Make a job taking a dog for walks and jogs?

Question

I don't really like any jobs that are out. But i love dogs. And i was thinking maybe i could take dogs for walks and jogs? I don't mind jogging. In fact i wish i could run everyday of my life. I LOVE to run. And so i think it would be a really good combination since dogs need excersise too right? I was thinking of maybe a 20 minute walk or jog (that can be adjusted) for monday-friday and about like maybe $6-8 a week. Is that a good price? I know people say that would make people not take you seriously or something because you're not charging enough, but i just know like with jobs and money and stuff, people might be cutting back on what they're doing and so just want to make it an adjusted price to how much things are costing these days.

do you think this would work? i want to do it really much

Answer 1

My mom does that and makes really good money. A lot of rich people like that kind of stuff. People who work worry about their dogs being lock inside all day and what my mom does is lets them out, feeds them, gives them fresh water and when its nice out she walks them. You might want to increase your price if your going to do that, you would be surprised how many clients you would get and how much their willing to pay.  

Answer 2

Are you willing to take responsibility for someone else's dog if a stray attacks?  If you drop the leash or the dog jerks loose and gets struck by a car, what then?  Not trying to deter you from making money, just trying to give you example of the responsibilities involved.

Answer 3

I think you have a good idea with your dog walking business, but you should probably charge for each day, you could charge something like $2 to $3 dollars each dog.
