Walking dogs

Post by frizza »

Hey everyone, just want your opinions on something...

I have been home at my parents place for a week, and have been running with their dogs every day, so now I am back in melbourne, I figured I might put some flyers out to offer my services as a dog walker.

How much would you guys be prepared to pay someone to walk your dog? (please tell me your national currency so i can guesstimate the equivalent in aussie dollars)

thanks :)
Don't try! It's the first step towards failure!

How bout 25 cents an hour? LOL. I am cheap. LOL.

Maybe around 5 dollars an hour would be a good price I would say...of course you will get a lot more custimers if you do it for 25 cents :)

Well...If your having a dog walking service you better pay them to pick up the $h!t the dog leaves behind because today when I came home I just had stepped in dog crap with my 1 day old $70 shoes!!! Oh the evil.

Uhhh... Well, I'm talking Canadian $. But $70 US is still modest for sneakers here. Sneakers, on average cost about $100-$200 not including ones on sale, or ones that are obsurdly priced. I paid $109 for a pair of pumps (high heeled shoes) last week, and they were cheap.
