The number of dogs being adopted has increased dramatically during the covid lockdowns with millions rushing out to buy puppies. According to Statista in the UK 3.5 million dogs were bought during the covid pandemic, bringing the country's dog population up from nine million in 2019/20 to 12.5 million in 2020/21.
With people working from home during the pandemic, professional dog walkers were not required. But now with lockdowns over and more people returning to work the demand for dog walkers has soared.
In response to this opportunity, award-winning businesswoman and owner of leading pet brand Ruffle Snuffle®, Sarah-Jane White, has released a new book “How to start a successful Dog Walking Business in 10 Easy Steps”. The first in her 'Walk the Walk' series.
Combining decades of experience in business, marketing, and running her own award-winning brand of enrichment products, Sarah-Jane has put together her step-by-step system which shows you exactly how to start a successful dog walking business from scratch without any prior experience.
The book covers:
- How to quickly get up and running
- What UK rules and regulations you’ll need to follow
- What paperwork you need (with free samples)
- How much to charge to make a profit
- Plus bonus chapter on how to market your business for FREE
“Reliable dog walkers are always in demand. But to succeed in this competitive marketplace, you'll need more than just dog knowledge; you'll also need some business acumen.” says White.
“If you're considering starting your own dog walking business, this book is for you. In it, I'll teach you everything you need to know to get started, from finding clients and setting rates to creating a marketing strategy and managing your finances.
