I can tell you that I have never been sick or injured in the last two years. I believe staying fit and not working in an office has played a big role in this. If I were ever too sick to run or walk, I would simply call and cancel as far enough ahead as I could. If you have a lot of other responsibilities, you could always offer dog walking strictly on M, W, F or perhaps M-Th or something like that, doesn't have to be every single day.

No one talks about sick or vacation policy. Since it is just you, you're bound to need a sick day etc at some point. Do you have backup, or do you have a notification policy? This is my biggest sticking point since I have kids, and other responsibilities as well.Thanks Hi
