StarterSignal #7 on the radar

Dog walking & drop-in pet visits for working owners

Near-zero startup and sticky, recurring demand: office workers and travelers need someone dependable for midday walks and drop-in visits. Apps take a cut and rotate strangers through — a known local walker keeps the whole client.

Signal evidence

"I want the same walker every day, not a different app person each time"

One of the lowest-cost businesses to start, with recurring daily/weekly demand. The gap is trust and consistency: owners prefer a single known local walker over rotating gig-app workers.
