Over the last couple of years, starting a new career as a dog walker has become very popular. Possibly stopping a career you’ve created somewhere else to commit your life to walking other’s dogs might sound daunting; however, there are a variety of benefits in doing so.

Working in this industry, by its very nature, you’ll be on your feet for most of the day. The majority of dog walkers provide services of 1 hour or 30-minute walks for their clients. Plus, if you manage to squeeze 4 (1-hour-long) walks into one day, you potentially could cover more than 70 miles per week if you worked 6 out of 7 days.

Regular walking is also great for your internal systems and organs. Walking for half an hour a day is excellent for getting your blood pumping and is fantastic for all things cardio-associated, from cholesterol to blood pressure. It’s also great for decreasing the risk of arthritis, diabetes, and additional diseases.
