How much does a dog walker cost in South West London
Short answer. Round here you'll usually see £12 to £20 for a half hour and £18 to £30 for an hour. Solo walks sit at the top of that. Group walks sit at the bottom.
Below is what actually moves the price, and what I charge.
What changes the price
Solo or group. A solo walk is one dog for the whole slot, so it costs more. A group walk splits the time.
How long. Half an hour, an hour, or two hours. Longer walks work out better per minute.
How often. Regular weekly slots get priority over one off walks, and they're easier to plan around.
Where you are. I don't charge extra for collection anywhere I cover. Some walkers do, so worth asking.
Extras. Watch out for meet and greet fees, bank holiday rates and joining fees. My meet and greet is on me.
What I charge
Group walks start at £11 for half an hour. Solo walks start at £13 for new customers' first 4 weeks, with collection included in every one. After that, half hour group walks are £13 and solo walks are £15.

What you get for it
A photo and a quick message after every walk.
Paws towelled off before your dog goes back in the house.
Fresh water topped up.
A meet and greet before the first walk, on me.
Walks in Bushy Park and Home Park, not a lap of the block.
