If you’re looking for gift ideas for dog walkers to show your appreciation for their hard work and dedication, here are some suggestions:
Personalised Water Bottle or Coffee Cup
A reusable water bottle with the dog walker’s name or a cute dog-themed design can be a thoughtful and practical gift for staying hydrated on long walks. Or a cute mug for hot drinks to warm up again after being outside for hours. Here are some ideas:
- Customisable ‘Best Dog Walker’ Ever Mug – where you can include a pic of your dog!
- Super Duper Dog Walker Mug
- Customisable Little Miss Dog Walker Mug | Personalised Mr Dog Walker Mug
- Personalised Dog Walker Travel with thermal lined stainless steel, with a plastic lid and handle.
- The Positive Mindset Cup Tumbler
Dog Walking Gear
Items such as a durable leash, a comfortable harness, or a stylish poop bag holder can be handy tools for dog walkers to use on their walks. Here are some ideas I really love:
- Leash Mitten for Dog Walking
- Voilà Treat Pouch – cleanable, wearable, sealable (code BULLYCO for a discount)
We are proud reps for the small business Perfect Paws Boutique and they sell super cute poop bag holders – with stylish matching other accessories and enrichment items. You can use our code BOSCHPUPS10 for 10% off.
A Tug-E-Nuff Tug Toy – a recall booster (we recommend the squeaky rabbit ones but love ALL OF THEIR TOYS!). Use our code BULLYCO for a discount of 10% on your first order.
You could also gift this amazing Dog Enrichment Card Deck by Calm Dog Games – great for fun ideas of games to play when out and about with your dog (also great to have one of these at hand at home).
One of my favourite shops for dog enrichment prep and dog walking gear is NoFussFill – created and run by a fellow dog mom and dog professional.

Comfortable Walking Shoes or a Foot massage or a Feet Pampering Set
Dog walkers spend a lot of time on their feet, so a pair of comfortable walking shoes can be a thoughtful gift to help keep their feet comfortable and supported. As this would be a pretty pricey gift though, maybe some cute socks (like these ones, where you can put your dogs face on them or these personalised Dog Walking Socks) and a feet pampering set?
Here are some ideas from Sweet William Designs London that I think are super cute and would make an amazing gift:
This Burt’s Bees Tips and Toes Papering Kit contains a Pomegranate Lip Balm, Almond Milk & Honey Hand Creams, Coconut Foot Cream, Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and Hand Salve. It’s super popular with over 85000 positive reviews on Amazon.
Dog-Themed Clothing or Accessories
A dog-themed T-shirt, hat, or socks can be a fun and playful gift for a dog walker who loves to show off their love for dogs. Here are some cute ideas I like:
- It Was Me I Let The Dogs Out Shirt
- It’s A Beautiful Day To Be A Dog Walker Sweatshirt
- Dog Life Winter Walking Dog Scarf
Gift Card to a Local Coffee Shop or Restaurant
Treat your dog walker to a cup of coffee or a meal at a local café or restaurant as a way to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Doggy Poop Bags
High-quality, eco-friendly poop bags are an essential item for dog walkers, so a bundle of these can be a practical and thoughtful gift.
There is obvs a LOT of poo to be picked up daily, so what about this Bundle of 270 Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags. They are also guaranteed leak proof (trust me, this is important for dog walkers as you won’t be able to always bin them right away and they have to carry them around for a while).
Gift Card for Dog Supplies
A gift card to a local pet store or an online retailer that sells dog supplies can allow the dog walker to pick out treats, toys, or other items for the dogs they walk.
Hand Cream or Hand Sanitiser
Dog walkers often deal with dirty hands from picking up after dogs, so a nourishing hand cream or a bottle of hand sanitiser can be a thoughtful gift to help keep their hands clean and moisturised.
Customised Home Decor
- Custom “Thank you for being the best Dog Walker” Candle – you can choose from different scents
- Dog Walker Wall Art Print
Personalised Thank You Note
A heartfelt thank you note expressing your appreciation for their hard work and dedication can be a meaningful and thoughtful gift for a dog walker.
Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Dog Walker
Remember, it’s the thought and appreciation behind the gift that counts the most. Consider the dog walker’s preferences and needs when selecting a gift, and always show your gratitude for their important role in caring for your furry friend.
