I'm thinking of doing my own little business of dog walking, but the thing is that I have no experience, but does me having 3 dogs in my life count?
I was thinking I can leave my info on craigslist, but I don't know if I'm going to get reply's
because of that.
If so give me some ideas on how much I should charge for each dog, or should I charge for each hour? I have no clue.
Someone told me that I should do this now before spring comes, because peoples don't have time to walk their dogs with the holidays and the coldness coming our way.
give me some tips please!

I worked for a pet sitting business. and one of the jobs was to walk the dogs. or take care of the cats while people were out. Just an FYI in my case.. the company I worked for was bonded. so I had to be bonded- basically it's a very thorough background check- because you would have to go into peoples houses and they want to make sure people aren't thieves etc...
so you might want to look into that too if you are serious.

Well me and my mom work in cleaning houses, and of course...we have to go in houses and clean...but do we get bonded....no.
my mom has been doing that for 20 years now...and no one has asked for a background check up.
