This chapter explores the increasing need for dog-walking services in cities where owners struggle to give their pets sufficient outdoor time. It emphasizes the crucial trust between dog owners and walkers, underlining the responsibilities involved in caring for dogs during walks.
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.
