Dog walkers charge from £5 per dog, per walk. A walk lasts roughly 30 minutes in length.
This rate depends on how many dogs you require walking and how many times you will need them to be walked.
Several dog walkers ask for the same rate for additional dogs while others reduce their fee by almost 50% in certain circumstances.
It is best to speak to a verified dog walking service listed on Yell.com for further information about prices.
No, you are not required to tip dog walkers. But if you are especially pleased with a dog walker’s service, 15-20% is the normal percentage.
You can find a dog walker in your area through Yell.com. We have listed many professional dog walking businesses, all of which are fully trained and have the right insurance to legally take care of your pet. You can also read numerous reviews and browse a whole host of verified dog walkers in your area.
Home pet sitting rates start from £10 an hour. In fact, a pet sitter can earn roughly £24,218 annually.
The cost of home pet sitting depends on your location, which animals you need looking after and what requirements you may need from your pet sitter. You can ask your pet-sitting service to do little extras such as plant watering, house sitting and taking out the bins.
Overnight pet sitting costs from £50, but this rate depends on what tasks you require. For example, do you need your overnight pet sitter to do certain house duties, too? Do you require your pet sitter to stay for the whole day as well?
On Yell.com, you can find a specialist pet grooming salon that provides everything from clipping to teeth brushing.
Other services that pet grooming companies provide include:
Hand stripping
Scissor work
Ear cleaning
Nail clipping
Washing
Drying
Several pet grooming services will require you to drop off and pick up your pet from their location. Others will offer a collection and drop off service.
You can even choose to use a mobile pet grooming service, which involves a professional groomer clipping and grooming your pet from a specially fitted van.
It is best to speak to your preferred grooming service to determine what facilities and supplies they provide and make sure they are skilled and willing to groom your pet. Several grooming services only take on certain types and breeds, so it is important to find one that knows how to deal with your specific pet.
It usually takes 2 hours to groom your pet. But the length of time it takes will depend on the following:
Your pet’s size
The condition of your pet’s coat
How technical the procedure is
For instance, a working dog will take a lot less time to clip than a show poodle having its coat trimmed.
You can expect grooming to take up to 4 hours if your pet is particularly big. And don’t be surprised if specialist treatments are used, too.
You will be informed when to collect your pet. On collection, your groomer will let you know what they discovered when grooming and bathing, like bumps, lumps, fleas or skin issues.
It typically costs from £39 for mobile dog grooming, but the rate depends on a range of factors such as your dog’s size, its coat, and your location.
