Self-employed dog walking round in Ipswich: Christchurch Park to the Orwell
Who do Ipswich owners call when they cannot get home by lunchtime? Increasingly, someone they found in an app. WoofWalk lets dog owners book and pay a local walker, and we would like three self-employed walkers to take up that role in Ipswich, from Christchurch Park and the Westerfield side down to the Orwell riverside and Orwell Country Park.
You would be running your own small round. We pay no wage and offer no guaranteed bookings, which is the honest trade for deciding your own prices, your own days and your own patch. Owners pay in the app and the payment lands in your bank.
A rough guide to prices: about 200 WoofWalk listings in October 2026 asked between £12 and £28 for an hour's walk on its own, and £18 was the commonest.
The commission is easy to remember. Joining is free; there is none for 14 days; then 15% of each booking until you have five clients of your own on board, when it falls to 10% permanently. If you bring a client yourself, they pay 10% from the first booking.
Ipswich has lovely variety for a walker: the formal paths of Holywells Park, the open heath at Rushmere, the long towpath feel of the waterfront. Come the January tax return, the National Insurance and any insurance you want are yours to deal with, not ours.
Applicants must be over 18 and willing to meet owner and dog together first. Walkers already working in Ipswich are welcome to bring their clients over.
Genuine love of dogs and confidence handling them. Dependable and good with people. Able to manage your own schedule. A smartphone to run the app.
