Anyone else here walking as their primary or only service? I’ve been dog walking for 2 years, full time booked for the last year or more. The last 6 months I’ve been averaging around 20,000 steps. I work basically 7 days a week. Weekdays are my primary working days, weekends slower but still go out. Saturdays can be somewhat busy and Sunday sometimes only have 1 walk. I’m pretty sore, and constantly tired. I work as much as I can to pay my bills and put some aside. I love the dogs and enjoy working for myself, but damn. I question the sustainability of this work all the time.

I was thinking doing housesitting could be the solution. But my one Housesitting client I have is 2 large dogs, only books a couple nights on the weekend and leaves me even more exhausted. The cat market is pretty dominated here. I don’t know if group walks are the answer.

Any other full time walkers find a way to make this sustainable? Feel free to comment as well if you’re just exhausted with me 🙃

I picked up a last minute booking for Achray next weekend and don't know much about this campground at all! I'll be there Friday & Saturday night, with Saturday as my only full day I'm thinking of canoeing the Barron Canyon that day. The day I arrive or leave maybe do the short hike up it as well? Are there any must do or see things in the area? I enjoy hiking/canoeing/swimming.

Wondering if it's possible to remove the cat specific care section on my profile once I've filled it out?

I don't want to stop offering drop ins to cats, just want to remove the cat specific care section.

Hi all, im looking to invest in a good quality stainless steel dehydrator. Any recommendations would be amazing! thank you!

I bought a DF54 back in November, it seemed to be doing ok in terms of static the first few months, however after a month or so I had a really bad clogging issue and I took it apart. It seemed like the beans I was using were maybe super oily cause they were stuck everywhere. Switched beans and I think I was doing ok for awhile but the static seems to be getting worse and worse, so I started adding some water droplets to the beans and shaking it. Fast forward to now had another major clog and I had to pull it apart (not sure if the dampened beans caused this clog at the chute or if I should be cleaning the chute regularly to avoid this?). Cleaned it up, removed the clog, still having the absolute worst static. I don't know if this is something I should be reaching out to the company I bought it from, or if there's something I can try/do differently. Did I already void any possible warranty by opening it up? Any advice would be super helpful.

The time I have off this summer is pretty limited but I'm thinking of doing a 2 night stay in Killarney. It's about a 4 hour drive for me to get up and would likely leave after a short work day around 3pm, arrive around 7-8pm Friday night. Since campsites are book and I'm on limited on time thinking of getting a room at Killarney Mountain Resorts (other suggestions welcome). I definitely want to hike The Crack. Wanted to see if another hike could also be done in the same day? Any help planning out the remaining time I'd have open on Saturday & Sunday before leaving would be awesome!

Hi is there anyway to test facebook posts and see how they will appear before officially launching them on a business page?

I've tried creating a second facebook profile, to have a test profile, but it keeps getting flagged and asking me to video verify my identity. I've read I can create a second facebook page on my main account to do this but I'm worried this will somehow break a rule with facebook and end up with my main page banned too. Has anyone done this? Please let me know. thank you.
