Dog Walking in Johannesburg, Sandton & Alberton

Dog Walking in Johannesburg: Structured Walks by Trained, Vetted Walkers

A tired dog is a happy dog but a walk that happens at random times, in random places, does very little for a dog's confidence. Our dog walking service in Johannesburg runs on routine: the same walker, the same route, the same time slot, so your dog always knows what comes next.

We walk dogs across Sandton, Bryanston, Morningside, Riverclub, Rosebank, Fourways, Midrand, Kyalami, Alberton and Meyersdal. Walkers arrive in the midday window when Tar Road pavement temperatures have dropped, or early morning on request for dogs who manage the heat poorly. Every walker is police-vetted, trained through our Level 1 and Level 2 modules, and works alone with a maximum of two dogs from the same household so nothing is rushed and nothing is shared.

What a Scallin Blue walk actually includes

• ✓ 30 or 60 minutes of actual walking – not time spent in a car or standing in a gate queue.
• ✓ Fresh water before and after, plus a towel-down on wet or dusty days.
• ✓ A photo and short note after every walk, sent straight to WhatsApp.
• ✓ Paw and coat check we report cuts, limping, ticks or grass seeds immediately.
• ✓ Estate compliance biometric access, gate instructions and no-guest rules followed to the letter.

Dog walking rates and how they fit with pet sitting

Walks are R120 for 30 minutes and R170 for 60 minutes for a single dog, with R65 per additional dog from the same home. If you are away for the day, combined it with a mid-day drop-in visit instead the visit covers feeding, water, garden break and play for R130. All current rates, holiday surcharges and travel fees are listed on our Johannesburg pet sitting pricing page, so there are no surprises when you are invoiced. Dogs who need company overnight are better suited to our overnight pet sitting service.

Questions dog owners ask us most

Do you walk dogs in the rain? We walk in light rain, because most dogs need the outlet, and we dry paws before coming inside. In thunderstorms or hail we swap the walk for an indoor play and garden visit you are never charged for a walk we could not complete safely.

What happens during load shedding? Nothing changes for the walk itself. If your complex gate or lift needs power, your walker will collect your dog at the agreed alternative entrance, and we confirm the backup plan in writing before your first booking.

Can you walk a reactive or strong dog? Yes, with a meet-and-greet first. Tell us about triggers, muzzle requirements and equipment when you request a quote, and we will match you with an experienced walker rather than the closest one.

Do you do puppy visits? Yes. Puppies under six months usually do better with two shorter visits a day for toilet breaks, feeding and socialisation than one long walk, so we recommend that instead and say so honestly.

How do I start? Send your suburb, your dog's age, breed and routine, and the days you need through the contact form. We reply with availability, a written quote and a free meet-and-greet time – usually within a few hours.

The White-Glove Standard

For the families we serve in Steyn City, Waterfall, Dainfern, Blair Atholl and Sandton's most exclusive estates, exceptional care is never a transaction. It is a quiet, meticulous relationship built on discretion, continuity and absolute reliability.

Absolute discretion. Every engagement is bound by a signed privacy and confidentiality agreement. No social media, no location tags, no visitor disclosure, ever.

Household and estate liaison. We coordinate with your domestic staff, security and contractors: gate access, deliveries, vet runs and service providers, all logged and reported to you.

One dedicated sitter, start to finish. The same trusted professional meets you, learns your household and returns each time, so your dogs never re-adjust and their routine never resets.

A personal concierge line. Direct access to your care manager for last-minute changes, upgrades and travel-day coordination, backed by a daily private photo-and-video journal.

Tell us your suburb, your dog's routine and the days you need, and we will come back with availability, a written quote and a free meet-and-greet slot.
