What are reasonable prices you would pay for your dog to be walked for about 30-45 minutes? Thanks!!!?

Question

My friend, her brother, and I are going to start a dog walking business, and we don't know how much to charge. What would you think is an agreeable price for these--

Below is: the size-- example of dog

Extra Large-- Great Danes

Large-- Golden Retriever

Medium-- Lab, poodle, Cocker spaniel

Small-- Reg. Yorkie

Extra Small-- Miniature, teacup, or runt of the litter of any type.

By the way, my friend and I are only 6th grade, but we have experience.

Answer 1

I wouldn't base it on size.  But maybe $10

Answer 2

$15 bucks for a 45 minute walk, regardless of breed.  People will be FINE with that price.

Answer 3

For my girls I'd pay 15 for 45 mins.  Because there's 2 of them and large breed.  

Answer 4

I operate a pet care business and do dog walking.  I do not base my rates on the size of the dog unless their are multiple dogs.  For example, for one dog I charge $15 per walk, regardless of size.  If there are two dogs and one is very small, I would only charge $17 per walk but if there are two large dogs, I would charge $20 per walk.

However, you can base your prices on what works for you.  Just keep in mind what rates are most likely to appeal to clients.  Also keep in mind what a huge responsibility it is to take care of someone else's dog.  It takes a significant amount of attention to detail to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Answer 5

medium-extra large should be $5 for like 30min

small and below would be about $3 if you walk 2 dogs you would rpob make the salary of a person that works in wal mart for 1 hour

Answer 6

well..idk 6th grade seams super young to be able to handle my dog.

my dog is a great dane/saint bernard..

I would pay thisif I didnt do it myself:

extra large- $15

large- $10

medium- $10

small-$20 cuz little dogs suck.

extra small- DONT TAKE THEM INTO YOUR HANS UNLESS YOU HAVE INSURANCE! they suck and would prob die while walking it.

Answer 7

They should all be the same price. I'd pay $2.00 every 15 minutes. But how would I know? I take my dog for a walk every single day, for at least 45 minutes. I don't need somebody to walk my dog. And, I think you have to be 18 to legally start an actual business.

Answer 8

Extra Large- $15

Large- $12

Medium- $10

Small- $7-8

Extra Small- $4-5

Edit:  I also think that you shouldn't go by size strictly...I'd use those prices for like a 20 minute walk...if the owner wants u to take the dog to the park or something then add $1-2...

Answer 9

Wow you people amaze me!!!

For a 6th grader to walk my dog I would pay them $5.

No matter what size the dog is!
