Dog walking in the Philippines: prices, schedules and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

Dog walking in the Philippines usually costs about ₱70 to ₱120 per hour, and larger dogs sit at the top of that range. For current prices, describe the walk on BlaBlaPrice: it looks through local sellers' websites and price lists, then shows the prices and walkers it finds.

Rules and what to check

A search for licences turned up no rule that applies to an ordinary dog walker in the Philippines. The one local permit we found covers transporting dogs and cats, so it matters when a dog travels by vehicle, not on a walk around the block. Still, ask a walker how they handle a dog that pulls, reacts to other dogs or gets loose, and what they do in an emergency.

Season and weather

The Philippines has no winter or summer, only a wet and a dry season, and it stays hot all year. Walks are more comfortable early in the morning or after sunset, when pavements have cooled. November is still in the wet season, so rain can cut a walk short. Agree in advance what happens on a rainy day and whether the walk moves to another time.

How walks are bought here

Walkers quote per hour, and the listings we found mention Quezon City and nearby areas. Ask each walker which of Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Cebu City or Davao City they cover, because travel between districts adds time and changes the real cost. If you want more than one dog walked at a time, say so, since the price can change with the number of dogs.

What to write in the request

Give the walking days and times, the walk length in minutes and how long the walker should stay out. Name your dog's breed and size, its temperament (pulls on the lead, calm with other dogs, reactive), your district, and how the walker gets in: keys, a gate code or a pickup at the door. Add your budget per walk or per hour so the offers can be compared.

Offers come through BlaBlaPrice in a chat. Sellers registered on the site receive your request and reply with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to exchange them with. You can also invite a walker you already know by sending them the request link.
