Pros

Able to get a few great clients and dogs who make all the difference, and can be regulars

Cons

Management wants you over worked and exhausted, roll of the dice on coworkers who are great versus coworkers who don’t know anything and don’t care about pet safety, dog owners who don’t want to help their pets, want cheap services and don’t care about their pets
