Northampton pet sitting: your own business looking after dogs while owners are away
Can you be trusted with a front door key?
In Northampton that question matters to every owner who wants to leave a dog at home during a holiday.
We are looking for three self-employed sitters, taking bookings from Woof Walk, a UK app where owners find, book and pay local pet carers.
Dog walking is advertised separately.
Visits happen in the owner's house or flat.
Think of a lunchtime check at Kingsthorpe, an evening routine at Duston, a long weekend of nights near Abington Park.
Follow the owner's instructions, feed and let out the dog, offer company and finish with a message.
It is an independent role.
Woof Walk pays no wage and promises no guaranteed bookings, but you pick your prices for visits and nights, and the owner's payment goes through the app into your account.
A word on dogs sleeping at your place: that is home boarding, and councils require a licence before anyone offers it.
It is listed apart from sitting in the app, and working at the owner's address does not need one.
The fee schedule is brief.
Join free.
Pay no commission for 14 days.
Afterwards Woof Walk keeps 15% of each booking, until five of your own clients have joined, when the cut becomes 10% for the long term.
Clients you introduce pay the 10% from day one.
As a sole trader you report your own earnings for tax and sort out National Insurance and insurance.
You must be over 18 and meet each pet and owner beforehand.
Apply through Find a Job, naming Northampton areas such as Weston Favell, Delapre or Sixfields.
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.
