Gateshead dog sitting round for a self-employed sitter: Low Fell, Whickham, Dunston and Felling
Gateshead sits across the Tyne from Newcastle, and plenty of owners work shifts or travel, leaving dogs at home. Three self-employed sitters could look after them. Bookings arrive through WoofWalk, a UK app where owners find, book and pay local pet carers, and the work is quite different from the walking advert we run.
Perhaps a morning and evening call at Low Fell, a weekend of nights at Whickham, or a lunchtime visit in Dunston or Felling. You feed the dog, give it a garden break, keep it company and send a message. Saltwell Park and Riverside Park are close if the owner wants a walk included.
Being straight with you: there is no wage here and no guaranteed bookings. You pick the price of each visit and night, and owners pay through the app so the money arrives in your bank.
Dogs sleeping in your home would count as boarding, which needs a licence from the council and is a separate service in the app. At the owner's address no licence is needed.
No charge to join. No commission for 14 days. After that 15% of each booking until five of your own clients have joined, when it drops to 10% and stays there. A client you bring yourself pays 10% from the beginning.
Declaring tax, paying National Insurance and holding insurance are things you do as a self-employed person. You must be over 18, and meet each pet and owner before accepting.
Comfortable looking after dogs and other pets in their own home. Friendly and reliable with clients. Self-motivated, as you run your own work. A smartphone for bookings.
exceeds National minimum wage 45p per mile between visits.
