So I am thinking about starting my own little dog walking business. I have been thinking about this for some time, and I've done a lot of research into how to go about it. What I will need, insurance, etc. I have been taking a few dogs lately, just to see if:
1. I would enjoy it.
2. I could handle it
I absolutely enjoy dogs and walking and after having a few different dogs the last few weeks I know I can handle dogs other than my own quite well and even several at a time. I walked Max all but three days this winter so I know that I can handle walking in all kinds of weather.
I have a list of things I will need to do, including website, facebook, email. Many leashes and lots and lots of poop bags. A questionnaire for potential customers so I can get to know their dogs a little bit before I take them out, like a list of likes and dislikes, if they have fears, if they are reactive, how are they with other dogs, if they would need to be walked alone. How much exercise do they currently get. Do they have up to date vaccines or titers. Do they have any health issues I need to know about. This is just a start of course.
I am still in the planning stages but the one thing I'm having a hard time with is thinking of a good name.
If any of you creative people here (and I know there are many) have any ideas for a good name for a dog walking business I would really appreciate the help. :)

I like the cute and creative names, but I think in your title it is good to state exactly what you do -- because when people do an internet search for dog walker you will come up.
What about Pooch Promenade or Tails and Trails?
Like Tails and Trails too!
I have a criminal record check from volunteering so I'm good there, I thought about that too. You might be right about having a name that sounds more dependable, I'll have to think that one over. I do like the catchy names, but I also want people to realize I'm a responsible adult, thanks BG.
Good luck with your endeavour. How about Pawsitive Steps, Pawsitive Energy, Pawsitive Outlook, Pawsitive Vibes, Pawsitively Inclined, Pawsitively Perfect, well you get the idea. Struts for Mutts, Canine Capers, Make Tracks, Max Tracks, Movers and Shakers, ok, I'll stop now. Well just one more, Mutt-Trek-Elation. lol
Gee, I thought I was being ever so clever with that play on words. :.)))
You need some sunshine Donna lol. I do like Stuts for Mutts :)
LOLOL!!!
OOPS!
