Summary

WoofWalk is a booking app for dog owners across the UK. We're opening in Middlesbrough and want up to ten self-employed walkers based around the town, including Acklam, Linthorpe, Nunthorpe, Marton and Coulby Newham, and around Albert Park and Stewart Park.

This is not a job with a wage, and we can't guarantee any bookings. You run your own small dog walking business through the app. You choose your prices, your days and your patch, owners book and pay through the app, and the money goes to your bank.

Walkers on WoofWalk choose their own prices. Across about 200 listings in October 2026, an hour's solo walk is typically listed at £12 to £28, with £18 the middle price. These are other walkers' prices, not a wage.

Terms, plainly: joining is free. You pay no commission for your first 14 days, then 15% of each booking, which falls to 10% once five of your own clients join. Any client you bring yourself pays the lower rate from their first booking. Your own tax, National Insurance and insurance are your responsibility.

Setting up is easy with our help: send us your area, days and price and we'll draft your profile for you to check. If you already walk dogs, bring your clients and manage bookings, payments and GPS-tracked walks in one app.

You must be over 18, happy to walk in all weathers, and willing to meet each owner and dog first. Apply through Find a Job and say which part of Middlesbrough you can cover.
