Pooch Pacers

No one would blame you for walking your own dog, but if you're paying someone to do it for you, that motherf_cker better run. Here to give Rover his workout, Pooch Pacers.Thrillist - Pooch PacersStarted by a former Cartoon Network desk jockey/4-time-marathoner, Pacer'll get your canine properly exercised, while allowing you to continue feeling guilty every time you flip past Workout. Hire the service, and they'll grab your dog (grant them access, and they'll pick him up while you're out), then blitz him through a 35-40 minute one-on-one workout, including 5-minute water break and 5-minute cooldown, to slow his heartbeat steadily (unless he happens across a really alluring leg). Since each mutt's unique, the runs are tailored: fat dogs are eased into the program, manic animals (boxers, labs) are encouraged to unleash extra energy running circles in the street, while weiner dogs trot in spurts like a fat kid in PE. Most of Pacers' availability is in the mid-city area, though they've just expanded to Santa Monica and Brentwood -- because while no one would blame them for expanding their business, when they're in OJ's neighborhood, motherf_ckers better run.
