Most adult dogs do well with at least three outings a day: a longer walk in the morning, a shorter one at midday and a walk in the evening. Puppies, seniors and very active breeds have different needs, so ask your vet or trainer about your dog. A PetHome Israel dog walk starts at 70 ₪ for 30 minutes and 110 ₪ for 60 minutes.

A typical day

  • Morning: a longer walk with time to sniff, ideally 30–60 minutes.
  • Midday: a toilet break and short walk, the one most often missed when owners work.
  • Evening: a walk of 30 minutes or more, plus a short last outing before bed.

When the needs change

Puppies need frequent toilet breaks and short sessions; ask your vet when outdoor walks can start.

Senior dogs often need more frequent but shorter, slower walks.

Active and working breeds usually need more exercise and mental work, not only longer walks.

Short-nosed breeds need gentle walks, especially in heat.

Summer in Israel

From late spring to autumn, walks belong to the early morning and after sunset. Midday becomes a short toilet break in the shade. Our walkers check the pavement temperature, carry water and shorten walks on very hot days.

Where a dog walker helps

The midday walk is the hardest to fit into a working day. A regular walker breaks the long stretch alone, which reduces barking, boredom and accidents. If your dog struggles to be alone all day, dog daycare from 180 ₪ may suit better.

Rainy days

In winter rain, walks may be shorter but should not be skipped entirely; the walker dries your dog and wipes its paws. If your dog refuses to go out in heavy rain, the walker waits for a break in the weather and tells you.

Do walkers walk dogs in groups?

By default, one dog or dogs from the same home.

Can I book a regular weekly schedule?

Yes, regular midday walks on chosen weekdays are easy to arrange.
