Dog Walking, Pet Sitting Services Los Angeles, Ventura County

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 10, 2010 -- Looking for a job with no dress code, no cubicle and no office politics? One that, despite a tough economy, still has a lot of pup? The clientele can be a handful, but it's nothing a few treats and a long walk can't satisfy.

Its 8 a.m. in downtown Los Angeles and Carrie Landen is ready for work, but she's forgotten her newspapers. For Landen, those newspapers serve different purposes.

She's in the dog-walking business, and his first client of the day is a small Chihuahua named Tink who is about to take care of her own business.

"A lot of dog walkers invest in the blue poop bags, but I try to use an L.A. TIMES when I can," Landen says. "— I can go through, like, 100 bags a day."

Landen owns and works for a company called Advantage Dogs based in Cincinnati, Ohio, and now situated in Thousand Oaks, California. It's not the glamorous way start to a day, but in this economy, poop pays well.
A 2004 issue of the New York Daily News asked people how much they made. A dog walker named Sammy Swale reported $50,000. Another reader replied, "The dog walker is lying, we make much more than that!"

Even so, walking five dogs at a combined weight of 350 pounds can be a little tricky. But what makes dog walking truly challenging is that you have to be good with both dogs and people.
"I have clients where their kids call me Aunt Carrie," Landen says.

The people at Advantage Dogs won't call dog-walking recession-proof. But it certainly will never require a government bailout or a stimulus package. Unlike the banking industry, dog walkers can always count on a high rate of deposit (Holtzman, 2009.)
