What makes a dog walker book out in Toronto
Toronto owners work long downtown hours, and a dog in a Liberty Village condo or a Leslieville semi needs a midday walk. The walkers who earn the most are the ones who show up through a February snow squall when others cancel. Reliability through the cold, plus a quick photo from the route, is what turns a one-off into a standing weekday booking.
