About
Dancing Dogs
Dancing Dogs llc is a local dog walking service started by Jacob Cross in 2022. After many years experience group walking under the agency of Monumentails llc, a premier Boston dog walking company; Jacob found himself relocated to Providence, RI where he set out to build his own pack and form a guild of dogwalkers to serve the local neighborhoods of the east side.
As chief dog walker and guild leader of Dancing Dogs, Jacob sees that all services performed by members of Dancing Dogs meet the expectational standards of pet parents and their dogs; While seeing that our members are compensated fairly and have a safe environment to conduct their services.
This guild of dog walkers is dedicated to combining our experience, knowledge, and wisdom of the trade to promote and build on the standards and qualities of all aspects involved with pack walking dogs. Every member of the guild is required to have reputable degree of experience handling dogs prior to entry. You can always trust your dogs are in good hands when they walk with us. We hope to see your dog in the pack!

Group Walks
Once you’ve officially signed up, and your dog is ready to find their place in the pack - On the day of your booking, your dog will be will be picked up within 1 hour before or after the selected walk time. Your dog will spend a minimum of your selected time duration participating in one, or multiple group walk sessions. Based on logistics of the other dogs locations, drop off times may vary. Your group walker may change visit to visit. See our list of Services
Depending on your dogs initial manners, your dog may be recommended to go through an assessment period. This is an approximate 1 - 2 week assessment performed by our chief dog walker Jacob. During this time Jacob will build a relationship with, and note the dogs behavioral profile; as well as, keeping the pet parent up to date on our observations. Once our assessment is complete, if passed, your dog will be ready for pack walks; if failed, see below for information on potential options.
Walk & Train
If we find a dog unfit for group walking, we not only offer traditional training options, but also, a discounted training package with our hybrid Walk & Train service. This training service focuses on social manners, engagement, loose lead walking, environmental exposure, and teaching basic command/ behavioral marker vocabulary, all while getting your dog out for their daily walks. You can have the satisfaction of daily walks, along side a training regiment. This is a specialty service run by Chief walker Jacob with limited availability. Included in the package: an open line of communication with the trainer, and monthly pet parent - trainer meet ups. At these meet ups, Jacob will be available to demonstrate and discuss the lessons we teach during our training walks and how to translate them into your daily life with your dog. Additionally, there will be free group lectures to exclusively walk & train participants explaining how to build strong relationships and communication and much more with our beloved companions. Can’t make the group meeting? For an additional charge you can book a private session in your home with Jacob on your time.
Once your dog completes training, they will be guaranteed a spot in our pack walks!
