How to choose a dog walker
A walker gets your keys and a dog that is out on the street with them, not with you. Five things to settle before the first walk.
- Meet at home, with you there. Watch how the person handles the leash and how your dog reacts. If the dog won't let them near, take your time.
- Neighbourhood and schedule. A walker who lives nearby is late less often. Agree on the time and what happens if they are running late.
- One dog or a group. A young, large or reactive dog is better walked alone — ask about it directly.
- Keys and emergencies. How keys are handed over, who to call if you can't be reached, and which vet clinic to go to.
- A report after each walk. How long, where, whether the dog went to the toilet, anything unusual. Asking for a photo or a short message is normal.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a walk be?
It depends on the dog's age, breed and health. Puppies and older dogs need short, frequent walks; active breeds need long ones. If your dog has joint or heart problems, ask your vet.
Can the dog be let off the leash?
Not in public places: dogs must be on a leash there. Off-leash only in designated areas. Discuss this with the walker in advance — the owner is responsible for violations.
What should I show the walker?
The vet passport with vaccinations and parasite treatments: outside, your dog meets other dogs. A conscientious walker will ask for it.
How do you check walkers?
We talk to each of them personally and arrange a meeting before work starts. There is no insurance or automated screening yet, and we won't promise it until there is.
