This chapter examines the evolving landscape of professional dog walking, particularly in Argentina, where a high rate of dog ownership fuels demand for services. It highlights the industry's growth post-pandemic, the importance of training and social media for success, and the challenges of pricing in a competitive market.
We explore professional dog-walking around the world. We hear from walkers from the United States, Argentina and Europe about how they operate, the growing market, and the challenges of making a career from taking other people's pets on daily walks - sometimes several at a time.
And we join a dog walker in Paris, Caroline, to find out why the relationship between walker and dog is the most important when securing clients.
Expect plenty of barks.
