When you need to hire a dog walker, there are many things to consider. Some dogs require more attention than others, so it’s important to make sure you get the right person for the job. Here are some things to look for:
- Dog Walking Experience – Is the dog walking service professional? Do they know how to handle dogs safely? Are they trained to walk multiple breeds?
- Location – Does the location work best for you? Will you be able to easily access the dog walker?
- Cost – How much does the dog walking service cost per visit?
- Training – What training has the dog walker received? Has he/she been certified through any organizations such as The Dog Training Academy?
- Insurance – Does the dog walking service offer insurance coverage? If so, what kind of coverage is offered?
- References – Ask about references from previous clients. Check online to see if anyone has posted negative comments about the company.
- Reviews – Read customer reviews on websites like Yelp and Google. Also ask friends and family members for recommendations.
- Experience – Look into the history of the dog walking service. Have they worked with other pets before? Have they ever owned a dog?
- Availability – Make sure the dog walking service offers 24 hour availability.
