What matters most before booking dog walking for a family with multiple dogs?

Start by defining your must-haves: reliability, safety and a walking pace that suits each dog. Compare options on availability, whether they offer solo visits or small groups, and whether they can follow your dog's routine and any special needs. Ask for a meet-and-greet, read recent reviews, and confirm the provider has appropriate insurance or bonding. This usually narrows the field to the strongest matches, after which you can compare rates and policies side by side. Next step: compare the strongest matches or open a business assistant to help shortlist.
