Choosing a Dog WalkerYou wouldn't let just anybody look after your children and I believe it is just as important who you choose to care for your dog. So what should you be looking for in a dog walker? Firstly they should be insured to do the work. Should something happen while your dog is in the care and control of someone else, it pays to be covered. Sometimes dogs run off, get lost, have accidents or cause injury. The insurance also covers loss of keys. Make sure you see the papers! Make sure your walker is police checked. In the UK that's called a CRB and a certificate is issued as proof. Dog walkers need access to your property, so they have to be as trustworthy as possible. A person experienced with dogs, preferably a dog owner themselves. Walkers need to be confident around dogs they don't yet know. While your dog may be the softest thing on the planet with you , it can be different with a visitor who starts to take control!
Make sure you have a meeting prior to signing up. A good dog walker will be friendly, approachable and a good communicator.
Many owners like feedback on how the walks have gone and reassurance that Fido has been okay. It is very important that you feel happy, comfortable and can ask questions. Before long you will start to relax and know that your dog is being well cared for. Your waggy friend will soon let you know if he's not!
