What's right for your dog?
Dog Walking
Best for working owners whose dogs need midday exercise and a bathroom break. $15–$25 per 30-minute walk.
Boarding
Best for travel. Your dog stays in a sitter's home overnight. $25–$75 per night depending on your city.
Drop-In Visits
A sitter visits your home for 30 minutes to feed, play, and check on your dog. $15–$35 per visit.
Doggy Daycare
Full days of supervised play with other dogs. Great for social dogs. $20–$50 per day.
How much does dog walking cost?
A standard 30-minute dog walk costs $15–$25 in most US cities. Rates vary by location, walker experience, and whether your dog walks alone or in a group. WagWalking shows you local rates in your specific neighborhood.
Is Rover or WagWalking better?
Both are excellent. WagWalking is strongest for daily dog walking with GPS tracking and real-time updates. Rover has a larger network for boarding and sitting services. Many dog owners use both — WagWalking for daily walks, Rover for travel boarding.
How do I know if a dog walker is trustworthy?
Both WagWalking and Rover conduct background checks on all service providers. Read reviews from other dog owners in your neighborhood, check their rating and number of completed walks, and do a meet-and-greet before your first booking.
Does pet insurance cover dog walking injuries?
Pet insurance covers veterinary costs if your dog is injured — including injuries that happen during walks or at boarding facilities. It does not cover the cost of the walking or boarding service itself. Compare plans at PetInsurer.com.
