To be a great dog walker you must be responsible, dependable, punctual, strong, firm but kind, and physically able.
For this contract you would pick up the dogs at their homes, drive to a local park, walk the dogs for an hour (most will be off leash), and then bring them back home. The great parts of this job are being outside in nature, having short hours with good pay, being your own manager, and of course, getting lots of doggie love!
