FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing can be a bit complicated. 20-30 min walk for one large dog or two small dogs - $10 per visit. (add $5 per extra dog) 45-60 min walk " " " - $15 per visit. (add $5 per extra dog) 1 hr - 48 hr {around the clock} sitting - $25 (add $25 per day after that) "Check in" sitting - $10 per visit needed (If longer than 10 days we will work out a deal)
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been an animal lover and I have been known to foster animals and get them into forever homes as a hobby. Then I lost my job at the call center I was working at and I hadn't been able to find an enjoyable job until a friend asked if I would like to start dog walking with her since she is disabled. The animal contact helps her and I love it too. She didn't want any profit out of it, just the enjoyment of being there so I turned it into my own self employment instead of working doing something that I hate and can't schedule myself.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I do a lot of dog walking and leash training (I have developed a treat system that works like a charm!). I also sit for many lengths of time and for different animals and reasons. The most common sitting job I have had is for over the weekends.
