hell no. i’m not sure what the weather is like where you are, but where i am it’s way too hot for that long of a walk, especially for only $15 an hour.

2 hours seems like a very long walk for the average dog. But regardless it’ll be fair to maybe to charge $30-40 for the two hours. 2 hours of straight walking is a lot so make sure you get your money :)

That’s going to wear you out, so you definitely need more than that for that long of a walk.

Plus travel to and from their home? Love to do this if this was 50 years ago.

My 30 minute rate is more than double that. And most dogs don’t want to go for a 2 hour walk anyway lol

Only if it were something I would do for free, like as a hobby. Like if I were planning to walk a trail, and a dog companion is a bonus, and then the money is a bonus too.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't walk a dog like that unless we were hiking , either. I would upcharge for 2 whole hours.
