That depends on where you live and how much experience you have - ask other walkers what they charge.
There are other, more important things you need to think about. Check with your local government as to what you need to run a business legally. There are non-profit organizations that will help small business owners for a nominal fee. The main things you should know are...
1. How to catch a dog if it gets loose. Leashes can break and collars can pop off!
2. How to treat a dog for injuries or illness in an emergency. Where is the nearest vet or emergency clinic and how will you get there?
2A. Know the breeds that you are walking - pugs and bulldogs can have severe respiratory problems on a hot day.
3. Can you get bonded or insurance to protect yourself if one of your client's dogs is lost, injured or killed while in your care? What if a dog you are walking bites someone?
4. Be careful about taking keys to your clients' property to walk the dog when they're not home - if something goes missing, you'll probably get the blame. Being sued is an expensive nightmare - even if you win. Make sure that if you charge and collect sales tax you turn it in to the government - it's a major felony if you don't and they take it a lot more seriously than failing to report some of your income. You may not make as much working for someone else, but your boss will have most of the headaches!

commence out with a inexpensive so people will purchase your facilities possibly 10-12 funds and as your popularity is going up (as undesirable or good) decrease or develop it 2 funds. it is not said to price better than 15 funds. or you could cost 10 funds in accordance to hour or 0.5-hour. yet another theory to think about is to do from the gap you walk them. If someone needs you to stroll his dogs for a million mile then cost extra then 10 funds yet a lot less then 15. also cost an better a million-5 funds in accordance to dogs desire this helped!

it depends on how long you would walk him.and if ou walk him alone or with other dogs.

Yes i agree about five dollars. Maybe a bit more for larger breeds and if they are difficult to walk.

Look around your community and compare prices. Then you should charge just under the cheapest price and advertise alot.
