In a country like India, where traditional career paths have dominated the professional landscape for a very long time, an unusual story is making waves across the internet. Before you read ahead, brace yourself as this can make you question your career choices.

A dog walker, hailing from Maharashtra, has reportedly been earning a staggering ₹4.5 lakh per month – a salary that exceeds many white-collar jobs. As surprising as it may sound, this story has sparked curiosity and debate alike.

According to reports, the man, whose identity has not been revealed is earning ₹4.5 lakh per month by walking 38 dogs. His brother, who has an MBA degree, earns far less. A viral Instagram post says, “A Maharashtra dog walker is making waves online after revealing he earns ₹4.5 lakh/month, more than many doctors. Charging ₹15K per dog for 2 daily walks and handling 38 dogs, he’s out-earning his MBA brother who earns ₹70K/month. His story has reignited debate around unconventional careers.”

With India’s booming pet care industry, which is projected to cross ₹7,500 crore by 2026, the demand for dog walkers and pet care professionals has surged, especially in metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi. More pet parents are now seeking personalised services for their furry friends. Making the most out of this, some people have turned this into a serious and scalable profession.

But the real question is: Is it really possible for a dog walker in Maharashtra to earn that kind of money or is this another social media exaggeration wave?

As per data, most professional dog walkers in cities like Mumbai or Pune charge anywhere between ₹300 to ₹500 per walk per dog. If someone handles 10–15 dogs a day in multiple time slots and adds premium services like training, pet-sitting or group walking packages, the numbers can go further up. With loyal clients and consistent scheduling, it is actually possible to earn upto six-figure monthly earnings. However, it can differ from people to people.
