Have you ever wanted to be more time- and energy-efficient by walking your dog and running errands on the same trip, but the place you’re going doesn’t allow dogs?

What if there was a canine concierge in the parking lot? The canine concierge is someone who, for a small fee, will hold your dog and monitor its safety while you’re in the grocery store, or wherever. The canine concierge will have set up a small vendor-type tent in the far corner of the parking lot, and will provide for your dog, shade, water, and attention. You could leave your car at home, bring your to-do list. This is a low-cost business idea for entrepreneurs, and offers a great summer job for students.
