Walking Dogs for Fun and Profit

Walking Dogs for Fun and Profit When Ilene Wellner was 11, her Yorkshire Terrier, Pucci, died while the family was away on a ski trip. “I loved her so much, and, when she died, I was horrified,” recalls Wellner. “I thought I killed her because I went away.” Wellner, 45, now operates her own professional pet care service, Dog Gone Walking LLC, located in Wynnewood, Pa., on the suburban Main Line outside of Philadelphia. Her mission makes that childhood memory resonate: to help out while pet owners are not home or able to care for their dogs. Her deep love of animals has clung to her. As the years passed, she and her family adopted dogs from local shelters. She spent her free time going to dog shows and reading every book she could get her hands on about dogs and dog training. “I always loved dogs, but I didn’t know there was anything I could do as a job with dogs,” she says. After graduating in 1992 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she worked in marketing and married a fellow alum. On maternity leave in 2004, she got an inkling of a demand for her future business. Some neighbors asked “if I could help while they were at work,” caring for their dogs, says Wellner. “Then another neighbor asked, and another.” She did return to work in a job share, with a three-day a week schedule. “It was a steady pay check, but the work was dull and didn’t allow for any creativity, so it felt stifling,” says Wellner. She began volunteering with rescues and shelters such as the Main Line Animal Rescue and PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society). “I loved it,” she recalls. Wellner looked for jobs with animals, but she found that there were no paid openings that were a match for her location and skills. In May 2009, a drunk driver rear-ended her car. Afterward, it hurt her back to sit, but not to walk. So she naturally gravitated to opening her own dog walking business. The opportunity was there: Dog care is a growing industry. This year, for example, Americans will spend an estimated $62.75 billion on their pets, up from $50.95 million five years ago, and more than double the amount spend in 2002, according to the American Pet Products Association, a nonprofit trade group. Meantime, according to the survey, 54.4 million U.S. households now own a dog. On March 2010, she launched her own dog walking business with $5,000 pulled from savings. “I knew I didn’t want to go into debt to do this, so I started small.” Most of those funds went toward building her website, developing a logo with a graphic designer, and purchasing insurance and bonding coverage. That first year, she paid herself $12,000. Her business has grown since then to revenues of $285,000 last year, and is profitable. Her pay has ramped up to around $130,000 annually. Overhead is low, as she runs the firm out of her house. Her team now includes 10 to 13 dog walkers. They include moms, chefs, music recorders, writers, vet students or vet techs, nurses, animal lovers, and pet owners. Wellner and her team oversee 30 to 50 dogs a day. They might take a pooch out for potty duty ($18), head off for a walk ($22 for a half-hour), or to socialize in a supervised playgroup ($45). She also offers overnight stays in clients’ homes ($85) when they’re traveling, and offers cat sitting and house visits for feeding and care. To ramp up her education, she shadowed an animal behaviorist for a number of years and went on appointments with her. “We’re learning from the dogs, and they’re learning from us.,” she says. “It is a very pure and special thing.” One lesson she learned: Canines have an intuition about humans. “If a dog is darting ahead and yanking at my shoulder, it might be because I’m in a hurry and a little franticâ€"even if I didn’t realize I was in that state,” she explains. For now, she keeps her services restricted to the vicinity of the Main Line. This allows her the ability to back up a walker, or take care of a client’s dog herself, if there’s an emergency. Staying near home isn’t an issue in terms of building her clientele, though. “There are so many dogs in this community, you can’t have too many dog walkers,” she says. “I regularly have to turn people down.” To help with monitoring her charges, Wellner recently updated from using email to communicate with walkers and clients to an automated system with an app. Dog owners can even receive a GPS check-in and check-out location from the sitters. This provides a time stamp for verification of visits and a place for sitters to send a personal note recounting the details of their walk. For Wellner, the inspiration for her work has never changed. “My personal favorite is just walking the dogs, and I typically handle 35 walks a week myself.”

3 Things HR Looks For In An Employee - Work It Daily

3 Things HR Looks For In An Employee - Work It Daily Your quality resume opened the door, but it’s only the first step in securing that dream job. RELATED: Need some job search advice? Watch these tutorials! Today’s HR departments have a burgeoning array of tools to assist them in the candidate-selection process. They’re crunching data on psychometrics, IQ, EQ, physical appearance and aptitude to uncover the evidence to support a merger with Brand You. Your mission is to present a persuasive performance that exposes â€" if not the real you â€" the ideal candidate for the job. It means being able to articulate how your qualifications and experience, your vocational goals, and even non-work-related activities align with the organization’s strategic focus. Google assesses, among other things, “Googlyness”: “Your comfort with ambiguity, your bias to action and your collaborative nature.” At Kraft, being an ardent fan of macaroni and cheese won’t sway the selection panel unless you’ve also got sound people-development experience, listening skills, and mental agility. But although the rules of the game may vary, most organizations focus on some key factors. Here are three things HR looks for in an employee: 1. Agility Organizations want quick-change artists â€" people who recognize shifts in and out of the workplace and rapidly adapt their approach to suit. It’s not just about operations. Intercultural and generational flexibility can carry as much weight as talent and past experience. Seventy per cent of employers in the UK and 58 per cent in the US see “intercultural skills as very important” according to a report by Booz Allen Hamilton, Ipsos Public Affairs and the British Council. Similarly, with four generations now sharing office space, it’s critical that you’re willing and able to find common ground for the good of the business. 2. Attitude Smarts, spirit, courage and a sense of fun may not be prerequisites for a suburban accountancy firm, but employers of choice are likely to insist on candidates who enjoy a challenge. The hiring process at LEGO Australia New Zealand includes a presentation to the selection panel demonstrating expertise in the role as well as a “top secret” brick-building exercise. “We’re a high-performance team; we expect a lot out of our employees, but we want you to have fun while doing it,” says HR manager Kimberly Burton. Intelligence also logically comes into play at DFAT, where strong academic achievement must be matched with the ability to “work under pressure, occasionally in difficult environments”. 3. Awareness You can forget all of the above if you don’t have a deep appreciation of your chosen brand, because there won’t be time to settle in. No honeymoon period. In an aggressive job market, you need to be able to “hit the ground running” and prove a worthy investment from day one. It worked for Californian Andrew Smith. His career passport was stamped with visas from around the world that, along with a massive presence on social media, helped him stand out from 330,000 applicants in Tourism Australia’s latest Best Jobs in the World campaign. Appointed Chief Funster for NSW, he’ll spend six months as a “professional party-goer”. It may not be everybody’s dream job, but it’s a living. This post was originally published at an earlier date.
