It will vary depending on the area - whereabouts are you? I would go on personal recommendations... ask everyone you meet with a dog when walking yours - and ask/look for ads in a few vets, see if the same name comes up a few times. Then interview them to see if you'd trust them with your dog.

Local ones around here cost about £5 a day.

Don't know if these people are in your area but they operate around here and are v professional. petpals

Where are you 2labs?

WJ - I'm in SE London/Kent borders - know a couple of dogwalkers round here if anyone needs one.
