Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Choosing a Dog Walker: Meet with several reputable and experienced dog walkers and choose the company/ person you feel most comfortable with. Make sure your dog walker has a back-up plan: A dog walking company that consists of a single person is necessarily unreliable--sooner or later, something is bound to come up. Also, you should never be asked to pay to meet the person who will be regularly coming in and out of your home.
Flexibility: If your potential dog walker makes you feel in any way pressured, run. He should be someone who works with you, someone who understands that last minute changes occur and doesn't charge you when they do.
References: Don't just trust Yelp! Check your dog walker's references -- they should provide the names and numbers of at least three clients upon request. A walker unable to do so probably doesn't have at least three happy (and real) clients. A lively facebook page with a lot of interaction with clients is also a pretty reliable indication of dedicated and professional dog walker.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. We offer the lowest rates in Los Angeles, and we strive to make dog walking a service available to everybody. With this as our goal, we cut every expense that inevitably leads to higher prices -- for instance, we don't advertise or maintain a traditional website -- and, frankly, we don't rip you off! We won't charge you for a last minute cancelations, or add fees for little extras like giving your dog his medication or feeding your cat.
Furthermore, with SLDW, there is no out-sourcing. We have no "employees" -- Silver Lake Dog Walkers is just Joel and Monica; so, with us, you always know who's walking your dog, and your dog always knows who's walking him.
