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.

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.

Smart girl. 🙂 @Pinkstarburst

Dog walking is a great job for kids because it teaches then responsibility. And dogs are awesome, so that's a win. Kid walks my dog, but he would like a little more.
