We got down to specifics on gender shortly thereafter when we broke down what the life of a dog trainer/dog walker looks like, and both non-binary and dog walker were utterly mystifying to boomers.
There's a generational divide that also coincides with a suburban/rural and urban divide in our family where my wife and I and my sister both live in urban settings in apartment/condo style places and our parents' generation live in suburbs or middle of nowhere and drive everywhere and have big houses and yards and completely different kinds of work. The idea of paying for a dog walker was foreign to someone who will either drive home to take the dog out or just leave them in the yard all day. The idea of not having two cars between me and my wife was also deemed insane. My dad was jealous I haven't spent a single minute raking the yard this year though.
