Websites for dog walkers
Web design for dog walkers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. You have a key to their house and their dog's life. Trust is the entire product.
Dog walking is bought by owners who work and feel guilty about it. They are handing over a key and an animal they love to somebody they may meet once.
Everything that reduces that anxiety — insurance, references, updates during the walk, how keys are handled — matters more than the price per walk.
What your customers want answered
- Which areas do you cover and do you have space
- What does it cost, and is it group or solo walking
- How many dogs do you walk at once
- Are you insured, and how do you handle keys
- Will I hear from you during the day
Send a photo from every walkA picture and a line about how the walk went, sent to the owner each day, is the single most valued thing in this trade. Saying that you do it turns a commodity service into a relationship and makes you very hard to replace.
Not stating group sizes
Owners have read about walkers with a dozen dogs in a van. Stating how many you walk together, and how dogs are matched, addresses a real concern that competitors leave hanging.
Walks, areas and prices
Explain the walks you offer, such as solo walks, small group walks and puppy visits, how long each is, the areas you cover and prices. Say how many dogs you walk at once.
Trust: insurance, keys and updates
Owners are handing over their keys and their dog. Show your insurance, any checks, how keys are stored and how you send updates or photos after each walk. A meet-and-greet before the first walk is reassuring.
