I charge $15 per walk in MA. It really depends on where you live and what the going rate/time is. In affluent communities it's more than blue collar or "normal" working class areas. Call around to other dog walkers and ask them what their rates are. It's called shopping the competition.
I wouldn't charge per hour.
You should charge for every walk, yes. That doesn't mean you shouldn't offer discounts for plans which involve purchasing more walks than 1 per day. For example you might offer a 10% discount for 2 walks per day. For your infrequent clients, you might consider offering them bulk plans where they purchase 10 walks at a time up front. For your regular weekly clients charge them a week in advance rather than per walk. Many walkers charge in arears, I do not, I learned charging ahead of time works much better in terms of getting paid in a timely fashion. You might also consider using recurrent credit card billing via PayPal.
Yes, it is not unreasonable to charge a surcharge for "out of control" dogs. If you are a capable trainer, you can offer retraining or behavior modification to your services.
I wrote a step-by-step guide called "The Dog Walker's Startup Guide: Create Your Own Lucrative Dog Walking Business in 12 Easy Steps" to answer these questions and many more. Check it out at http://www.dogzanny.com

∙ 14y agoI accually made flyers and put them in my neighborhoods mail boxes and it showed them the price which was $4 dollars for big dogs and $2 for small dogs.That is reasonable but no higher.We started yesterday and already have 3 or 4 buyers and theres 30 dog owners on our street. But make sure if its neighbors give them a email and a number to contact you at.

∙ 13y agoI would pay the dog walker $15 - $20 a week, depending on how well they exercised the dog. So, if I wanted them to walk my dog for three weeks at the end of three weeks the dog walker would have earned $60. If I wanted them to walk my dog for a month (lets say January, so 5 weeks), and I paid them $20 dollars each week, the dog walker would earn $100 dollars when the five weeks were over. If I wanted them to walk my dog for a full year, which is 365 (non - leap year) days, and I paid them $20 dollars each week, they would earn...*drum roll*...$7,300! Wow, that's a lot of money! But you could choose between $15 and $20, depending on what suites for you best.

∙ 12y agoGenerally $15.00 for a good 30 minute walk is what you can expect from an experienced pet sitter. Some pet sitters reduce the cost if they do it daily. OR if you are extra sweet and do extra stuff, they might pay you more.

You want to start a dog walking service but how much should you charge people to walk there dog for half an hour?
I used to have my own business walking dogs, and so what I used to do was charge two dollars for a big-medium dog, and then one for a small dog. If you are going to walk them for thirty minutes, then I suggest charging the $2/big-medium or the $1/small as a base fee and then fifty cents - maybe? - for every thirty minutes.
How much should you charge for an hour of dog walking?
This answer depends on how credible their dog walking service is. If it a fledgling company, then give them a decent amount around $5 to $10. If it a regular dog walker, then spend $10 to $20. This will show not only your appreciation on the job well done, but also add a minute amount of credibility to strengthen their company for the future.

How much should I charge for dog walking busisness if i walk the dog one mile?
At least $10 because a mile is 5,280 feet. Half a mile you pay only $5. And a short walk $2. That is a good way to do it, but from the way i see it, you should charge for the minutes, like, $5 for a 15 min. walk, or $8-$10 for a half hour. that's what i would charge anyway. anything longer than a half hour should be negotiated with the dog owner.
