• What areas do you serve?

  I’m based in Erie, Colorado and primarily serve Erie and surrounding areas. Regular runs usually take place on Erie’s trail system (Pavement + Gravel). Trail runs might be in Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, or Boulder trails. Specific locations are always discussed and approved in advance.

• What is your typical running pace?

  My running pace ranges between 9 and 12 minutes per mile, depending on your dog and terrain.

• How do you determine pace and distance?

  Pace and distance are adjusted based on your dog’s age, breed, fitness level, and energy on the day of the run. Safety and comfort always come first.

• Do you run multiple dogs at the same time?

  All runs and walks are one-on-one, giving your dog my full attention from start to finish. The only exception is one additional dog from the same household with a similar running ability, which can be added for an additional $15.

• How many appointments do you take per day?

  To maintain quality and safety, I limit my schedule to 1–2 appointments per day.

• Can runs start from my house?

  Yes. I can start runs directly from your home or drive your dog to nearby trails, depending on your preference. You are also welcome to drop off your dog at our house.

• Do you offer packages or recurring services?

  Yes. I offer weekly services and prepaid run packages with built-in savings.

• Will my dog get water and breaks?

  Absolutely. Water breaks are provided as needed, and I adjust pace or distance if your dog shows signs of fatigue.

• Will I receive updates after the run?

  Yes. After every run or walk, you’ll receive a post-run update, along with plenty of photos of your dog.

• Are you licensed and insured?

  Yes, Run Peter Run, LLC is locally licensed and insured in Erie, CO for your peace of mind.

• What payment method do you accept?

  We currently accept payment via cash or Venmo @runpeterrun.

  

• What dogs are a good fit for running?

  Running is best suited for healthy dogs with sufficient endurance and vet approval. I’m happy to discuss whether running is a good fit for your dog.

• What if my dog isn’t a good fit for running?

  Not every dog is a good candidate for running, and that’s okay. If at any point I feel a run isn’t safe or appropriate based on your dog’s age, health, behavior, or comfort level, I’ll discuss alternatives with you.

• What if my dog needs to stop early?

  That’s completely fine. Runs are always adjusted in real time based on how your dog is feeling.

• Are vaccinations required?

  Yes. For the safety of all dogs, proof of current vaccinations is required before the first run or walk. At a minimum, dogs must be up to date on rabies and other core vaccines as recommended by your veterinarian.

• Are there breed restrictions or safety considerations?

  For safety reasons, I may be unable to work with dogs that exhibit aggressive behavior or pose a safety risk. Each dog is evaluated individually based on behavior, training, history, and overall temperament — not breed alone. If I determine a dog is not a safe fit for running services, I’ll discuss alternative options with you.

• What are your cancellation and refund policies?

  Because appointments are scheduled in advance and time is reserved specifically for your dog, cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are non-refundable. I’m always happy to work with you when life happens — just reach out as soon as you can.
