Tips In Finding A Good Dog Walker

By Eugenia Dickerson


You might be someone who is very busy and work usually takes graveyard or will end at late night. In which you can only spend time with your dog with limits. Or you might not have the strength anymore to take your pet into the park for few hours. Or maybe you are not yet allowed to go out because you are still under medication and you must stay at home for few months. In this case, you need to look for chicago dog walkers.

They are trained to take you away from a worried life particularly with your pets. But it is said that you might take risk if you are to hire one because robbers nowadays are hiding in different masks just to access the house of the victims freely. You will also take risk in a way that the life of your dog is in the hands of the strangers.

And to keep away your worry, here are some guideline in hiring one. No matter how you will contact him, phone or internet, you need to ask him if he took any training related for the job and how many years he had been doing this. Even if their work is just to walk pets, they are to be issued training certificates because they are handling a big responsibility.

Conduct a background check by contacting his previous and current clients as what he had considered as his references. People who worked with him might know how the way he work and how honest is he when it comes to any problems. You should not forget to ask them about his tardiness if he is a bit tardy or if he can be someone reliable for the job.

Ask him about licensure and insurance. If you are contacting with a professional walker, it is surely that he has an insurance and so if something will occur unexpectedly under his guardian they will take the responsibility. You should inquire about the coverage of his insurance just to make sure that he really knows about the business he is into.

Ask him if he can afford to face special circumstance. For example, your pet is crippled but you want him to be exposed to the outside world. So you should inquire him if he had experienced walking a crippled dog. If not, better decline and find another one so that you can assure that your dog is in good care.

When it comes to rate, some charge per session and some charge per hour. Ask him about it and ask how much is the charge. After that, you can call around for you to find out if he is not over pricing. Sometimes payment also depends on how many pets he is to walk and how far is your house from the area where he will walk the dogs.

Before the day you will begin, you should meet in flesh first so that your pet will get comfortable with him and so as you. You can take advantage to get to know him more especially the way he talks with the pet and the way he talks with you. You can observe his approaches and you may tell him more about your pet.

Chicago dog walkers are highly trained to support your needs. Just remember that there are scope and limitations for his service and so you should not treat him as your servant. They might be costly but just think about you and the happiness of your dog.
