What will they think of next? Apparently it’s GPS tracking for Dog Walkers.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’ve signed Rover up for a dog walking service, but have suspicions that your dog walker isn’t holding up her end of the “walking” requirement, you now have a few solutions. That’s right, you can now stalk your dog and<\/em> your dog walker.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few ways you can go about ensuring that your pooch is getting the right amount of his daily exercise, along with ample time to sniff.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can go the route of getting a microchip implanted into your dog that has GPS tracking ability or purchase a collar with a GPS tracker device embedded into it. There’s also a boatload of GPS-enabled dog-walking apps that not only provide easing viewing of your dogs walks in real-time, but accountability for your dog walker.<\/span><\/p>\n

With many of these solutions, you can see the exact route your dog walker took, how many miles were walked, and the duration of the stroll. You can also opt-in to receive text alerts that tell you when your dog walk started, ended, and what actions were taken by your dog during the walk (i.e. was your dog’s business taken care of, and if so how many times).<\/span><\/p>\n

But the benefits aren’t only for the dog owner. Dog walkers can use GPS tracking for dog walking applications to keep track of their work schedule: number of dogs walked, money earned, hours spend walking, and miles walked.<\/span><\/p>\n

For business owners who just started a dog walking business — and who have yet to develop an established reputation —\u00a0 using GPS tracking for their dog walkers can help to gain credibility and referrals to grow their business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since dog walking is an unlicensed profession, GPS tracking helps put some accountability in this growing line of work. It’s a great way to display professional integrity to dog-owning clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dog walking services have become full-fledged businesses in recent years, and any tool that can help new dog-walking entrepreneurs become more competitive is most likely welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
