What do you love most about your job?
A lot of people around me used to think that being a dog walker is the best job ever. You can walk far from other people, your office is an open space and you can just walk and think about nothing. sounds great, I know. But imagine this as a ours of walking...day by day.,.. raining is a routine weather and windy as well. Not so good right? And then imagine of sense of this! You have to give dogs best care, and make them feel safe and sound also happy and remember, dogs are so much different from each other, so it's even harder to create a time best for everyone. Whilst one of them loves any kind of weather another one scared of wind or maybe even rain. You have to think about they needs .Sometimes dogs can be injured during walk. It's important to know what to do.
There is a lot of issue around walking dogs in a group. You have to love it! All this mess around. You need to be prepare for any kind of weather, any other difficulties around dogs. Sometimes you need to feel like one of them. You have to be their friends and guard too. All I wanted to say is If you not ready for this you can't be a good dog walker.
Me, a dog walker. I still doing this , I love it! :)
What inspired you to start your own business?
Before I start my own business I worked as a volunteer for few long years in a rescue organisation. I was looking after homeless dogs and cats, I was trying to find for them best new home. And I did. It was something what I loved in my life the most. Working with dogs. After few years of this I thought that will be good idea to change my passion into a daily work. So i came to London and start being a dog walker. This is the shortest story about this :)
