For hour, the cost is 15 to 20 dollars. For one hour, the price is 20 to 30 dollars. The above pricing is for a single dog, an additional dog fetches half of the deal.
The rate is dictated on the walking distance, the kind of walk and if there are to be treats. The number of dogs walked also makes the rate vary.
