Hi guys,
As you can see, I've been wondering for quite a while now if it's okay for me to get a small job in taking care or even walking people's dogs.
I know a lot of people look for jobs similarly but I feel that my case is different. First of all, I adore dogs to a completely new level. I feel that money isn't important and my goal isn't to start an overpriced business just to earn a some extra pocket money. I honestly could spend HOURS sincerely looking after your dog without earning a single penny, because it feels more like a privilege than a job. I am pretty young ( almost 15) but I feel up to this job and I know it will be difficult to earn people's trust. The real reason that I'm looking for a job and working hard for this is because I am saving money to get a puppy of my own . For at least 5 years I have been begging my family for a dog. Though I don't have my own dog , I do have experience with other dogs who have shown at least some progress with a few training skills I learned. This isn't a phase for me and I haven't taken this lightheartedly. However, if despite my efforts, I don't earn nearly enough money to support my own dog, it will go to charity.
I really have done immense research on dogs: training methods, suitable breeds for me, nutritional information, expenses, how to stop excessive barking, chewing, aggression, leash pulling, and so on. I feel I have a lot of knowledge which is why I feel I'm up for a job. I definitely feel like I can help in training puppies or young dogs with behaviour issues.
Another pro is that I attend a boarding school so my holidays can last for 2 months on stretch. If people are worried about what will happen if their dogs get injured whilst on a walk and I can't transport them to the vets, I am also happy to dog sit in their house or possibly mine. Or, I can pre plan a safe route where I have close access to all available veterinary services beforehand. If this is also unreliable, I can always be assisted by one of my parents need be.
I know I may have missed a few details but I hope that I can get some advice on whether I can do this or not! I also hope that if I manage to get a dog sitting job, this will prepare me more for my own dog ! :Happy Thank you so much for reading this and I look forward to seeing your opinions about my goal...
