Hiring A Dog Walker: Can I Trust My Dog Walker with My House Key?

Asking “Can I trust my Dog Walker with my house key?” is a natural question to ask when choosing whether to hire a Dog Walker and which one! Though, I must admit that I understand why some people dismiss this question. Why? Well, they would argue that if you don’t trust your Dog Walker with your house keys, should you really trust them to be looking after your dog(s)? But in reality, I know that handing over your house keys to a Dog Walker goes beyond the question of trusting them with the care of your dog(s). Trusting your Dog Walker with your house keys is very different to trusting them with your dog(s). While your Dog Walker may have all the necessary skills and experience to be working with your pet, how do you know they put the right safeguards in place to ensure your home is protected too?

 No identifiable information is held on the keys 

This protects your privacy and security particularly if the key(s) were lost. Each key is marked up with a serial number. This means that only your Dog Walker knows which key is for your own home. It also ensures that if they were ever to be lost and found by a stranger, they would not be able to identify your home from any key tag. 

Keys will never be left in a ‘safe’ place!

You and your Dog Walker should ensure that keys are never left under a mat or a plant pot or any assumed ‘safe’ place.
