Crawley pet sitter, self-employed: owners flying from Gatwick need someone at home with the dog
Crawley sits next to an airport, and plenty of residents fly off for work or holidays at short notice. Their dogs stay behind, which is where a sitter helps. WoofWalk, a UK app where owners find, book and pay local pet carers, is looking for three self-employed sitters here to care for dogs at the owner's home.
The work: calls once or twice a day, or nights in the house, feeding the dog, giving a garden break and keeping it company, then letting the owner know. Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Ifield, Furnace Green and Southgate are neighbourhoods you might serve, with Tilgate Park and Goffs Park nearby for owners who want a walk included.
Let us be straight about the arrangement. No wage is on offer and bookings come with no guaranteed level. You set the price for each visit and night; owners pay through the app and you are paid into your bank.
Boarding a dog at your own place is a separate matter. It needs a council licence, and the app lists it as a different service. Working in the owner's home needs none.
Commission: nothing to join, and nothing for the first 14 days. WoofWalk then keeps 15% of each booking until five of your own clients have joined, after which it is 10% for the long term. Clients you bring yourself pay 10% on the first booking.
Setting up for tax, National Insurance and insurance is a job for you to do before the first booking. Be over 18, and meet each owner and pet before you accept a first booking.
Apply through Find a Job, naming the Crawley neighbourhoods you can reach.
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.
