Start your own Dog Walking or Sitting Business, live YOUR DREAM!

Do you love being around dogs and helping people? Do you enjoy the outdoors and have fun exploring new neighborhoods and parks?  If so, starting a career as a dog walker in Phoenix ,or a Arizona Pet sitter might be a win-win for you, and other families!  Both can be healthy, active, part time or full time jobs!

5 reasons to be a dog walker or petsitter:

1. Dog Walking and Pet sitter Entrepreneurs get to make their own hours, create their own routine, choose the people they work with, and set pay rates for the service they offer.
2. It is a very diverse and ever changing job. The days are as varied as the weather, the dogs, the people, and the activities you choose. Green grass one day, a country road the next, and a steep mountain trail may all be part of the changing scenery.
3. You don’t need to deal with office politics or crazy coworkers. Some of your best friends don’t verbalize in words! They bark, whine, grumble, chatter, squeal, and snort, but you get the information anyway. These furry friends speak the language of dog speak. Talking is optional. Hand gestures apply.

A gentle tug, a flick of the lead, a click, or a sigh can suffice some days. Your customers, the pups, get it! You are a team, and they are active participants. No water cooler politics or politically correct posturing is necessary!

4. Your business attire is all up to your personal taste! No uniform code required, no expensive accessories or jewelry required. You may need a treat pouch, sunglasses, and a good pair of sneakers or trail shoes. The colors of your true personality can shine through each and every day. You can be comfortable and relaxed, or high tech and streamlined.
5. You set the pace of your day. You speak, or not, according to how you feel. The polite way to successfully communicating with canine companions has a greater variety of acceptable options.

Why walk your dog every day?    The benefits of walking your dog or dogs every day is an activity that will pay off for both your pet and you. Many people have stressful jobs, and practicing a mindful behavior like walking, getting fresh air, and participating in the beauty of nature is really an excellent way for both of you to start the day.

How you benefit:

If you live in a city, you get to stroll down the block and see the latest shops and restaurants that have moved into the neighborhood. You get to greet familiar faces and other canine buddies, and check out the social scene at the park or square near your apartment. I never enjoyed the walk down from my third floor walkup in Philadelphia, but I sure did love the smell of autumn leaves, and rainy drizzle, and street food smells from the local bakery or coffee shop. I loved watching people move in and out, and the rhythms of everyday life with deliveries and dry cleaners, and gym windows. My dog even came to work with me, in the heart of the downtown upscale shopping area.

Now, living in Phoenix, nature is all around us. Our dogs can hike on mountain trails, neighborhood paths, landscaped common areas, and sunrise and sunsets are amazing to see with your pet.

How your dogs benefit:

Many dogs have spacious backyards and trees and pools, but it is not the same as going for a walk or run with their people! Dogs love adventure, new scenery, great smells, funky smells, new people, kids, and munching grass. It is good to have them being socially acclimated to activity, children, skateboards, bikes, horses, and other pets!

It makes for better companions and a walk, jog, or run with your dog is a sure way to get some exercise for both of you. Dogs open every day with pure joy. This feeling can be contagious and one I highly recommend for a positive outlook. Part of the reason I expanded the dog training gym and facility, AZ Dog Sports, is because of my love of dogs and to be able to offer higher quality licensed dog walking, dog sitting service and board and train. I know how much my dogs and I love each other so wanted others to experience it!

Make sure you have great dog walking gear that is sturdy, safe, and comfortable for your pooch. Always have ID and license along and a collar, leash, and waste bags. Remember your own keys and even treats for your dog and get out and start the day right!
