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 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.
How do I find a reliable dog walker near me in South Dublin?
In South Dublin, ask at local parks and vets, check apps and local groups, then trial with a meet-and-greet plus a single paid walk before committing to a weekly schedule.
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 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.
