From idea to first paying client
- Plan your business: define your radius, capacity, schedule, prices and startup costs.
- Get ready to work: check local requirements and insurance, prepare your equipment and set clear client expectations.
- Find and welcome clients: start local marketing, screen enquiries, run a trial walk and build a suitable group of dogs.
Built from 10 years of dog walking experience
This system draws on the decisions that mattered in my own business: keeping travel tight, setting a sustainable number of walks, meeting dogs properly and dealing with the realities of weather, vehicles and client expectations.
You can see the dog walking business behind this guide at Lothian Walkies.
It is designed for someone starting out or still testing whether dog walking could become a business. You can adapt the worksheets to your area and circumstances.
