A lot of this job is quite literally just sitting :)
I personally am not being paid for this but itās like a vacation that also gives me a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. plus I get to hang with dogs that I donāt have to actually take full time care of after the weekend!
Worth the effort poured into building rapport, And genuinely makes me feel like a āGood Personā.

I live away from my dog (anti-rec fyi) and any time Iām home and get to hang out I love to watch him toil away at his little jobs and hobbies. Heās really working hard on chewing his toys, using his paws like hands, and smiling with his bottom teeth, and after a long day he sleeps tucked in the bed like a little human with the knowledge that he did his best all day.

I spend so much time energy and money on Benny that I could have just had a baby quite honestly though I prefer having a dog at this juncture.
The smarter and more active the dog the more special care they require. itās a lot of responsibility (to your dog and to society!) and theyāre not like cats where they can just entertain themselves. If you look at the puppy101 subreddit there are so many threads from people who didnāt understand or anticipate how difficult it was to take care of a puppy and how dramatically it can change your life. Adult dogs are easier but itās still just a lot lol.
So it depends on what you mean by worth it. I enjoy the practice of providing for the complex needs of a little creature and find that to be a reward in and of itself and heās my little buddy too (Pictured Benny begging and screaming for my avocado oil cheese puffs today)

This Cy Twombly playlist was particularly good, I also find peace in some Monet playlists. This does also apply to other forms of media, such as authors and influencers, films etc. I watched the Substance and found a lot of European 2000s house music through those lists. I just finished Cookie Muellerās Walking Through Clear Water in A Pool Painted Black (apologies if itās not the exact title of the book, Iām not motivated to look it up at the moment) but her lists are full of Nico and The Velvet Underground.
If your favorite artists dont already have playlists, make them one yourself!
