Got any tips for starting a dog walking business?

Okay, in the words of Steve Martin, first get a dog. Kidding. You need liability insurance for your business. Check in your state to see if it’s subject to sales tax. And keep good records.

Same “source” as for your other question.

Can you control the dogs you are walking? Not only do you have to consider whether the dog in your care is injured, you must also consider your dog hurting another. If you are to enter the house of a client while they are not home, you should be bonded. As I said in the other question, if you do not have experience in dog handling/obedience training, you might want to do that before you take on walking a half dozen big dogs at the same time.

Set up flyers around your neighborhood with your name, experiences, and phone number. Then, all you have to do is wait! Or perhaps your neighbor has a dog. Maybe try asking them?
