Generally around 7.30am
Every day changes, depending on the time of year. But we do have regular dog walks throughout the week.
I send out a text at the end of the month; asking how client’s months have gone and then I ask what dates they would like to have their dogs walked. So that I can write everyone for a month in advance.
Some clients ask for set times, but our busiest times are between 11:30 – 2:30 – so we try to work everyone in for these times.
Make sure the dogs are happy on the walks and make sure they really enjoy themselves. I also like to send a message to the owners to let them know how their pooches have gotten on.
If the day is a busy one, we stay for the allotted times; 30 mins, 45 mins or an hour. However, we can stay longer if we don’t have to get to another job for a while.
I do, I like to send pictures and even videos.
This is extremely hard! I fall for animals as soon as I see them. So when a pet moves, no longer needs the services or sadly dies – We share the pain with our clients.
Some of our clients have older dogs and longer work days, so we can do morning and afternoon walks – to make sure they have some company and can go to the toilet.
For the times they ask us. Some days we can go out at 9am and not be home until 5pm.
You build up some strength in this job, either with the walks themselves, running around or even when the dogs are excited to get to the park and pull you!
One of my top priorities is time management. This is why I ask for the dates in advance; so I can would out the travel time between each jobs I have in a day.
Around 3pm.
Meeting and forming a strong bond with the animals and clients we meet.
