UK Average Local Dog Walking Quotes
Dog Walking Quotes can vary from one area to another just the same as all services and indeed even supermarket prices can have big differences from one town to another, it’s not always a North South divide it can be a big difference between country area and towns and cities. Indeed a lot can depend on the unemployment rate in your area, say for instance your living in an area of pretty much full employment then it is quite likely that the dog walking quotes you would receive could be higher than the national average which is £6 to £10 per hour per dog depending on the number of dogs being walked for you. |

Pet-loving, Highly Skilled Vets Should Always Be Used
We know you love dogs so do check the local dog walkers, or dog sitters in charge of your pet love dogs.
They should be dedicated to the animals you entrust in to their care. It can be reassuring if they are dog owners themselves and know how important those little things can be to a dog's day, whether it be putting the radio or television on, or just making sure they are comfortable and giving them a little fussing.
A personal touch can be very important
While not essential we have found that a family business or a small franchise can offer that bit of special care, however a lot of large businesses are good as well if they have the right staff and support in place.
Is your dog going to be in safe hands
We recommend using companies that only walk a maximum of four dogs per dog walker at any time, this is to ensure the best possible care and attention to each of the dogs. In addition it’s useful if all dog sitters and walkers are trained in basic pet first aid.
Feedback
After each walk you should receive a text telling you about your dog’s walk, including location of walking, arrival home time and any other information you should be aware of.
Do They Offer Free Registration
Free registration where they come to you to meet you and your dog and discus the local dog walkers prices and requirements should be standard. Once the registration is complete you should have access to the full range of services offered to our clients. These dog walking quotes and quotes for other services would normally include Dog Day Care and Dog Home Boarding if requested.
