How to Run a Successful Dog Walking & Pet Care Business

Dreaming of turning your love of dogs into a business? 🐾

Wondering what to charge, what insurance you need, or how on earth you find your first clients?

At Houlton Hounds we started on 31 October 2021 with two dogs from one house. Five years on, we're a team of 8 dog walkers near Rugby looking after more than 200 clients. This friendly 73-page guide shares everything we've learned along the way, the good bits and the "wish we'd known that" bits!

Inside you'll find:

• Is it right for you, and how much time do you really have?
• Money basics: costs, prices and what you'll actually earn
• Legal and safety essentials, including insurance and local rules
• Your systems, from the first meet and greet to the first paid walk
• Getting clients, growing safely, plus a 30-day action plan and checklists

Written for the UK, by people who walk dogs every single day.

We hope it helps you take that first step, and have loads of fun doing it! xx
