Jobs Working with Dogs for RVers and Campers
Is a job working with dogs and full-time RVing your dream combination? Options range from volunteering at animal shelters, to career positions at dog shows, to working in canine campgrounds.
Some campgrounds cater to dogs, or campers with dogs. The canine friendly campgrounds would be a good place to work as groomer, trainer, or with dogs in some other capacity. They may be open to having you work independently. Or, they may hire you as staff. Cane9Creek RV Park & Campground is one that advertises that they have an on-site groomer.
You might do clicker training or teach clicker training.
Some RVers have a career working with dogs at shows. They show, judge, or trail. They work as handlers and groomers. Others work the shows at trade show reps, for dog food companies or other suppliers.

Your Working While RVing Questions Answered
Hotdogs
~~ Steven asks: Can I travel from flea market to flea market and state to state selling hot dogs from a hot dog cart? Do I need a license in every state or is there a national license that I can obtain?
~~ I answered in part: Setting up business with a hot dog vending cart (or any food concession) requires you have a local health inspection and food license. As far as I know, there's no national license. You need to go to the health department in each state where you work. It is likely that you will also need a county and/or city license, too.
~~ Working RVer Frank P., Sr. added: The bureau-cratic red tape can be a real headache when it comes to licensure. However, it may not be necessary to get a state license for so many states.
