What is Professional Dog Walking?
Professional dog walking is a service where experienced pet care providers take your dog for a walk when you cannot. Whether you work long hours, have physical limitations, or just want your dog to have extra exercise and socialization, a professional walker ensures your pet stays healthy and happy. Unlike hobbyists, professional walkers on Petme are verified, background-checked, and covered by the Petme protection guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your furry friend is in safe hands.
Why Hire a Dog Walker?
Regular walks are essential for your dog's physical and mental health. A professional walker provides consistent exercise which helps prevent obesity and related health issues. Mental stimulation from exploring new scents and environments reduces boredom and destructive behaviors at home. Additionally, socialization with a walker improves your dog's confidence and behavior with other people. For you, it means coming home to a relaxed, happy dog and guilt-free long days.
Understanding Dog Walking Rates
Dog walking rates can vary based on location, duration of the walk (usually 30 or 60 minutes), and the number of dogs. On Petme, you set the budget that works for you by choosing from a variety of walkers with different rates. Factors that might influence the price include the walker's experience level, special needs care, and holiday surcharges. Our transparent pricing means you always know exactly what you're paying before you book, with no hidden fees.
How to Find the Perfect Dog Walker
Finding the right match for your dog is easy with Petme. Start by searching for walkers in your neighborhood and filtering by your specific needs, such as experience with large dogs or puppy care. Read detailed profiles and verified reviews from other pet owners to gauge their reliability and style. We strongly recommend scheduling a free "Meet & Greet" before your first booking. This allows you to see how the walker interacts with your dog and discuss instructions, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for everyone.
