DogWalkJobs.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click certain links on this site and sign up for services, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps fund the research and writing that goes into our guides. We only recommend services we'd actually use ourselves.
What this means in plain language
Some of the links on this website are "affiliate links." When you click one of these links and complete a sign-up or purchase, the company may pay us a small commission. The price you pay doesn't change. The company you sign up with sets the price. We just get a referral fee for sending you their way.
How we choose what to recommend
We try to be honest. Specifically:
- We recommend services based on actual research and personal experience, not just commission rates
- If a service we'd recommend doesn't have an affiliate program, we still recommend it
- We disclose pros and cons, including pros and cons of services we earn commission on
- We never recommend services we wouldn't use ourselves
What we earn commission on
The most common affiliate relationships on this site:
- Direct-hire dog walker job platforms (when you apply through our links)
- Pet care platforms like Rover (sometimes)
- Pet sitter insurance providers
- Pet first aid certification programs
- Pet care equipment via Amazon Associates
Our editorial independence
We do not let affiliate relationships dictate our content or recommendations. If we think a service is overpriced or low-quality, we say so even if we earn commission on it. If we think a free alternative is better, we recommend the free alternative.
Identifying affiliate links
Affiliate links on this site are typically marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" in the link code. Visually, they may have a small note nearby like "I may earn a small commission" or appear in a section labeled as a recommendation.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure complies with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
