A DOG walker has revealed a “nasty” side hustle that can make you up to £10,000 extra a month.
Kelly Bullock, who owns her own business called Mucky Paws, revealed that the job is perfect for anyone who walks as a dog walker, but can be done by anyone, with no qualifications needed.
“There’s a huge business potential that us dog walkers are overlooking, because it’s absolutely huge in America”, she revealed in a TikTok video, posted to her dog walking account @mucky.paws.dog.walker.
Kelly revealed that with just 13 clients, you can make an extra £1000 a month with this side hustle, and with 100 clients, you can make £10,000 a month.
“There is zero people in my town doing this service”, she said, highlighting that the side hustle is a gap in the market.
The side hustle Kelly is referring to in her video is dog poo scooping, which she said is perfect if you’re a dog waker, as you can just add it as an existing service to your business.

However, she added that she would never do this herself as its a job she doesn’t “like doing”.
She added that even though her own dogs get walked all the time, she has to deep clean her garden every week because of the poo, meaning that many people will be in the same boat, and will be looking for someone to clean up the poo for them.
Scooper Heroes is a dog poo scooping business that offers to do the “nastiest job” for you.
The business charges up to £80 per visit, to get gardens dog poo free.
The Hertfordshire based business said: “Scooper Heroes exists for one simple reason: to take the nastiest job in dog ownership off your hands so you can focus on the good bits.
“Based right here in Hertfordshire, we help dog owners keep their gardens clean, safe, and smell-free by doing the one thing no one wants to do: picking up the poo.
“Whether you’re juggling work and family, managing a busy household, or simply tired of dodging dog mess in the grass, we’re here to help.”
Kelly’s video has likely left many people impressed, as it has been flooded with comments from social media users, intrigued by the business venture.
One person said: “I pick up random poops when I’m out walking as just hate to see them all over.
“Never thought about monetising it.”
