I pay my neighborhood kids $5 per dog. They take them for about 20-30 minutes. Start low until you get your business going then slowly raise your rates with new customers.

We use a very good independent dog walker who charges $15 for 30 mins., $18 for 45 mins., and $20 for an hour walk. That's not a bad rate, though some think it a little steep since you can get a full day of dog daycare in the $15-25 range.
