Does anyone know what the going rate for dog-walking services are? I am trying to help a friend who is 8 mos pregnant & on bedrest find a reasonable service. So far, she has been quoted $20 and $25 per HALF-HOUR.

Is this really the going rate?

Any recommendations for a reliable, responsible dog-walker?

Thanks!
Sampa

Ouch, Sass!

I may have to move back to El Cerrito (man - do we miss our neighbors!) - I don't want to get a bad rap for being up here now. ;-)

LOL - that's ridiculous - that's more than most people I know in so-called professional positions make.

Gotta Love'Em! Professional Pet Care: Rates: Pet Sitting | Dog Walking | San Diego |

San Diego is expensive... people spend thousands on those dogs and wouldn't just hand em' over to anyone. Find a teenager! There is a freckled-red haired little girl in my 'hood who collects bottles, mows lawns, does all sorts of stuff. I asked her how much she had made and she said 4 grand!

Smile Dog Walking Rates

Hi there! Just wanted to correct the dog walking rate! We're not quite as high as $30/hr.

Our dog walking rates are
$15/30 min walk
$20/45 min walk
$25/60 min walk
$5 discount/week if 5x/week

Most dogs are exercised sufficiently at 30 min walks, so average is closer to $15.. Good luck in your dog walking search! We'd be happy to take your fella out!!

Gotta Love'Em! Pack
