Dog Walker Jobs in Manhattan Beach, CA

A Dog Walker plays an important role in the veterinary industry by ensuring that dogs receive regular exercise, which is crucial for their health and wellbeing. They undertake the responsibility of walking dogs for clients who may be busy, elderly, or incapacitated. They are responsible for managing varying dog breeds and sizes, maintaining control and ensuring safety at all times. They also monitor the dogs' behavior, physical condition, and waste during walks, and may report any abnormalities or issues to the dog's owner or a Veterinary professional.

Some important skills a Dog Walker should possess include physical stamina, animal handling skills, and knowledge of different breeds and their needs. They should also have good communication skills to effectively interact with clients and manage any emergency situations that may arise. Some may choose to obtain certifications such as Pet First Aid/CPR or Certified Professional Dog Walker from recognized institutions to enhance their professional credibility. A person might have previously worked as a Pet Sitter, Veterinary Assistant, or Animal Shelter Volunteer before becoming a Dog Walker. These roles offer valuable experience in animal care and handling, building a foundation for a successful career in dog walking.
