Take high-energy dogs to the park for real exercise — not just a quick walk around the block. Run, play fetch, and let them socialize. Charge $25-35 per hour-long outing. Owners of active breeds like huskies, labs, and shepherds will happily pay for someone to really tire their dog out. One trip per day adds up fast.
🚀 First Step
Post on Nextdoor targeting owners of active breeds, offering a tiring park play session with photos and a GPS-tracked route summary included.
  • Focus on one dog at a time for safety and quality play
  • Bring your own tennis balls, water bowl, and poop bags to every outing
  • Use a GPS tracking app to show owners exactly where you went
