Frequently Asked Questions
How is walk duration estimated?
Duration is calculated by multiplying route distance by your walking pace in minutes per mile, which accounts for stops and sniffing time built into your typical pace.
Does group size affect walk duration?
Not directly in this model, but more dogs often mean a slower real-world pace, so you may want to increase your pace input for larger groups.
How can I use the effective hourly rate?
It helps you compare route profitability and decide whether to adjust group size or pricing to hit your income goals.
