How much should dog walking cost?

What drives price, and why the cheapest option is rarely the best value.

Prices vary by area, group size and duration. Rather than hunting for the lowest number, work out what is included.

What changes the price

  • Solo versus group walks
  • Length of walk
  • Travel distance
  • Whether they hold keys and do a home check
  • Insurance, vehicle costs and first aid training

Value signals

A walker charging a little more may be walking three dogs instead of eight, using a properly fitted-out van, and sending you a photo every day. That is a different service.

Fair questions

Ask what happens if you cancel, whether there are bank holiday rates, and how payment works. Getting that clear at the start avoids awkward conversations later.
