Section 91.003 calls a dog at large unless a fence or a leash holds it on the owner's property. The same section writes an exception for a city-designated dog park, so off-leash time happens at McInnish, 1845 Legends Trail. It runs sunrise to 10 p.m. and shuts Friday mornings from 7 to 10, so a Friday route stays on sidewalk.
You meet the owner and the dog, agree the pickup time and the route, and check the harness, the leash and whether the dog pulls or reacts to other dogs. In Carrollton that meet-and-greet is where most repeat clients are won.
Leash on, waste bagged, water offered on longer loops, and a check of the pavement before you head out on a hot afternoon. Owners want to know the dog was walked, not driven around a parking lot for twenty minutes.

Owners read profiles the way they read reviews of a daycare. Four things get you the first booking.
A profile that says which Carrollton neighborhoods you cover beats one that says "anywhere". Owners search for someone close, and a short travel time is what makes a recurring walk work.
Owners want the same walker at the same time each day. Say which weekday windows you can hold, and you will be chosen over a walker with a wider but vaguer calendar.
Which breeds you have walked, whether you are fine with a strong puller or a reactive dog, and what you do when one dog will not walk. Specifics win. So does a photo of you with a dog.
