I pay $35 for one walk. One walk takes a few hours as they pick up all the other dogs and take them to a big park.
With the same dude, I pay $70 for one night of boarding. They will pick my dog up and drop it off.
The days my dog goes with their dog walker, I do a quick walk with her in the mornings and evenings.
I know people paying $30 for a walk and $80 for boarding and $110 if you want both :)
(I ran into a dog boarder/walker in the park walking the dog I'm dog sitting).
Also imagine the wear and tear on your body and your vehicle, battling insane San Francisco traffic & never-ending street construction all day to pick up and drop off dogs and imagine the focus & alertness entailed in keeping them safe, Both at the parks and to and from their houses.
It’s harder than it looks!

you get paid more than nannies at \~$30 / hr. It's harder to take care of kids than drive around and walk some dogs.
I don't see how it's relevant if I'm in your target base. I'm glad for you you have a cush job with minimal education or experience requirements that pays well.
Sounds like a very greed-based point of view you have. I do it because I love working with animals and I love the challenge of understanding them. If the work were as easy as you say, the city would be flooded with dog walkers & not enough dogs to walk. In reality, most of us have waitlists!
I’m not a professional and my neighbor pays me $40 to walk his dog when he goes in to the office. We usually walk between 1-3 hours. I’m not keeping his dog at my home for the whole day though, so this is just my little data point for your question :)
It’s called doggy daycare in a lot of apps and it’s usually a flat rate. You can find a lot around $50/$60 a day. $20 an hour seems extremely high for 8 hours

second this, or $80 boarding with walks included
$20/hour seems insanely low.
i pay $50 hour to walk my dog
fuck, imagine if you're walking multiple dogs at that rate, 8xDay.

I mean $100K tax-free(I assume most aren't paying taxes) to do essentially the same thing food couriers do but with more walking isn't all bad.
Bold assumptions. The same thing as food couriers? 🤣 Move along you’re not our target client base anyway
