I was a dog walker in Vancouver for a year before I became a dog trainer and then a dog training business owner. I often miss the walking days!

I walked 3-4 days a week, usually for around 5 hours a day. It was physically demanding, with a route of up to 30km on longer days! I lost a lot of weight rapidly when I began. On bad days, you’d be drenched in sleet or winter rain with four badly behaved dogs pulling you every which way. On good days, you’d be at a dog beach on a perfect spring morning, watching your favorite Aussie flying around to fetch a ball before leaping back to you, slobbering all over your face. I developed a love of walking, and would often walk long distances to get to appointments even on my days off. My mental health improved, as did my strength.

Dog Walkers

The primary responsibility of a dog walker is to walk dogs. They will have different clients who have varying needs. Some clients may work full time and need a dog walker five days a week, and others might need a dog walker temporarily while they are out of town. Dog walkers need to have excellent time-management skills to schedule their clients throughout the day and arrive on time.
