One-hour dog walks typically cost $30–$50 depending on your location and service quality. In Chicago, the standard range is $40–$55 for a single dog.
Chicago 1-Hour Walk Pricing:
- Standard service: $40–$50 (experienced walkers with good reviews)
- Premium service: $50–$60 (expert handlers, specialized care, GPS tracking)
- Additional dogs: Add $10–$15 per dog from the same household
Why 1-Hour Walks Cost More Per Minute:
While a 30-minute walk costs $25–$35 ($50–$70/hour equivalent), a full hour costs $40–$55. This isn't contradictory—longer walks require more sustained energy, limit the walker's ability to schedule other clients, and provide significantly more exercise and enrichment for your dog.
