My friends and family have always turned to me for dog sitting. I'm like the go to guy for some reason but I dig it. Get paid to hang with a dog? Uh yeah! I'm genuine and personable and I'm a total animal person. My girlfriend and I don't have a dog because we have always said we need a yard first. But we have a cat, and he's quite the personality lol and a fish who is also quite the personality. Maybe I'm a softy :-) Recently, I've started exploring the possibility of earning money to go on a jog or walk. I used to jog with my dog as a kid and understand the responsibility involved with following the rules of the road in order to ensure my and my pooches safety. Other things that should be considered are asphalt temp, surface texture and the dogs well being. Some dogs aren't runners and others need to be watched to judge whether they are comfortable with the situation or not. I'm confident I can manage your loved one with grace and professionalism, knowledge and care.
