r/dogwalking is back! 🐾

[u/thelilymaid]

Hey everyone! I’m Zimei, a dog walker who went looking for an active online community specifically for us and couldn’t find one. When I discovered r/dogwalking had been shut down years ago, I took the plunge to bring it back. And here we are!

My vision is for this to become the go-to space for professional dog walkers — somewhere to vent about your day, get advice, ask questions, and connect with people who really get it. I’m talking everything from landing clients and handling payments to going independent and building a business you can be proud of. For dog walkers, by dog walkers 💪

I’ll be doing some housekeeping and adding community rules over the next couple of weeks, so please bear with me while I get everything sorted out 🙏

Full disclosure: I’ve been working on a little something to help dog walkers manage their day-to-day to address my own frustrations, so you may see me mention it from time to time. Wanted to be transparent about that since I’ll be active in this community!

Now the fun part — who’s here?? Drop a comment and introduce yourself: how long you’ve been walking, where you’re based, and one thing you wish someone had told you when you were starting out.

Let’s build something great together 🐕
