Dog walkers, please answer this question, or anybody who has been one or knows someone who has been one!?

Question

I dont know what to charge for a 20 minute walk, 5 days a week for 1 dog. How much should I charge each week?

Answer 1

I own my own animal sitting business and I usually base it first on the distance it takes for me to drive to the place. I get all my clients through my work so i usually base the distance from there but if its someone else I base it from the distance of my home. I go sometimes to houses just to give cats medication and I chanrge her just 10 a day, but then theres other jobs I do where I charge 60 a day. So it all depebds, I feel like 10 a day is a reaonable price to pay, so 50 a week. Its not too hard to walk a dog, but like I said if its really far for you to drive then i would factor in gas money

Answer 2

well I charged $13 per day for 1 dog for a 20 minute walk but it depended on how easy the dog is to walk and the dogs size

Answer 3

I have paid the neighborhood boy to walk my dog.
It was his first job, I taught him how to walk the dog first.
He had to pick up any business that was dropped. Ugh!
But he got $6 per 20 minute walk. And most of the time he didn't really walk that long.
I let him just come over anytime and take my dog at his convenience. So when he needed $30 bucks for a new video game my two dogs got walked a lot. When he didn't need the money we didn't see him for a while.
This worked out really well for he, my dogs and I.
Good luck.

Answer 4

well i charge 5.00 an hour per dog. for a 20 minute walk 5 days a week i would charge 25 or 30$ a week NOT an hour it would make it simpler for the dog owner and u

good luck!

Answer 5

When I was on vacation, I hired a dog walker for a week (6 days), but my neighbor fed the dog. The total charge to me was $50.00. It would have cost me more if they walked AND fed him.

Answer 6

I'm thinking about that myself, but I'm just so busy. I would charge $15. an hour. If you charge 15. a day, thats 75. for five days, for one dog. Hope you get more dogs.

Answer 7

Answer 8

When I did it I didn't put my prices on my fliers, I would just bargan with each individual person depending on the dog, and their financal abilities.
