How It Works
Dog walking rates in the UK average £10–£20 per 30-minute solo walk and £8–£15 per group walk. In the US, rates average $15–$35 per 30-minute walk in most cities, and $30–$60+ in major metropolitan areas. Solo walks command a premium over group walks. Early morning and late evening walks may carry a surcharge. Larger dogs, reactive dogs, or those requiring special handling also command higher rates.
