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

I'd say not, providing that an adult is making sure all contacts are legit. But kid has been receiving some nasty comments from strangers AND FAMILY. I don't know what's wrong with people sometimes.

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.

@cherokeepatti I know if a kid offered to walk my dog for free, I'd give him some pocket money, even when he said no. 🙂

@ArminArlert anyone who takes advantage of someone without any desire to help pay back is just a user. The way I was raised if someone helped you or gave you something, even excess from their garden or fruit trees you’d think of something that they could use and pay them back later. It wasn’t a hard rule when it came to people who were struggling but even helping them do things would be better than nothing.
