Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while dog walking can provide a decent baseline income, it often lacks the predictability and stability of a traditional job. Many factors, such as location, client availability, and competition, can lead to fluctuations in income. However, with a strong client base and good reputation, some consistency can be achieved, making it more reliable than a 2 but not as predictable as a 4.
