What Affects the Cost?

Pricing depends on walk length, whether your dog joins a group or receives solo attention, dog's age and behaviour, and your postcode within Hove. Seafront and central Hove locations may cost slightly more. Multiple dogs, longer walks, and recurring weekly bookings typically offer better value. Some walkers charge extra for dogs with mobility issues or behavioural training needs. Consistency and proximity to the walker's base also influence rates.

Money-Saving Tips

Book weekly packages for 10-15% discounts versus single walks. Combine your dog with group walks if your pet is social—group rates save £2-4 per walk. Arrange walks during mid-week when demand is lower for better availability and potential flexibility on pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a typical dog walk in Hove?

A standard walk includes collection from your home, a designated walk route (usually a local park or seafront), exercise appropriate to your dog's age and fitness, and return home with a brief update. Most walkers carry water bowls and waste bags. Some offer photo updates or GPS tracking via app.

Are group walks cheaper than solo walks?

Yes, significantly. Group walks typically cost £12-16 per dog versus £14-18 for solo 30-minute walks. However, your dog should be social and on-lead trained. Group walks suit most adult dogs but may not suit aggressive, anxious, or very young dogs.

Do walkers in Hove offer services other than walks?

Many do. Beyond walking, professional dog walkers offer pet-sitting (overnight care), drop-in visits, dog day care, and even dog training assistance. Some specialise in senior or anxious dogs. Ask your walker about additional services when booking.
