Hiring a dog walker is a big decision — after all, you’re trusting them with your furriest family member!

Here’s how to pick the perfect one, with a little input from your dog

1. Vibe Check Matters
Dogs can sense energy. Watch how your dog reacts on the first meet-and-greet — wagging tails and relaxed posture are great signs.

2. Consistency Is Key
Does the walker show up on time? Are they sticking to your pup’s routine? Dogs thrive on predictability.

3. Communication
You should get clear updates: how the walk went, if they peed/pooped, and anything unusual.

4. Experience with Your Dog’s Needs
Senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs — all need different handling styles. Ask about the walker’s background and comfort levels.

5. Bonus Points for Love
Does your walker talk to your dog, bring treats, and act like they genuinely care? That’s the one 🐶❤️

Your dog might not talk, but they’ll let you know loud and clear when they’ve found their favorite walker.
