Dog sitting in Bournemouth, self-employed: Westbourne, Southbourne, Winton and Kinson
Holiday towns are odd places to find a dog sitter, because everyone assumes the job is seasonal. Bournemouth owners go away too, though, and their dogs need care at home. We want three self-employed sitters, with bookings arriving through WoofWalk, a UK app where owners find, book and pay local pet carers.
This job is the opposite of walking. You spend time inside the owner's home: feeding, comfort, garden breaks, a tablet if needed, and a message at the end of each visit. Westbourne, Winton, Southbourne, Boscombe, Kinson and the streets near Meyrick Park offer plenty of homes to look after.
Our terms are blunt. We do not pay a wage, and there are no guaranteed bookings. You set what a visit or a night costs, owners pay through the app, and the money goes to your bank.
A dog sleeping at your house is home boarding, so you must hold a licence from the council first. The app treats it separately, and sitting at the owner's address needs no such licence.
Nothing is charged to join. First 14 days: no commission. After that 15% per booking, until five of your clients have joined, then 10% for ever. Anyone you bring yourself is on 10% from their first booking.
You must be over 18, and you must also meet each owner and animal before you accept a booking. Whatever tax falls due, along with National Insurance, is for you to pay, and cover for yourself and the pets is yours to find.
Experience caring for pets (your own, family, friends or work). Honest and organised. Happy to follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks and medication. A smartphone for the app.
