Summary

WoofWalk is a UK booking app for dog owners, and we're launching in Chesterfield. We're looking for up to five self-employed walkers covering different parts of the town, such as Brampton, Hasland, Whittington Moor, Newbold and Walton, and around Queen's Park and Holmebrook Valley Park.

To be clear, this is not a job with a wage, and bookings are not guaranteed. You run your own small walking business through the app: you pick your prices, days and patch, owners book and pay in the app, and the money goes to your bank.

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

The terms, plainly: it is free to join. There is 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 are responsible for your own tax, National Insurance and insurance.

We'll help you get started: tell us your area, days and price and we'll draft your profile for you to check. Already walking dogs? Bring your own 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 Chesterfield you can cover.
