Dog walker mileage reimbursement with several trips a day from home

I am working as a dog walker, and often have days where I drive to a client's home for a walk, then return to my house for an hour or two, then go to another client's home for a walk, then back to my home again, etc. I know the mileage to the first client of the day and from the last client's home back to my house are commuting mileage; what about the mileage from my house to a client's home and back that are middle of the day trips? Can I count the mileage for any of those trips as business mileage? I do not count my home as a home office since my work is all occurring at people's houses.

 

Thanks!
