History

Established in 2013.

Founded February 2013, ChiPaws began as a labor of love. It quickly evolved into much more than just a dog walking service. It’s our dedication and passion for dogs that drives us to do what we do, and to be the best at it. We believe that dog handling is an art, and a deep understanding of the world from the dog’s point of view is essential to interacting with a dog in way that actually enhances and enriches his life. It is important that your dog walker be capable of communicating successfully with the dog by identifying his needs, reading his body language, and keeping him safe, happy and healthy. That is why ChiPaws walkers are trained in dog handling and dog psychology. What does this mean for you? It means you can have peace of mind while you are away. It means you can feel secure in knowing that your dog is being treated with the utmost respect, patience, and knowledge. And most importantly, it means that you have a partnership when it comes to your dog’s well-​being.

Meet the Business Owner

Christine F.

Business Owner

Since I was a child, I have felt a distinct and powerful connection with dogs. I admired them for their intelligence, playfulness and ability to love their owners unconditionally. It really is true that dogs are man’s best friend. They give so much to us, and ask for so little. So it became my goal in life to spend my days giving back to these selfless and inspiring animals. Dog walking has certainly proven to be an excellent way to do that, but it’s not enough for me to look at it as just taking a dog out to pee. With every interaction, we have the opportunity to help enrich our clients’ dog’s life, by understanding the dog’s needs and fulfilling them. And that is the vision behind ChiPaws, it is a holistic approach to dog walking and pet care, where your walker becomes a partner in your dog’s well-​being. We have helped many clients alleviate behavior and psychological issues, and thereby helped to strengthen and deepen the bond they have with their dogs.
