Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 does a dog walker cost in Ireland?
A 30-minute walk typically runs €12-22 and an hour €16-30, with Dublin at the upper end and weekly blocks discounted.
