Summary

Three people from Nottingham have applied to WoofWalk so far and two have set up walking businesses in NG postcodes, one with prices from £10 a walk. We want five more so that owners across the city have a walker close by.

WoofWalk is a UK app that matches dog owners with a local walker or sitter. You are self-employed: it is your business, with your prices, your hours and your choice of bookings. Owners book and pay through the app and you are paid out. We do not employ you, do not pay a wage and do not guarantee work.

Nottingham prices on public listings: half-hour walks £10 to £18, typically £12.50; home visits around £12; home boarding about £35 a night. Those are the market, not our rule.

Wollaton Park, Colwick Country Park, Attenborough Nature Reserve, Highfields and Bulwell Hall Park are the regular grounds. Wollaton asks for dogs on leads through the deer park during the autumn rut, which is now.

Money side: free to join. No commission for 14 days, then 15% of each booking, dropping to 10% for life once five clients have joined through you. You pay your own tax and National Insurance and carry your own insurance.

Students at either university with free mornings do well at this, as do parents with the school day free. Over 18.
