Dog Walker Position

• Driving between client homes your car is your office
• Walking 1015 miles a day in all weather conditions
• Showing up consistently even when the weather is miserable
• Working independently no one is looking over your shoulder during the day
• Being accountable to human clients first their homes, schedules, and expectations come first

That's the cakeabout 95% of the job: walking in the rain, picking up poop, getting splashed while drying off, driving on snowy roads. The frosting is cuddling the dog after everything else is doneabout 5%.
