Ratreeper 441 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I can't find a job where I can earn enough money and still have time for dogs. I would consider doing any job where you can take a dog to work, but I haven't got many ideas. I would love to just be a dog walker but I am not sure I can make a living from it. Do you any of you have dog friendly jobs? or if not then how do you have time for dogs? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scalesntails 118 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I know one of my local dog walkers charges £10 an hour. Doesn't sound much but she normally has 5 or 6 dogs at a time when she's out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooch. 177 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm an estate gardener and I take my dog to work with me everyday. I actually asked my boss if it would be ok before I got the dog. He's got a bed in the mess room for when I'm doing jobs where he can't be with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratreeper 441 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I forgot I made this thread, thanks for the replies. I am not out of work, but I leave at 7:30am and get home anything between 6:30-7pm which is a long day for me, nevermind a dog shut in doors/kenneled. It just wouldn't be fair on it. I need to sort my financials out for a while and I will hopefully give dog walking a go. I just need to save enough to cover bills for the first couple of months while I start out I think.

I would imagine most people tend to want their dogs taken out midday though so I doubt you could work a full day. But if you can get enough dog-friendly dogs walking together at a time then you might make a living working 2 hours a day. Seems too good to be true really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
