What makes a dog walker book out in Sydney
Sydney has the largest pet-owning population in Australia, and the demand clusters where owners work long hours: the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West, and the North Shore. The work-from-home Wednesday has become the single biggest driver of recurring weekday walks. Walkers who own a few suburbs, run the midday slot, and know the beach and park routes earn the standing bookings that fill a calendar.
