A software engineer in New York City has found an unusual way to build a second income stream, by walking dogs in some of Manhattan’s busiest neighbourhoods. Twenty-eight-year-old Coby Goodhart now earns more than $6,000 (around Rs 5.72 lakh) every month through his premium pet-care venture, even while continuing his full-time tech job. What began as a personal love for pets has quickly grown into a six-figure side business in just over a year.
Started As A Passion Project In New York
Goodhart launched Goodhart Dog Co. in 2025, two years after shifting to New York City. According to People, he designed the business around his office schedule so he could manage both careers at the same time.
“Goodhart Dog Co. is something I've built completely around that schedule," said Goodhart, adding that he does walks in the mornings, on his lunch breaks, evenings and weekends.
