There are over 15,273 dog walkers currently employed in the United States. 70.8% of all dog walkers are women, while 29.2% are men. The average age of an employed dog walker is 32 years old. Decide if you want to be a full-time dog walker or restrict it to a part-time gig. Your decision is going to impact how many dogs you end up walking in the long run. Not just your income, but the time it takes to build reputation as a dog walker also depends on this decision.
You will need strong interpersonal and communication skills, and be willing to work outdoors regardless of the weather. In addition to this, an affinity with, and understanding of dogs is essential. It is important to be patient; it can take a while to build up a good client base.
