What to Ask Before Hiring a Dog Walker?

As a responsible pet owner, you are certainly aware of the fact that walking a dog regularly is a must and you are probably happy to take your dog outside. But even if you usually do it personally, there comes a time in everyone’s life when a professional dog walker is a necessity. Maybe you out of town on vacation or business, or you are ill or busy for a midday walk. Sometimes your friends and family can do this instead of you, but if you are away for more than couple of days, it is better to hire a professional. First of all, does your friend wants to be responsible if something happens to your furry baby? Are you sure your dog would be treated appropriately? Before choosing the right dog walkers, you should ask them a few questions. Keep in mind there are no silly questions and that a good professional is an informed professional and dog walking is not an exception. Here are some of the questions to start your interview.

  1. Is my pet going to be walked with other dogs or alone?
  2. What happens in case of an accident? Do you have any liability insurance?
  3. Are you experienced and trained in dog walking?
  4. Will the same person walk my dog all the time?
  5. What happens if the chosen dog walker cannot come?
  6. Where are you going to key the keys to my flat/house?
  7. Do you have your own veterinarian or you will take my dog to his vet?
  8. Will you play, feed and provide water for my dog?
  9. How often will you walk my dog?
  10. How much does your service cost?
