Not always. Many students will make money by walking someones dog and I have, in the past walked dogs from the SPCA or have done so for friends when they are away at work. I work from home so I can come in handy for friends. LOL Advertise in a free newspaper but be sure you put in the ad the areas you are willing to go too to. Don't get work across town where it will cost you to get there because it will cut into your earnings. You could also ask your local vet if you could leave a notice on their info board in the office. They could also tell you what the standard rate for dog walking is. Put ads up on telephone poles. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS! A phone # is good enough. If you are 18 and older and responsible there is good money in house/pet sitting when people are on holidays. This is just as big a responsibility as looking after someone elses children so be prepared.

∙ 14y agoI dont think you necessarily need insurance for dog walking. I think in general you want to have insurance on yourself. And also for the dog, it might be a good idea to tell the owner to get some pet insurance on the dog. Just for those, just in case situations!

Do you need insurance for a dog walking business?
You FOR SURE need insurance for dog walking and or sitting businesses, but many operators of these businesses don't purchase it because it isn't cheap. Dog walkers FREQUENTLY have dogs that bite people, other dogs, or cause property damage, so it is a really bad idea not to have the insurance coverage.

What insurance do you need for a home-based dog walking service?
You need liability insurance for buisneses because you need something in case someone falls or slips or if something happens to the animals you need something to cover you in case of emergencies so you don't get sued. Research liability insurance for buisnesses and maybe get a few quotes from places and go with what you can afford to pay annually. * It would seem that a dog walking service would be conducted outside of the person's residence unless the person is also going to board animals. If that is the case, the person would first have to find out what municipal ordinances apply and obtain the required license/permit before they could apply for insurance coverage.
