Summary
WoofWalk is a booking app for dog owners across the UK. We're opening in Tamworth and want up to three self-employed walkers based around the town, including Amington, Wilnecote, Glascote and Fazeley, and around Tamworth Castle Grounds and Broadmeadow Nature Reserve.
This is not a job with a wage, and there are no guaranteed bookings. You run your own small walking business through the app: you choose your prices, days and 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: free to join. No commission for your first 14 days, then 15% of each booking, falling to 10% once five of your own clients join. Clients you bring yourself pay the lower rate from their first booking. You handle your own tax, National Insurance and insurance.
We'll help you set up: send us your area, days and price and we'll draft your profile for you to check. Already walking dogs? Bring your clients and run bookings, payments and GPS-tracked walks in one app.
You need to be over 18, comfortable walking in all weathers, and willing to meet each owner and dog first. Apply through Find a Job and let us know which part of Tamworth you can cover.
