Tip the dog walker?

Can I ask what the going rate is for a Xmas tip for a dog walker? I don't want to cause offence by going too low! We pay £15 for a one hour walk (they are usually gone for up to 2 hours by the time she has collected all the dogs etc) and we have her 4 days a week normally, if that's helpful.

I didn't tip instead bought her a present.

I give my dog walker an extra week's money as an Xmas tip plus a bottle of wine. She is very reliable and often does an extra walk at short notice so I am happy to show my appreciation.

I tip the dog walker £50. Quite a lot but reflects my appreciation of her services

Bought my dog walker a decent present , perfume ( I asked her sister what she liked ) , spent around £80 which is a lot but I appreciate her massively , she also house sits if I'm away ( paid of course but still ) .
She's worth her weight in gold to me .
I'd deffo tip maybe £20/£30 if you can afford to do so

I'm a dog walker, mostly i receive presents- wine, chocolates, toiletries. I only have one client who gives me cash. Always nice to receive something but the things that really stand out to me are nice comments made in Christmas cards.

Ours comes twice a week. We got her a decent bottle of champagne.

We got ours a plant and a bottle of fizz, plus we gave her a toy and treats for her dog and a gift card for her son who helps her in the school holidays.
