FAQ
People who walk their dogs could get scratched or bitten. A dog in your care could also get hurt by accident. If you don't like dogs, this isn't the "pawfect" job for you. Someone who doesn't like dogs may get bored if they have to walk dogs all day.
While dog walkers are not legally obliged to have a contract in place between themselves and their clients, it is always good practice to do so. A contract should clearly set out what is expected of each party. This sets the relationship up on a positive footing and removes any ambiguity.
What To Include in a Dog Walking Contract Start with your service agreement. List all your services, add-ons, and rates. Cancellation policies. Insurance and liabilities. Emergency procedures and other terms and conditions. Exceptions and negative policies. Dog Walking Forms – Pet Details. Social media use.
Dog walking is a great side hustle because the clients are adorable, you get exercise, you're helping out a caring pet owner (having a dog of my own, I know what it's like to want the best for your pup), the hours are short and you can make around $16-$24/hour depending on your rates.
The main portion of your dog walking contract will describe the services that you will provide for each dog walking client. Whether this be a run, hike, a 30-minute walk or playing at the dog park – these details should be outlined to clearly define what the customer can expect from your dog walking business.
The minimum cover your dog walker will need is third-party liability insurance. This is to cover your dog walker in the event that one of the dogs in their care causes injury to someone. The insurance policy will also state how many dogs your walker is covered to exercise at any one time.
Walking at a brisk walking pace for 30 minutes typically results in a distance walked of 1.5-2 miles or 3,000-4,500 steps. While you can walk more on some days and less on others, the total walking time per week should be at least 150 minutes⁶.
If you walk briskly for 30 minutes, you should be covering 1.5-2 miles. Walking comes under the moderate-intensity exercise category, so you should aim to walk anywhere between 30-90 minutes.
