Don't get me wrong, being a dog walker isn't always sunshine and puppy kisses. The admin never stops. It often feels like we're on call 24/7, the rain brings its issues, and the sun stops us in our tracks. Why is there always so much traffic on the roads! Diary planning and adjusting that goes on well into the night. The never-ending inbox of queries. The slobber, the scratches, the odd nip, the whole body jerks when a squirrel runs across the path.
And yet, for those hour long slots of walking your dogs, it's all so worth it. The stress of the day seems to pause. Life almost goes into slow motion, grounding you and allowing you to breathe... until life speeds up again and you're rushing off to your next one 🧡
