Ah, you're diving deep into the dog-care world!

1. Does your dog walker offer any additional services like feeding or medication administration?
   If your dog requires specific feeding schedules or needs their medication administered, just let the walker know. They’ll generally be happy to make sure they get the care they need, whether it’s mealtime or a little pill-time! Pro tip: ask if they are a certified pet sitter/dog walker, this will give further peace of mind.

2. Where do they typically take dogs for walks?
   Walking routes are flexible and can vary depending on your dog’s personality. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood, a trek through the park, or an adventure along the local trails, make sure it matches your dog's energy and preferences.

3. Will you ever unleash my dog?
   Great question to ask; your dog walker should believe in safety first. If your dog has solid recall and you’re comfortable with it, there may be an opportunity to let them roam free in safe, secure areas. But if your dog isn’t quite ready for that kind of freedom, please communicate this with your walker;  keep them on a leash and follow their lead—always with their safety and happiness in mind!

4. What types of leashes and harnesses has your walker used? Make sure your walker has had experience with all types of collars, leashes and harnesses, such as gentle leader head collar. Knowing if they have had this experience will be critical for the comfort and safety of your dog.
