How to hire a dog walking pro in Canada
- Verify insurance and bonding

Dog walking is unlicensed in Canada, though some cities (e.g., Vancouver parks) require permits for commercial dog walkers in parks and cap group sizes; winter weather policies are a practical differentiator.

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.
How much is dog walking in Fairview?
In Fairview, a standard 30-60 minute walk sits around the national typical rate, with solo walks and puppy visits priced above group walks. Regular weekday clients get the best rates.
Group walk or solo walk — which is better for my dog?
Sociable, recall-trained dogs thrive on group walks and they cost less. Reactive dogs, puppies, and seniors do better solo. A good walker will assess your dog before adding them to a group.
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.
Do dog walkers need a licence?
In most countries, no licence exists for dog walking — anyone can start. Insurance, pet first-aid training and references are the real trust signals. Some cities cap the number of dogs walked at once in public parks.
Do walkers go out in Canadian winters?
Yes, with adjustments — walks shorten below about -20°C with wind chill, paw balm or boots protect against salt, and good walkers substitute indoor enrichment on dangerously cold days.
