Although this may seem like a silly job reserved for teens or college students in the summer, it can pay as much as $50 per hour. Walking large dogs through congested city streets is not easy and people who are elderly, disabled, out of town or just lazy are willing to pay a premium to have someone else exercise their beloved pets. Since most cities require pet owners to clean up after their dogs, the pooper scooper is probably the worst part of the job, or maybe the worst part is trying to keep multiple leashes from tangling so you do not fall on your face.
