Experience
Dog Walking Business Owner - Self employed
(2026-04)
Started my own dog walking business when I felt like I couldn't fit in with the current work place and with this for my strengths I am providing personalized care and attention to each dog I work with. By establishing strong connections with both the dogs and their owners, I ensure that every pet receives tailored services that meet their unique needs. My self-sustainable business model allows me to create my own schedule and build lasting relationships with my clients by visiting their homes and maintaining a consistent routine
