In the current economic landscape, people are sharing their stories of navigating the challenges and successes they have faced in making a living through the series “My Economy.” One such story is that of Judy Nunez, who opened her pet business, Tails on Trails, in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Nunez’s passion for animals led her to start her own business after she needed a job that accommodated her physical limitations following injuries. She found dog walking to be an ideal outlet to combine her love for animals with her need for physical activity.
Despite its initial success, Tails on Trails faced significant changes during the pandemic. The number of employees decreased from 26 to between four and six depending on the season. However, Nunez remains optimistic about the future of her business and believes that a smaller team allows for easier management and growth opportunities.
