Trust & safety

Peace of mind is built in, not bolted on

Handing over your keys and your best friend is a big deal. Every part of FindDogWalker is designed to make that decision easier.

How we keep dogs safe

Every walker reviewed

Walkers upload a photo ID and consent to a background check. A real person reviews each application before it goes live.

Payments held securely

You pay when you book. The walker is credited only after the service is completed — declines are refunded automatically.

Private messaging

Talk to walkers through on-platform messaging, so your phone number and address stay private until you're ready.

Reviews you can trust

Only owners with a completed booking can leave a review, and walkers can reply publicly.

Our promise

The way pet care should feel

Reviews on FindDogWalker can only be left after a completed, paid booking — so the ratings you see are always real.

Meet & greet first

Message any walker before you book and agree on routines, keys and quirks.

Updates after every visit

Walkers mark each visit as started and completed, so you always know your dog's day.

Fair cancellations

Unconfirmed requests can be cancelled any time. Confirmed bookings up to 24 hours before start for a full refund.

For dog lovers

Set your own prices and hours, choose the dogs you walk, and get paid securely after every booking. No sign-up or monthly fees.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about booking, payments and safety. Can't find an answer?

How do I find a dog walker near me?
Enter your city or ZIP code (or tap the location arrow) on the search page. You'll see approved walkers who serve your area, with their prices, services, availability and reviews. Filter by service, date, dog size and price.
How are walkers screened?
Every walker creates a detailed profile, uploads a government-issued photo ID and consents to a background check. Our team reviews each application before it can be booked. Profiles show badges such as "ID verified" and "Background checked" only after we have confirmed them.
How much does a dog walk cost?
Walkers set their own prices. A 30-minute walk in most US cities typically costs $18–$30, with an optional fee for each additional dog. You always see the full price — including extra dogs — before you pay.
When am I charged?
You pay when you book, using your wallet balance or a card/online payment method. The money is held by FindDogWalker and is only released to your walker after the service is completed. If the walker declines, you are refunded to your wallet automatically.
What is the cancellation policy?
Requests that haven't been confirmed yet can be cancelled at any time for a full refund. Confirmed bookings can be cancelled online for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Inside that window, please contact support.
Can I meet the walker before booking?
Yes — and we recommend it. Use the Message button on any profile to ask questions and arrange a short meet-and-greet before your first booking.
