Looking for an eager helper?

Hello!

My name is Crystal and I'm looking to gain experience in child and animal care. Why? Well, as I've been exploring new opportunities lately, I've realized that out of all the kids I teach, spaces I take care of, and animals I meet, I hardly get to maintain any personal connection I create with any of them given my age. My live gets incredibly busy, but I still want to be able to make the most out of tasks that don't feel like hard work the whole time; ones that I can have fun in. I have a flexible schedule during summer and other breaks, so what's listed on my profile may be different from how much time I have to do my favorite thing---Help others!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
