I think I'm at a stage with pets in this game where I would buy a pack if all it came with was a service for someone to walk my sim's dogs. I get sooo irritated by my sim's dogs CONSTANTLY asking for walks. There are only so many sim hours in a day and even the "short walk" option takes incredibly long. Not to mention, some dogs ask for multiple walks a day. I want my sim's dogs to be happy, but this walking stuff is getting out of hand. I wish there was a service that you could hire like the maid, where someone would come over everyday and just walk your sim's dog/s. NPC teen career perhaps? That would be cool as well... However, the important thing here is the ridiculous amount of walks my sim's dog wants. Dogwalker needed 100%. Rant over lol

Coming up... "Sims 4: My First Dog Walker" stuff pack for $10!-Hire new dog walkers to take your dog for a walk! That's it... -Also comes with a new variant of one of the female hairstyles we've given you several times already!-Also, dozens of young adult female clothing!-Must have "Sims 4: Cats & Dogs" installed to enjoy the entire pack.

This seems to disregard that kind of generosity that we need from the devs.

I appreciate their work and all, but a little humor isn't going to hurt them.

I see no reason to bring up MFPS to joke about how greedy they are when, more relevantly, they added NPCs like nannies and gardeners for free and could do the same with dog walkers.

They did something dumb and someone made a joke about it. And frankly, I think the joke is relevant. Even if they do add some free stuff now and then, doesn't mean they haven't stopped selling important content piece by piece. Granted, nothing else they've done has come close to MFPS.

You mean things that have been in the base game for every single sims game ever?

Something we expected but werent given at launch due to then rushing? Thats like being thankful they patched in toddlers, they SHOULD have.

Also to op, little ms sam had a hireable dog walking mod.

where are you getting "be thankful" from? i dont care what you're thankful for.

im just saying I dont understand why we would jump to the conclusion that they will charge us for dog walkers when they added other npcs to the game for free.

Lol, isn't it funny how the simplest of threads can turn into an argument...

Luckily, the dogs I have only require walking every few days. Maybe it's to do with traits? But I tend to go jogging with them instead of walking, and just return home when my sim has had enough. It seems to satisfy the dogs needs, getting made to run along behind :D

Sometimes if my Sims don't have time to walk their dogs I'd just leash and then unleash. It seems to count as going for a walk. :D

OP, I know it's not what you want, but Bienchen has a small tuning mod that makes dog walks shorter:

Scroll down three-quarters of the way and it's called 'shorterdogwalks'.

Ooh! Just also found this one on LittleMSSam's site:

https://littlemssam.tumblr.com/post/175411487173/dog-walker-dog-jogger-hire-a-dog-walkerjogger

Sounds like what you might be after?

I've not used either though, so can't speak to how well they work.

Love the idea of dog walkers, would be a great job for teens! Also another great job would be dog sitter, so when your sim is at work for a while or even on vacation they don't have to worry because theres a dog sitter there!

I have not had this problem in my game but maybe it is because I have multiple sims who takes care of the animals, so there are always someone who could help walking the dog, I have a guy who is active so he often just goes jogging with the dog for a day. But even then, the dogs does not ask for multiple walks in a day.
