Do you think it's odd for a 15-year-old kid to offer free dog walking services?

Why free. Charge $20 bucks.

When my niece was 13 she started a small dog walking business in her neighborhood. From 7-10am every Saturday she would walk dogs for $5 a dog. She would jog with the more energetic or larger ones. One trip around the block. Because of that, many neighbors started hiring her to dog sit and even come play with their dogs on evenings when they had to work late or were unable to for whatever reason.

She was very smart about it. Always requested that she spend some time with the dog before they agreed to let her walk them so everyone would be comfortable.

Shame on any adult that would put a child down for this. Such horrible people

Yes, I would ask questions. However, there was a period of time that I was so lonely ( yet married), that I did beg to walk my friend’s dog regularly. He was a yellow lab and even took him on business trips and a trip to the beach.😃 so just ask why…it could be innocent.

The kid probably wants a dog so badly and the parents won’t get her one. Just wants to be around dogs. I used to walk my neighbours dogs when I was a kid for free

People who need his services ought to be decent enough to throw some change his way and give him a reference when he needs one too.

I just find it strange he wouldn't charge. That's a good way for a kid to make some money

I'd say he'd be too young to handle a full grown large dog
but those lapdogs and pursedogs he'll be ok with

Maybe he has an agreement w his parents that he must show responsibility before they buy him a dog ?

Yeah cause kids are much kinder and more selfless than adults.

I think that's very nice of them

Probably using them as experiments.

Nope
