Having a bad day? Need to just stop being around people? Well, there’s no one better to turn to than dogs! Walking dogs is honestly the best job for so many reasons.
Honestly, if I am having a bad day, walking into an apartment and see a happy dog run up to me so excited to see me, it makes me forget about the awful day I’m having, and I’m a little less annoyed after!
Like I just mentioned, they are honestly so happy to see you, which makes you feel actually appreciated and cared about for once, in this busy cold world. Being able to take a break and just play with some dogs in the afternoon is also a great stress reliever.
Escaping reality, even if it is just for a half hour or an hour a day, is so nice. Especially when there are a million things going on in your life, it’s a good little break.
It’s not a chore, but more of a therapy session! To just have a reason to relax in the middle of the afternoon or early evening is amazing, especially as we all get older and busier with our lives. Who wouldn’t enjoy spending time with a bunch of silly dogs?
When people think of dog walking, they often picture a bunch of dogs tangled and running in different directions, but it’s not bad, even if you do have so many! Most dogs are excited to be outside, but most listen and know they’ll get a treat after if they’re good!
It’s not only the best job, but also one of the most fun jobs, because your boss is basically the dog. Not dealing with humans and working is nicer than you’d think, but the humans are generous enough to pay a decent amount to walk their dog.
Every day isn’t always sunny, so literally the rain can be a damper, but it’s still worth it. The amount of good days definitely outweighs the bad.
So for as long as I can, I’m going to hold onto my dog walking jobs. And I suggest if you can find a job dog walking, even if it’s just one dog, you go for it. It’ll add a little more happiness to your days.
