As far a being a dog walker. Is this going to someones house or is this walking the dogs you are boarding/day care in your own home?

Being a dog walker means going to the client's home, picking up the dog, walking it and returning it to the home. Boarding is an all-inclusive service, in that daily walks, feeding, playing, etc., are all included in the nightly charge. I'm sure people handle daycare in a variety of ways and it may not involve formal walks but access to a potty area. However, as an independent contractor, you can do whatever you want. Just be aware that, if someone contacts you for dog walking, they are generally expecting you to come to their home and take their dog out for a 30-minute walk.
