We are currently looking for another great dog walker to join our team. If you think this could be you, then read on…
We are looking for someone who is…
- Great with animals
- Happy to work outdoors in all weathers and at all times of year
- Willing to learn new skills
- Able to work a regular patetrn of hours / days each week as required. (we don’t normally work weekends) This could be potentially either full-time or part-time to suit you.
- Either self-employed already or would be happy to become a self-employed dog walker (we can help you with this)
- Reliable and committed
- Reasonably fit and healthy
The benefits of working with us…
- Hours to suit you. We normally have most of our bookings around lunchtime, so you can work for either a couple of hours or the longer days to suit your schedule.
- No weekend work. Almost all our bookings are Monday – Friday, so you won’t be asked to work weekends. However if you want to do it, there is a limited amount of weekend work available that pays special enhanced rates.
- Paid weekly every Friday or Saturday directly into your bank account.
How it works…
You will be working as a self-employed sub-contractor, so you’ll be your own boss. We ask you what days and times you would like to work and we will mark you as available on our website between those times. Our booking software knows how many walkers are available at any given time and allows clients to book accordingly. Any bookings we receive for the times you are available to work will be allocated to either you or other walkers based on travelling distance and a fair split of the work available. You can choose how far you are willing to travel to a job, so you can either work locally or also accept walks from further afield. You will need your own transport to get to and from jobs and also a smartphone with a data connection to use our diary and walk tracking software.
You would be paid for each booking you do. We collect payment from our clients through the website when they book, so you don’t have to handle or carry any cash. To get paid you just send us an invoice at the end of each week for the work you’ve done and we pay you directly into your bank account, usually the same day. You get 75% of the value of each booking. For example, if one of our client makes a 30 minute booking for one dog they would pay us £10 and you would receive £7.50. Because you would be working on a percentage, if our prices go up then your 75% share automatically increases too.
How much work can you expect?
Because you can choose your own hours, the work avaiable can vary considerably. You will get more work if you can work over lunchtime that you would if you can only work early mornings or late afternoons. We allocate the available jobs based on the number of jobs you’ve already done, punctuality and client feedback amongst other things. The more walks you do, the more you will be offered. The most important thing to remember is…
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ANY JOB OFFERED TO YOU WITHIN THE TIMES YOU HAVE TOLD US YOU CAN WORK
AND
WITHIN THE AREAS YOU HAVE TOLD US YOU CAN TRAVEL TO.
