How it works

Simple for owners. Fair for walkers.

A marketplace built around trust: real local walkers, real-time availability, protected payments and reviews that can only come from completed bookings.

Step 1

Search your neighborhood

Enter your ZIP code or share your location. Filter by service, date, dog size, price and verified walkers. Each profile shows prices, accepted dog sizes, weekly availability and genuine reviews.

Step 2

Say hello first

Message walkers before booking to ask questions and set up a meet-and-greet. Your phone number and address stay private until you're ready.

Step 3

Book an open slot

Choose a service and pick a time from the walker's live calendar — no back-and-forth. You see the full price, including extra dogs, before you pay.

Step 4

Pay securely, relax

Your payment is held by FindDogWalker. If the walker declines, you're refunded automatically. They're only paid after the job is completed.

Step 5

Review & rebook

Leave a review after each completed booking and save your favorite walkers to rebook in a couple of taps.

Find a walker near me

1. Create a free account

Sign up as a walker — no fees to join or to stay listed.

2. Build your profile

Add a friendly photo, your experience, the dog sizes you accept and your service area.

3. Set services & prices

Choose what you offer — walks, drop-ins, boarding, sitting or day care — and set your own rates.

4. Set your hours

Add weekly availability. Owners only see open slots, so no double-bookings.

5. Get verified

Upload a photo ID and consent to a background check. We review every profile before it goes live.

6. Get paid

Accept requests you want. When a booking is done, earnings (minus a 15% service fee) land in your balance. Withdraw any time above $25.

All FAQs Contact us
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.
