What to Look for in a Dog Walker
- Solo vs. group walk options — reactive dogs need solo walks
- GPS walk reports — confirms your dog was actually walked the full distance
- Experience with your dog's breed and energy level
- Wet weather policy — do they still walk in rain and cold?
- Backup plan if they're sick — do they have a reliable sub?
- Reviews from owners with similar-energy dogs
Solo vs. Group Dog Walks: Which Is Better?
- Solo: full attention, better for reactive or high-drive dogs, typically costs more
- Group (2–4 dogs): more socialization, often lower cost, appropriate for social easy-going dogs
- Pack walks (5+): lower cost, more stimulation, not suitable for reactive dogs
- Ask your walker what the maximum group size is before booking
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my dog be walked?
Most adult dogs need 2–3 walks per day. Working breeds and high-energy dogs may need 60+ minutes of walking daily. A midday dog walker helps dogs home alone for long workdays.
What's included in a dog walk?
Typically a leash walk of 30–60 minutes, potty break, water access, and a photo or GPS report. Some walkers include basic training reinforcement.
Do walkers use GPS tracking?
Many professional walkers use apps like Time to Pet or Rover (if platform-based) that generate GPS walk maps. Ask your walker directly.
Can my walker give medications?
Some walkers will administer medications for an additional fee. Always discuss medical needs upfront and provide written instructions.
