Day in the Life of a Dog Walker | NYC

[@chrisd9012]

Thank you for the advice. I'm considering leaving corporate America to do this. And yes i love dogs. Had 3 up till 4 months ago. Now have 2 pups that i love more than life itself.

[@Aspen-w3z]

Hi! I'm ten years old which I know sounds young to be a dog walker but I walk 8 dogs a day n my neighborhood. And all of the dogs are super happy going on walks.

[@lessonswithlori4131]

Nice video! All your dogs are so lucky to have you. I’ve been with her on several of her work days. I can hardly keep up and sometimes I have to sit out a walk at the coffee shop. It is exhausting. You’re such a hard worker.

[@veronikakirshoff4308]

What a cool job! They all look so sweet 🥹

[@jennifersnuffleupagus249]

This was handy and insightful. Nostalgic for this former NYC dogwalker

[@shelbychristopher4473]

Thank you for watching! Aww I love that 😊

[@ramonagonzalez1836]

Oh my goodness, so cute! I would love this

[@itsjosephhenry]

Cutest dogs!!

[@rachel2610]

You must be so in shape from all the walking!

[@shelbychristopher4473]

I definitely get my daily workout in! Lol

[@MyMiniZoo]

Great video! Loved it! All the dogs are so cute 🥰 also the quality is super good! 🧡 looks like the dogs love you! 💖

[@CDHpetcare]

the most stressful part about being a dog walker in Fort Worth is not getting customers. So many people asking for help with their pets, but none are hiring. so frustrating.

[@PiggieTime]

What app do you use for dog walking? Sounds interesting!

[@HippieLife23-cu4zr]

Love it and live the natural feeling of the vids,new subber 🌷🌿

[@CDHpetcare]

so are you including the pickup/dropoff time in the walks? or from the time you get to the destination and start the walk?

[@josephhenry9550]

Loveee

[@eooey]

What app do you use?

[@itsjosephhenry]

Such a hard worker!

[@bluecollarmenproductions]

It’s so fun however New York City you can do it full time

[@shelbychristopher4473]

You definitely can! I actually have my own dog walking business now :)

[@peacetoallx]

hi from australia i wonder how many steps you walk in your dog walking job

[@alvarot3746]

How much, you earn per walk?

[@jada3858]

I’m looking to be a dog walker for my neighborhood, do you have a key to their house and you walk in get the dog and lock up? I’m confused on the logistics lol

[@shelbychristopher4473]

For a lot of my clients I have keys that they have given me since they’re usually not home. Other clients have lockboxes outside with a code and I put the keys back when I’m done :) I usually ask them what they prefer to do.

[@apdroidgeek1737]

I love dogs and im willing to pick up dogs shit and take care for them but i never have experience for taking care of dogs because they never let me have a dog growing up, will i be able to still get hired?

[@shelbychristopher4473]

If you truly have a love for animals you can always look for dog walking jobs on Indeed. If they’re looking for someone with experience, a good place to start might be volunteering at a shelter :)

[@Fatem-o3s]

hey what company is hiring you

[@shelbychristopher4473]

It was a small company in Brooklyn. Definitely check out Indeed! That’s where I found them

[@steveossim2822]

Is it always just one dog at a time?

[@shelbychristopher4473]

I have my own business now, so I walk two at a time for some walks, but the most I’ll do is three at a time

[@all4fthomas]

❤

[@JodieBerdiales-g4q]

I never let the dogs I walk come in contact with another dog. It’s not worth the risk. I also need to be hands free in case of a threat so my leash clips around my waist like a belt and my phone is on a lanyard. Sprays are kept in a Fanny pack and ready to go if needed.

[@shelbychristopher4473]

That’s good stuff! I keep my things in a fanny pack as well. It’s rare my dogs say hi to other dogs. You never know what could happen

[@mahibhartia]

how do you land these jobs?

[@shelbychristopher4473]

I went on indeed and searched for dog walking jobs. A company actually hired me :)

[@heymom.whatsfordinner]

How many steps do you get in a day??!! My FitBit would explode! Such a cute video! Nice work!

[@hsiaomingwei1002]

How much do you make per day?

[@shelbychristopher4473]

When I was with the company I previously worked for (during the time of this video) I was paid hourly. So I got $15 per hour and most days was 6hrs of work, Mon-Fri. Not great money but I was also a part time employee.

[@HippieLife23-cu4zr]

I love the freedom you have
