FAQ
How much is a 30-minute dog walk?
Most walkers charge $15-$25 (or 10-20 €) for a 30-minute solo walk. Group walks are usually cheaper, and weekly packages can cut the per-walk price by 20-30%.
Do dog walkers charge more for two dogs?
Yes — expect a surcharge of roughly 50% for a second dog from the same household, rather than double the price.
How do I know my dog was actually walked?
Choose a walker who shares live GPS tracking. On HoPetSit, the PawFollow feature lets you watch the whole walk on the map in real time.
How should I pay a dog walker?
Avoid untraceable cash arrangements. In HoPetSit, payment is held securely in the app and only released to the walker after the service is confirmed.
