To think this is expensive for a dog walker?

Our dog walker has put their 30 minute cost up to £25.

I think this is taking the mick, can I ask what others think? We are in the SE

I mean … is the dog satisfied with the service she provides?

a good dog wanker is worth her weight in gold .

Oh God, sorry…..

My dog wanker charges a lot more than that, but I get one free wank for me for every five dog wanks, so it's definitely worth it.

That's the last time I'll ever shout COME! when I'm calling my dog in the park.

Smokeybacon72 · 14/04/2026 19:24

They need to buy horse n hound to get dog in the mood so that'll add to the cost

My dad offers this service - his text to me from a couple of years ago 🤣

I think you'll find they prefer to be called 'Reproductive Veterinarians'.

Except it doesn’t make a change. The vast majority of posts now are bullshit. Ones like this and all the other fairy tales people post on here.

Fairy25 · 14/04/2026 19:39

that is mad. I pay £15 for an hour and thought that was a lot, it’s a group walk though

Isobel201 · 14/04/2026 19:43

£25 for 30 minutes, the dog walker is effectively charging you less than her time taken.

Moonlightfrog · 14/04/2026 19:50

I charge £15 for an hour but would charge the same for half an hour because I usually have to drive to collect the dog. £25 for half an hour seems steep.

Propagandalf · 14/04/2026 19:55

30 minutes is what I would consider a stamina wank.

bugalugs45 · 14/04/2026 19:58

Also SE and I pay £12 for an hour which is cheap but is a group walk , I think £15 is prob about average but for an hour not 30 minutes .
£25 is taking the absolute piss .

My dog IS a wanker.

He ate my husband's cornflakes this morning when he went to answer the door.

ETA: My husband went to answer the door - not the dog.

So disappointed you got the title changed! 😂

BoarBrush · 14/04/2026 20:06

Crikey we pay £25 for 9-4 ish daycare which includes 2 group walks.

Misnofitness · 14/04/2026 20:12

Can’t see the original title but I can guess 😂😂

my dog walker charges £20 for an ‘hour’- which is realistically more like 3 hours as he takes a group out but even 1.1 it would be £20 for the hour. In the south east

Op, report your post to get the title changed!

At that hourly rate the OP got the title right!!

Tinydogssitter · 14/04/2026 20:30

I charge £20 for a 1-1 walk. For 30 mins I charge £14.

Is your dog getting a 1 to 1 wank?

I'm in the SE and it's about £25 for a one hour walk on a one to one basis. No group walks. A 60 minute group walk is about £15 for an hour.

Your dog walker is taking the p*ss.

Hallamule · 14/04/2026 20:47

People can charge what they like for their time- as long as they can find someone to pay for it.
