How much per walk do you pay?

OP here - is $15 per walk reasonable? (for the city of DC, not the suburbs)

If he/she is a professional, they probably already have an established rate. A local dog walker my friends/neighbors use charges $17/20 minute walk. This is in the suburbs, I would think the city would be more expensive?

We paid $15/walk for an independent dog walker, and now pay $18/walk for a walker from a bonded and insured company. We don't need him walked every day though, and they charge less if you do 5+ walks per week.

I pay $15/walk in the city (because we do more than 3 walks/week). t's more expensive for occasional walks.

The popular guy in our building charges $15 for 15 for people in buildings with more than one client.

If you need someone to walk your dog for you, you should not be a dog owner

OK, I'll just dump my senior dog at the pound then. To heck with the 9 years we've spent together.

I spend $17/20 minute walk. I though it would be cheaper out in the wilds of Fairfax County where I live now than when I was in the city, but nope. Same price. Seems to be the going rate for a good walker.

Why on earth do you not walk your dog yourself?

Do you ever worry about your dog loving the dog walker more than what he loves you?

DH or I walk my dog in the morning before work, when we get home from work, and before bed. On the three days a week one of us works from home and on weekends we also walk him mid-day. On the other two days of the week, someone comes in mid-day so he doesn't have to go 9 hours without a pee break. So no, I have no concerns that my dog loves the dog walker more than us. And I have no guilt about using a dogwalker--it's not because I can't be bothered to walk my dog myself.
