How to interview a Dog Walker

Hi I'm out in LA for a few months for work. I'm with my dog and staying at a friends. I've never hired a dog walker before and a bit overwhelmed about how to interview people. I haven't really had to hire someone to walk my dog before. What questions should I ask and what do I need to watch out for?

One place i would check out for reviews of dog businesses at this point is CITYSEARCH.COM

I ADVERTISE there myself, and my clients can post reviews...it's a good place to find a reputable walker who is growing their business and responsible..

 

It doesn't mean that you can't find a person with a very small local business who is also responsible..it's just not as time consuming if you do it via the web
