You must be 16 or older to use Walkies, and able to enter into a legally binding agreement where you live. That's in our Terms of Service, and it applies to everyone, including team members. For walking dogs in general, there's no single age: it depends on where you live, your insurance, and who you work for.
Using Walkies
You must be 16 or older to sign up, whether you're starting your own business or joining a team.
Walking dogs in general
Local rules: some places need a licence for some pet care, like boarding, and some areas limit how many dogs one person can walk at once. Check with your local council or authority.
Insurance: pet care insurance is usually for adults. Check the age limit with the insurer before you start.
Employers: pet care businesses set their own minimum age for walkers, and it's often 18.
Under 18? Walking dogs for family and neighbours, with a parent or guardian's OK, is a great way to get experience.
