Dog walking in Portobello
A dog in Portobello that misses its midday walk gets restless, and a tired owner stuck at work cannot always get home in time. Petme connects you with local Edinburgh walkers who fit a real walk into your dog's day, share photos when they are done, and learn your dog's pace and habits over time.
Every walker is ID-verified and reviewed by other Edinburgh owners, and the Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible incidents during the walk. Set a meet and greet through the app first so you and your dog meet the walker before anything is booked.

FAQ
Dog walking in Portobello: common questions
How much does a dog walker cost in Edinburgh?
A single walk in Edinburgh usually runs £14 to £22, with regular weekday slots often discounted. Rates depend on walk length, the walker's experience and whether it is a solo or group walk. You see each Portobello walker's price before you book on Petme.
Can I book the same walker for Portobello every day?
Yes. Most owners in Portobello book one walker for a recurring weekday slot so the dog sees the same familiar person. You arrange the schedule directly with that walker in the app and can keep it running week to week.
Will I get updates after each walk in Portobello?
Yes. Portobello walkers send a photo and a short note after every walk so you know your dog was picked up, exercised and dropped home safely. The Protection Plan also offers up to £20,000 for eligible vet costs.
