Tuckered Out Dog Walking announced today the expansion of its booking availability to better serve working professionals throughout Richmond, Virginia. The dog walking service now accepts booking inquiries from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, providing greater accessibility for pet parents with demanding work schedules.
The Richmond-based company operates as a team of trained dog walkers serving neighborhoods throughout the city and west-end Henrico County. The extended availability hours allow clients to schedule walks during evening hours when they are home from work and have time to plan their pet care needs. Previously, the company accepted inquiries only until 4:00 p.m., which limited accessibility for professionals who could not make calls during the workday.
Tuckered Out Dog Walking distinguishes itself from competitors through its same-day booking capability. While most dog walking services in the Richmond area require two to three days advance notice, the company can typically accommodate walk requests within two hours of contact. This flexibility has proven particularly valuable for clients with unpredictable schedules, including medical professionals, shift workers, and those facing unexpected work demands.
"Working professionals often realize they need help with their dog when they're sitting at home in the evening, thinking about the next day's schedule," said Austin Tuck, founder of Tuckered Out Dog Walking. "By extending our availability to 7 p.m., we can respond to those inquiries when they happen, rather than making people wait until the next morning."
The service operates with a team-based model rather than relying on a single walker. All team members complete background checks and undergo training in positive reinforcement techniques before working with clients. This structure allows the company to maintain consistent service even when individual team members are unavailable, addressing a common concern among pet parents who rely on solo operators.
The team-based approach also enables the company to honor its same-day booking commitment. With multiple trained walkers available across the service area, the company can dispatch a team member on short notice without sacrificing quality or safety standards. Each walker completes a structured training program covering dog body language, safety protocols, and the company's force-free handling methods.
Walk options include 20, 40, and 60-minute sessions, with specialty packages available for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs requiring additional enrichment. The company also offers field trips to local parks and trails, providing extended outings for dogs whose parents work from home and want their pets to receive more substantial exercise and stimulation during the workday.
Tuckered Out Dog Walking serves zip codes 23220, 23221, 23222, 23226, 23227, 23228, 23229, and 23230, covering neighborhoods including The Fan, Carytown, Museum District, and the West End. The company maintains a focus on this defined service area to ensure reliable response times for same-day requests.
"The ability to book same-day walks has become our defining feature," Tuck added. "Life happens. Dogs cannot always wait until tomorrow. We built our team and our systems specifically to handle that reality."
The company has maintained a 5.0-star rating across nearly 60 Google reviews since its establishment. All services operate under a force-free, positive reinforcement philosophy, and the team includes Fear Free certified members who specialize in reducing stress for anxious or reactive dogs.
Tuckered Out Dog Walking has served the Richmond area for over four years, building a reputation for reliability and flexibility in an industry where last-minute cancellations and scheduling difficulties are common frustrations for pet parents. Clients interested in booking walks or learning more about services can visit the company website or contact the team during the newly extended availability hours.
