Free Business Plan Tips

Dog Walking?

I am planning on starting a dog walking business this summer. I am planning on putting up flyers and business cards and offering two free walks for ‘signing up’, and maybe a dog washing.
I was wondering if you have any tips. I am worried about other dogs while walking, and not getting along with clients dogs. What about washing a dog any tips? And how much should I charge I am in the south west US. What do you do as a dog walker, or look for in a dog walker? Do you have any cute bussiness name ideas? Thanks!

You might also consider babysitting neighborhood dogs if owners go on vacation. I’m with the Goldengal though, don’t get into dog washing or grooming. Call local boarding kennels and ask what they charge to board dogs. I have neighbor kids come in and take care of my dogs while I’m gone. I pay $50 a day.
