Survive the Economy--Walking Dogs




People love their pets. Dogs are a part of many families. Most people think of their dog as a true family member that they love unconditionally. People spend a fortune on their dogs especially with vet bills all of the way down to dog clothing.


One thing many families do is work and the children are off to school for the day. Who is there to entertain the dog? No one. The dog sits bored and waits for their owner(s) to come back home.


Here is where you come in. You can offer to walk neighborhood dogs for money. You can offer to walk a dog for $10.00 per thirty minutes. Just think if you walk three dogs in thirty minutes you have made $30.00. You will have to make sure the three dogs get along well before walking them together. If you have another three dogs to walk for thirty more minutes, you have now increased to $60.00 per day.


If a family has two dogs you may want to offer a deal of thirty minutes for $15.00 for two dogs. You may want to be flexible and walk dogs three times per week for people who cannot afford to pay you every day.


Make up a catchy business name. On your flier show how much family members love their dog and how happy (and healthy) they will be making their dog with a thirty minute walk per day.

Hand out fliers in your town or city paper boxes. (Do not put your fliers in mailboxes as that is a federal offense.) Hang fliers up in your town or city at all local businesses that allow you to. Advertise in your small local newspaper.


People are paying big bucks these days putting their dog in Doggy Daycare. You walking their dog for $10.00 per thirty minutes is a steal. People will feel good knowing their dog is getting a good walk in and some company for a part of their day while they wait for their master to come home. Since no one will be home, you will have to set up with the owner ahead of time to get a house key or have them hide the key for you.


You can enjoy being with man’s best friend, make money and get your daily exercise in. For more information please visit: http://www.preparednessmentor.com/.
