How to Get 5-Star Reviews on Your Dog Walking Field
Reviews are the lifeblood of a dog field listing. A handful of glowing five-star reviews will do more for your bookings than any amount of marketing.
The Basics Have to Be Flawless
- ā The field is exactly as described
- ā Access works seamlessly every time
- ā The field is clean, mowed, and hazard-free
- ā Fresh water is available
- ā Poo bags and a bin are stocked
Small Touches That Get Mentioned in Reviews
- A welcome note ā a simple laminated sign costs nothing and creates warmth
- Treats in a jar ā a small jar of dog treats at the gate gets mentioned in reviews more than almost anything
- A dog wash station ā a hose for muddy dogs is practically guaranteed to generate mentions
- Agility equipment ā adds enormous perceived value
Ask for Reviews ā Politely
Most happy customers don't leave reviews unless prompted. A simple follow-up message after a booking can double your review count. One prompt, warmly worded, is enough.
Respond to Every Review
Responding to reviews signals you're an engaged, professional host. For positive reviews, a short thank you. For negative reviews, a calm response shows potential customers that you take quality seriously.
Fix Problems Fast
If a customer mentions an issue, fix it before the next booking. Customers who see a complaint taken seriously often become your most loyal reviewers.
