Frequently Asked Questions


Did you know pet exercise is just as important as it is for you? Ensuring your dog gets the right kinds of exercise will help keep them in great shape. An inactive lifestyle is bad for people, and it's bad for dogs and cats too. Exercise can keep sickness and disease away and keep your pet looking and feeling good. In fact, exercising your pet is so important that Animal Welfare Advisors has proposed laws requiring dog owners exercise their dogs on a daily basis. Having regular dog walks will make your dogs:
  • Fit & active
  • Prevent Obesity related medical conditions like osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and insulin resistance
  • Will promote cardiovascular fitness, lower blood pressure & strong muscles
  • Keep them happy!
  • WILL pick up every dog poo responsibly.
  • WILL be police checked.
  • WON'T just let dogs off the leash in a public space
  • WON'T walk dogs on heat.
  • WON'T exercise dogs in the heat of the day, putting your pet at risk of burnt paws, or heatstroke, which can end in death.
  • WON'T take your dog to a dog park, which is a hot spot for fights.
  • WON'T walk your dog in a pack. Only personalized walks.
  • Sign Up for Free: Sign up and create an account. Make sure you select what you want to do - Find pet care service, Offer pet care service or both.

A dog walking service sends a trusted walker to your home to exercise your dog for a set time - commonly 30 or 60 minutes - while you're at work or busy. You book online, the walker collects your dog, follows your instructions, and many services send updates or photos. PetCloud connects you with verified local walkers.

Supporting points
  • Walks can be one-off or regular (for example weekdays).
  • Good for dogs needing daytime exercise, toilet breaks and stimulation.
  • Confirm your dog's leash behaviour, route preferences and any triggers up front.
Dog walkers in Australia typically charge about $20–$50 per walk, depending on walk length (30 vs 60 minutes), your location and whether it's a solo or group walk. Regular weekly bookings can be cheaper per walk. On PetCloud, walkers set and display their own rates so you know the cost before booking.

Supporting points
  • Solo walks cost more than group walks; peak-city rates are higher.
  • Extra dogs from the same home are often discounted.
  • [PetCloud to confirm current dog-walking ranges.]
Several Australian apps offer dog walking, including PetCloud, Mad Paws and Pawshake. PetCloud lets you book police-checked, vet-supported walkers, see transparent rates, and manage bookings, payments and updates in one app. The best app for you comes down to walker availability in your suburb, price, and the verification and support you want.

Supporting points
  • Compare on local walker availability, verification, reviews and price.
  • PetCloud: verified walkers, in-app booking and payments, vet support.
  • [PetCloud to confirm current app features and coverage.]
