Let puppies out for quick midday potty breaks while new owners are at work. Puppies cannot hold it for 8 hours, so owners need someone reliable. Visits are 15-20 minutes and pay $12-18 each. Stack 3-4 visits in the same neighborhood during lunch hours. It is quick, easy, and in high demand year-round.
🚀 First Step
Post on Nextdoor and local Facebook groups that you are available for midday puppy potty breaks, specifically targeting new puppy owners in your zip code.
  • Schedule all visits within a half-mile radius for quick walking between stops
  • Keep a consistent schedule so owners can rely on you daily
  • Bring treats and use positive reinforcement — puppies learn faster with you
