show up for it every day.
Getting out for daily walks has become difficult.
Whether it's a recent injury, a chronic condition, or just the reality of aging, your dog's need for a daily walk doesn't change. We're here to make sure it's still fully met, every day.
There are a few ways to handle your dog's midday care. Here's how they compare so you can decide what works best for your situation.
Every walk length is priced per visit with no hidden fees. Pick the length that fits your dog, not a package that fits the company.
Short midday break for small dogs or senior dogs who need a quick bathroom break and a bit of fresh air.
Our standard walk. The right length for most dogs to get a real midday break, some exercise, and a proper decompression.
Longer walks for higher-energy dogs who need real exercise to settle calmly at home for the rest of the workday.
Full-hour outings for high-drive dogs, working breeds, or anyone who just needs a proper adventure every day.

They are life savers and I don't know how I could own a dog without their help. My dog Garp gets so excited when he sees his walker pull up. The photos and visit reports give me total peace of mind during the workday. Absolutely the most professional, caring team I've ever worked with.

View All Areas →Our standard walks are 30 minutes. During your free meet and greet, we'll talk through your dog's energy level, breed, and needs to confirm the right visit length. Extended walk options may be available, just ask.
For recurring dog walking, we assign a primary walker who gets to know your dog's personality, quirks, and routine. Your dog will see the same familiar face on most visits. In the rare case your regular walker is unavailable, we always communicate the change in advance, and any substitute is a fully trained, background-checked member of our team who meets our exact standards.
Yes, every member of our team passes a thorough background check before they ever enter a client's home. Additionally, all of our staff are W-2 employees, not independent contractors, which means they are trained to our professional standards and held to our code of conduct.
Every walk is logged in Time to Pet from arrival to departure. You'll receive a visit report with timestamped photos of your dog and notes about how the walk went. You'll never have to wonder.
We work with dogs of all temperaments, and the meet and greet is specifically designed to surface any special considerations. Please share everything, medical needs, behavioral triggers, handling instructions, leash preferences, and we'll make sure the right walker is matched to your dog's needs.
No. All walks are on-leash for your dog's safety. We use your preferred leash and harness setup, noted during the meet and greet. If you have a specific preference for route or environment, let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Cancellations and rescheduling are handled easily through the Time to Pet app. Please refer to our cancellation policy for details on notice requirements. We understand life happens, we just ask for as much advance notice as possible so we can manage our team's schedule fairly.
Dog walking visits start at $30. Our standard 30-minute walk is $33, with 20-minute ($30), 45-minute ($39), and 60-minute ($45) options also available. Pricing is per visit with no hidden fees. Check out our pricing page for full details.
We always communicate any change in advance, never after the fact. If your regular walker is unavailable, a fully trained, background-checked member of our team steps in.
