dog walking business?

Hey guys, me and my friend want to start a dog walking business to save for horse camp this year. We’re 13 and I have plenty of experience WORKING (not volunteering) at the local animal shelter. Any ideas on how to start up a small business? what do people look for when hiring a dog walker? Thanks

Well, I’m 14, I don’t walk dogs.. but I DO pet-sit. I have been for several years now, and I love it. People look for responsebility. How I started Pet-sitting was, I made flyers that said my experience, different animals I would pet-sit (which in my case is all), and I would put my first name and phone number. I put the flyers in a lot of peoples neighborhoods around me. That has worked REALLY well for more.

Even though I didn’t really give you advice for dog WALKING.. I hope I helped in some way. Good luck for you and your friend!! :)
