Pet sitter and dog walker, self-employed - Bristol area

Turn your love of dogs into flexible self-employed work in Bristol. WoofWalk is an app where local dog owners book walks and pet sitting.

Please note this is self-employed work with no guaranteed hours. You are in charge: you set your rate, you choose your clients and you choose your working hours. Typical work is dog walks plus pet sitting visits for clients who book you in the app.

How pay works: you set the price for each walk or visit. No fee to join. WoofWalk charges no commission for your first 2 weeks. After that it takes 15% of each booking made through the app, which drops to 10% for life once you bring 5 of your own clients onto the app.

Example: charge £15 for an hour-long walk and you keep £12.75 after the 15% commission, or £13.50 once you reach 10%. Both are above the £12.71 National Minimum Wage. You set your own rate.

Costs: there is nothing to pay upfront and no subscription. As a self-employed walker you are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance contributions (register with HMRC as self-employed) and your own insurance.
