Dog Walking Duties & Salary in Australia

A dog walker in Australia is responsible for taking dogs on walks, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. They may work independently or for a pet care company. Australia, with its vast landscapes and diverse ecosystems, offers an exciting opportunity for dog walkers to explore various terrains while enjoying the company of furry companions.

The main duties of a dog walker in Australia include picking up dogs from their homes, walking them on designated routes, and ensuring their safety throughout the walk. They must be knowledgeable about dog behavior and have the ability to handle different breeds and temperaments. Additionally, dog walkers may provide basic training, administer medication, and clean up after the dogs.

Key skills required for a dog walker in Australia include excellent animal handling skills, physical fitness, and the ability to manage multiple dogs at once. Additionally, having a good understanding of canine behavior and basic first aid knowledge is important. Experience working with dogs, such as volunteering at animal shelters or owning pets, is beneficial.

In Australia, work opportunities for dog walkers can be found in various regions, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth. These cities have a high demand for pet care services, and dog walkers can often find employment with established pet care companies or set up their own independent businesses.

The expected salary range for a dog walker in Australia is approximately AUD 20 to AUD 30 per hour. However, rates may vary depending on factors such as location, experience, and the number of dogs walked simultaneously.
