What to Ask Before Hiring a Dog Walker

Handing over your dog and often your house keys means trust matters. A few good questions will quickly tell you whether a dog walker is the right fit.

Insurance, DBS and experience

Ask whether they are insured, DBS-checked and experienced with dogs like yours. Rootophia's team is fully insured and DBS-checked.

Group sizes and matching

Find out how many dogs are walked together and how they are matched. We offer one-to-one walks for dogs who need steady attention and small, carefully chosen social outings.

Safety and updates

Ask how they keep dogs safe on and off lead, what happens in an emergency, and whether you will receive updates. Clear communication is a sign of a professional service.
