What to check before hiring a pet walking

Leave fresh water available at the entrance for when the dog returns from walks on hot days.
Set clear rules: the dog must be kept on a leash, not fed unauthorized food, and never left unsupervised.
Review the provider after each period of collaboration — you help other pet owners make good decisions.
Arrange a meet-and-greet session between your dog and the walker before the first walk — this reduces the animal's stress.
Prepare a walking kit: spare leash, waste bags, treats, vet's phone number.
Inform the provider about your dog's habits: preferred walking spots, whether it pulls on the leash, whether it's scared of cars or other dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request photo or video updates during the walk?

Yes, many dog walkers send photos or messages during walks on request. This is a common and appreciated practice among pet owners.

What happens in a veterinary emergency?

Establish an emergency protocol upfront: your vet's number, authorization for the provider to seek emergency veterinary care, and who covers the costs. It's best to set these out in writing.

Can the provider walk multiple dogs at the same time?

Some walkers accept groups of dogs, others prefer individual walks. If you have multiple dogs, discuss whether the provider can handle the whole group or prefers separate walks.

How often does a dog need to be walked?

Adult dogs need at least 2 walks per day, 20–30 minutes each. Energetic breeds (Border Collie, Husky, Labrador) require more exercise — 60–90 minutes daily.

What hygiene practices does the provider follow?

A responsible provider will wash leashes and equipment frequently, wash their hands after each walk, and collect the animal's waste in special bags.

Can I leave my dog with the provider while on holiday?

Yes, pet sitting services are very popular during holiday periods. Book at least 2–3 weeks in advance during peak season (July–August, Christmas).
