I can see having a walker or using a kennel if you are going on travel and cant bring the dog, but...really? What’s the point of having a dog if you’re just going to pawn the care of it off on some stranger?

Reminds me of Elton John and his gay partner ‘having a baby’ and pawning off its care 24/7 on a nanny.

Perhaps the type of clientele who pay dog walkers can also afford expensive breeds of dogs. Part of their appearance in maintaining status.

I don’t understand that either, BUT - my sister has her own service caring for cats and dogs via word of mouth and she is never at a loss for customers.
She usually has 3-4 pets to care for on any given weekend, though she’s not walking the same dogs every day of the week.
It could be worse. At least it wasn't a child pawned off on some stranger.

It’s worse when they do it to their kids.
People have jobs. They walk their dogs in the morning and evening but hire a dog walker to do the necessary during the midday period. The dog walkers also cover during various out of town trips. Around here, it seems to be mostly stay at home moms who pick this up.for a little cash and a reason to get out in the afternoons. My daughter dog walked for a neighbor when she was in middle school. She had to get home from school pronto and go right out, but she sure liked being the richest kid in 8th grade. Those neighbors, like most, did the morning and night walks and I think were very glad to have some relief from what had become a tedious, unwanted chore with a lethargic older dog.
