Frequently asked questions
How much does a dog walker cost?
Walkers price per walk: a 30-minute solo walk costs less than an hour, and group walks are cheaper per dog than private ones. Weekly packages (5 walks) usually discount 10-20% off single-walk rates.
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.
Should I give my dog walker a key?
Most regulars do. Use a key safe or smart lock if you prefer, confirm the walker's key policy (coded tags, never address-labelled), and check their insurance covers key loss.
What questions should I ask a dog walker before hiring?
Ask about insurance, how many dogs they walk at once, what happens in an emergency, whether they're first-aid trained, how they secure dogs in vehicles, and ask for two current-client references.
