What are dog walkers?

Simply put they are professionals responsible for giving your dog the exercise and the mental stimulation he or she needs. Typically the walk is from your home or business back to your home or business.

Do the professionals have other responsibilities besides walking the dog?

Depending on the kind of walker you hire, they can also do things like check your pet’s water, feed your pet, play with your pet such as throwing a ball, etc. If a client needs to be out-of-town for an extended period, some can also do animal-sitting while the client is away. Furthermore, if an animal becomes injured or sick while in the walkers care, it is the walker’s responsibility to inform the client.

How does a person become a Dublin dog walker?

The dog walking business is one that is typically a self-employed model. Therefore, an individual will start his or her business either on a full-time basis or a part-time basis. No formal education or certification is needed to do the job. However, it is rare to find someone who wants to do this job who is not familiar with canines and their behaviour and needs.

What do you look for when hiring a Dublin dog walker?

One of the most important things to look for is an interest in canines, and most importantly, and interest in your particular pet. Therefore, before hiring the individual, you’ll want them to meet your dog and determine how the two bond. Although having worked in a veterinary setting is not required to be a good professional dog walker, it is a plus if you can find someone with this kind of background.

How much are these services paid?

The amount of money you must pay one of these walkers varies. Typically you will pay anywhere from 10 euro to 25 euro an hour. One factor to take into consideration is the number of pets an expert will walk. If more than one pet is being walked at a time, the amount you pay will probably be lower. Another is if you use the services frequently. If so, you may be able to get a discount on the services.
