It’s not as easy as it looks.

There's a limit to the number of dogs we can walk at a time.

Exactly how many depends on laws in the local area. Walking one dog can be blissful, but walking more than that can be pretty chaotic.

Our rotas are erratic and complicated.

The hours we work depend entirely on our clients' schedules and most dog owners have a particular preference for where their dog is walked. This means we're frequently travelling to get to our next appointment.

But yes, sometimes we can lose a dog.

Usually because they're chasing a squirrel or have found an interesting flower. In most cases they'll just wander back to us like it's no big deal, but occasionally they'll just decide they've had enough and will make their own way home.
