I love to walk and love dogs so I want to start up a dog walking business. How much would you pay, per hour, to have your dog walked.

I would check in the classified section of local newspapers, find the ads, call them and find out what the going rate is that way you do no overcharge or undercharge. Once you get this information, review their ads again, and place one of your own that is slightly different and try to use a catchy name for your business. Also be sure to state your availability and maybe even prices. This way they will call you first since all the important info is already there.

If i were you I would have two or three prices, depending on the size of the dog. If it is a large dog you may want to charge a little more than if it were a small one. I guess it would also depend on the dogs temperment. I used to have a lab and probably would've payed $12/hr for just a walk, and maybe $15-$17/hr if you played other games with it to work its mind too not just the body!

well id say $7 for a good 20 minute walk. Maybe $10 if you play ball with him too. Once a day.

I would not pay more than 5 bucks an hour-for a large dog. I am not saying you don't deserve it, but I'd do it myself if I had to pay more than that.
