I would, if I had a dog . Not just any random person, of course, that's just common sense. But anyone I knew who is a dog lover or has/had dogs or knows lots about them I would trust. I think I would let them walk the dog with me there first to see how they get on, if they did OK, then I'd let them. When you're busy, it would be helpful to have someone to walk the dog I do dog walking sometimes and the owners are usually very grateful, so it's good for dog, owner and walker.
