Frequently asked questions
What happens if my dog is injured on a walk?
A professional walker carries pet-care liability insurance covering vet fees for injuries in their care, has your vet's details on file, and contacts you immediately. Confirm all three before the first walk.
Do walkers come rain or shine?
Yes — professionals walk in almost all weather, shortening walks in extreme heat, storms or ice and substituting indoor play or enrichment visits when conditions are dangerous. Heat policies matter in hot climates.
