Dovresti considerare un dog sitter?
Exercise, play, mental stimulation and socialisation are important for your dog’s wellbeing, health and development. These activities also minimizes boredom, destructive and unwanted behavior such as chewing furniture and barking when alone.
However, our hectic lives make it hard to juggle the demands of work, running a household, raising a family and other time pressures we experience. Allocating time for your dog’s daily exercise can be impossible. And sometimes, life throws you a curve ball in the form of illness, temporary incapacity and immobility or busy periods and you may need a short-term solution.
Dogs are social animals and do not like to be left alone for hours. This is unavoidable as we need to make a living after all. If you live in an apartment, it’s unlikely your dog is exercising at all during the day. Even if you have a backyard, your dog may be exercising but may not be getting the level of socialisation and interaction required.
Se sei via per la maggior parte della giornata, sappi che il tuo cane non sta facendo l'esercizio o la stimolazione di cui ha bisogno, i vicini si lamentano di abbaiare e piagnucolare, stanno tornando a casa in bagno o masticando mobili o stanno notando cambiamenti nel comportamento del tuo cane, allora potrebbe essere il momento di prendere in considerazione l'assunzione di un dog walker.
Choosing a dog walker
Hiring a service is never cheap and you should take it seriously as you will be leaving the care of your beloved pet in the hands of another and will also need to trust them in your home.
You should ask potential walkers a range of questions and consider the needs of both you and your dog. Your dog’s age, breed, temperament, health, energy level and exercise preference will influence who is the right dog walker for you.
The best place to start is to seek advice from your vet, local pet store, trainers or friends and family who can recommend a dog walker.

- Request the walker provide referrals and client testimonials.
- Da quanto tempo operano e si sono verificati problemi, lesioni o decessi per cani, reclami dei clienti, azioni legali?
- Do they have insurance and what type do they have, when does it expire and what does it cover?
- Chiedi informazioni sulle loro qualifiche, certificazione, esperienza o se sono membri di associazioni di animali da compagnia pertinenti. Queste informazioni indicheranno la loro dedizione, professionalità e probabilità che possano gestire eventuali problemi comportamentali o di salute. Un buon camminatore di cani dovrebbe essere ben informato sull'addestramento, sul comportamento e persino sul pronto soccorso del cane.
- Descrivi ciò che ti aspetti e le esigenze particolari, i problemi di salute o di sicurezza del tuo cane.
- Chiedi al camminatore di incontrare il tuo cane e di fare una passeggiata insieme. Osserva come il tuo cane risponde a loro e come interagiscono e gestiscono il tuo cane.
- Some dogs love to play with others and will happily run around once at the dog park. Others prefer to be walked. Find out what the walker has planned and whether it suits your dog and what you want.
- With large companies you may not get the same walker each time. Find out how they arrange their bookings and exactly who will be walking your dog. If you have hired an individual or are using a small company, ask who the back-up person will be in case your walker becomes ill or is unavailable. You should also check the any additional walker's or back-up walker's experience and references.
- How many dogs do they take at a time and how do they group the dogs - by age, size, breed? How well does your dog socialise with others? Will this be problematic or beneficial for your dog?
- Will your dog be in a car? For how long? How are dogs restrained in the car?
- What training techniques do they use? Will they adhere to your training preference and commands? How do they handle aggresssion or other behavioural issues.
- Where will they walk your dog and which park will they go to? How long will they be exercised for, not total time in the walker’s care but actual time exercising? Are they aware of local council rules about leash compliance and cleaning up?
- What will happen if it rains or very hot or cold days?
- Fornisci prelibatezze, guinzaglio, colletto e guinzaglio, collare e cartellino identificativo per il tuo cane. Il tag di identificazione del tuo cane dovrebbe avere i tuoi dati di contatto attuali.
- Assicurati che il tuo walker abbia i tuoi dati di contatto e l'indirizzo e il numero di telefono del veterinario. Potrebbe essere necessario informare il veterinario che il camminatore ha il permesso di cercare cure per il tuo cane in caso di emergenza.
- Have regular catch-ups to make sure there are no problems and that they, and more importantly your dog, are happy.
