I walk dogs for a dog walking service can i deduct the mileage driving to and from the clients home

Yes, if you drive to different clients' homes and not to a central office.

See TT Coleen's answer below.  I assumed (wrongly) that you were an independent contractor working for a dog walking service.

No, you can't deduct mileage. It is commuting. The only way this is not commuting is if you have a home office and travel to the client's home from your home office.
