🐾 Nobody tells you what it’s REALLY like to be a dog walker… 😂
You think you’ll spend your days strolling through flower-filled fields…
Reality looks a bit more like this:
🤢 Carrying bags and bags of poo swinging from your bum bag everywhere you go.
💪 Wrestling something disgusting out of a dog’s mouth before you even discover what it is… and it’s always something gross and sticky.
💩 That heart-sinking moment when you realise the long line has dragged through a fresh poo…
👀 Trying to stop a dog from rolling in fox poo, dead fish, dried frogs, or whatever other disgusting treasure they’ve found.
💦🙈 Getting a surprise shake-off right after they’ve discovered the biggest muddy puddle.
🌷 Constantly picking seed pods out of coats in the summer… then rinsing off muddy paws and drying wet dogs all winter. ❄️
🎾 Losing half your tennis balls to that one Spaniel who completely forgets to bring them back.
🧺 Washing endless towels, coats, blankets and drying muddy kit ready for tomorrow.
📸🤳 Realising 99% of your camera roll is dogs… and you wouldn’t have it any other way!
🚙 Cleaning your car… constantly.
☀️ And during these heatwaves? Setting the alarm for 5am to get everyone walked safely before it gets too hot, then popping back to visit pups for comfort breaks, fresh water and frozen treats.
And somehow… we still turn up every day with a smile because we absolutely love these furry little weirdos. ❤️🐶
👇 What’s the one thing nobody warned you about owning (or walking) dogs?
I’ll start…
Finding poo all over a dog’s neck after you just gave them a fuss! 😂
