Dog Walking in Jurong East

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.

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.

In Jurong East, 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.

In Jurong East, 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.

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.

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.

Mostly before 9am and after 5pm — pavement heat and humidity make midday walks unsafe. Expect S$20-40 for a 30-minute walk, with condo pickup coordination the norm.
