In a city like New York where people are constantly on the go, the dog owner does not always have the time to walk the dog as often as it should be walked. So in some dog owner's lives, it is important to find a trustworthy and dependable dog walker and sometimes, even a dog sitter.
When interviewing a perspective dog walker, the dog owner should ask him or her several standard questions that will reveal how good of a professional the person is. It's important to find out how long he or she has been doing this for a living, and if this is his or her sole profession. Does the dog walker own a dog? How many dogs does he walk at any given time? With a small breed, it's important that the dog walker specializes in walking small breeds and does not walk more than three at any given time. An owner should also be certain that the dog walker will be available for walking the dog at the number of times promised, and if he or she cannot walk the dog, that there is always a substitute available. References are also of great importance.
If a recommendation or referral from a fellow dog owner can'f be attained, there are several websites that may be helpful: www.care.com, www.aluckydog.org, and www.biscuitsandbath.com are among them. Remember, always interview a perspective dog walker extensively.
