Engineer Turns Luxury Dog‑Walking Side Hustle into a Six‑Figure New York Business

Built around his full‑time engineering schedule, the service highlights strong demand for premium pet care in busy Manhattan neighborhoods.

Overview

  • National profiles published on Monday report that 28‑year‑old Coby Goodhart’s Goodhart Dog Co. earns more than $6,000 a month and “north of six figures” a year, figures he provided in an interview with People.
  • Goodhart runs the business around his day job as an engineering consultant by scheduling walks in the mornings, on his lunch break, in the evenings, and on weekends.
  • The team serves Lower Manhattan and handles roughly 10 to 20 dog walks a day, and Goodhart has hired and trained at least one additional walker to cover midday shifts.
  • He positions the company as a luxury service with variable pricing by location, dog size and behavior, and credits growth to word‑of‑mouth, doorman outreach and a strong social media presence.
  • Goodhart says he plans to scale the operation into a full‑time business, though the published revenue and operational details are self‑reported and not independently verified.
