Saving Money Tips
If you like dogs and have the time to spare, why not set up a dog walking business. With more and more families having to work full-time, there is a growing need for caring dog walkers to look after the family dog during working hours.
If you do decide to do dog walking then get a CRB ( Criminal Records Bureau ) Certificate, and show it to any prospective clients. Remember also to get insurance cover for any dogs you walk.
So how much could you expect to make dog walking? You could charge about £5 per hour.
Advertise by sending out flyers in your local area. Or advertise you services on the web, using google adwords for instance. You will obtain a lot of business by word of mouth. You could also try contacting the local dog kennels to provide cover when their dog walkers are unavailable.
So if you really like dogs and also like walking, this could be the business for you.
