Staying active & reducing stress We are Larne Dog Walking, Northern Ireland's first dog-walking hub. We have excellent local knowledge and will give your dog the care it deserves

We've been self-employed since 2018 and love keeping active and walking. It's our passion to help others because helping people with something meaningful makes us happy.

**Our Location**

We are located in Larne, which is perfect because not only can we do walks at our HQ, but also at other locations within Larne too

**We Love What We Do**

Larne Dog Walking started because our passions include walking and helping people with meaningful things.

Description:
Looking for a challenge and want to grow within Larne Dog Walking? You'll have the opportunity to break a sweat every day outside in the fresh air with furry four-legged friends who'll keep you on your toes.

Our walks make sure we tire out our energetic friends so often they'll go for a snooze after their amazing adventure with us. You'll not just be another "Dog Walker"

The challenge comes when you are continually training the pups on your walks. This is just expected because it makes your day easier for you.

You'll be required to use your treats and expected to always have poop bags. Because you'll not just be another dog walker, you'll become a professional dog walker.

This means you'll give customers confidence in your service and your leadership skills. This means you'll confidently want to grow your walks and be able to handle multiple dogs from separate customers.

You'll get paid £14 per hour for the time you walk your dogs. This will work out to around £11-£12 per hour to start. As you develop and give us confidence, you'll be able to grow your income for example walking to pick-up and drop back in multiple dogs with the potential to earn up to £18 per hour.
