How much would you pay someone to walk your dog for 15-20 mins?

I would never want a 15-20 min walk as really not worth it for my 2 high energy dogs.

But if I did £3 for 1 & £5 for 2.

Depends on whether it was a professional dog walker who might have to travel and has to cover expenses such as insurance etc possibly £8?

A friend who lived nearby maybe £5

However, it's unusually to only want 15-20 mins.

My dog walker charges £32 per week for four half-hour walks per week for two dogs. She drives them places for a good, proper, mucky off-lead walk, not just around the footpaths near our house, so I think she actually has them in her possession for longer than half an hour.

To add I pay £14 for a 45 minute walk for 2 dogs.

What do you do when you run out of poo bags on a walk?
I had a stressful situation today, my dog usually has 2 poo's on a short walk and I took out 4 bags to be on the safe side.
I used all 4 bags on him he must of not been feeling well and as I'm walking home he does another, A woman started screaming at me to pick up his poo but how can I with no bag so I explained this to her whilst shouting across the street and she gets me nappy bags, I said Thankyou but she tutted and went back in her house. What are we supposed to do if this does happen ?

The same thing has happened to me. You can't do anything but if I go the same route again and it is still there next day or later, I will pick it up then. Once, when it was not far from home, I went back out to get it.

Depends really are you a teenager just looking for extra cash with no insurance and a 15-20 Walk from the house or is it an elderly dog who can’t walk far and are you a proper dog walker.
Proper dog walker in my area does a minimum of half an hour in the woods 2 minutes from my house and it’s £5 per half hour.
