How to Pick a Houston Dog Walker You Can Trust

Written by Shady, founder of Shady Waggers · · Houston

You are trusting someone with your dog and your home. That is a big deal. Here are 7 things to check before you hire a dog walker in Houston.

Your checklist

A great dog walker will:

  • Be insured and bonded
  • Have a small, close team, not random app workers
  • Keep detailed notes so every walker knows your dog
  • Give you photos and notes after each visit
  • Offer a free meet and greet first
  • Keep your key safe at your home
  • Have real reviews you can read

Watch for red flags

Be careful if a walker:

  • Will not meet you and your dog first
  • Sends a new person every time
  • Gives no proof the walk happened
  • Has no reviews or a bad rating
  • Is not insured
