[/quote]Well its like a well oiled machine…most of the time. We are lucky enough to have the majority of dogs quite close to each other and theres 3 of us so everyone gets dropped off at destinations. The duration of the walks vary too so it fits around that. Or with some dogs, like 2 of our labs who live in the same street the owners want them walked together as they’re great friends.
As im the only driver at the minute,i tend to do drop offs or other visits while the other girls are walking.
And consultations, most people want them scheduled after work or on the weekend, and since we work all hours, we can do it! 🙂
June 24, 2008 at 10:07 pm #108173SuzAndTheDivaMemberSounds like it works really well – amazing what you can fit in in one day!! 😉 How long before one of the others is driving then ;D
June 25, 2008 at 7:35 am #108174AnonymousGuestphew !
that sounds a long and busy day but i bet it is very rewarding 🙂
did all the other girls used to work with you at the creche ? i bet its 100 times better now 🙂
i just cannot believe how much my own dog walkers business is growing. in about 18mths she’s gone from walking dogs herself to having about 10 people working for her and is still fully booked on some days !! and … there are quite a few other businesses offering similar things in the area too!
