There is more than one way to find a dog walker. Do most people walk their dogs on a first name basis, and is there someone you would want to share a walk with?

This choice will come in handy if you are planning to hike or bike with the pup.

Do you share a house with someone else and want to get a dog walker who shares your house? Is there something else you want that will make you and your pet comfortable? If this person was previously living with you or your dog, ask them “How big is the dog? Do you want to walk the whole dog?” Or if they have a big dog, ask them what a “big” dog typically weighs. It is worth looking at the weight of the dog’s previous owners’ dogs. It is just good to find out what they
