Summary

WoofWalk is a UK booking app for dog owners, and we're launching in Rochdale. We're looking for up to five self-employed walkers covering different parts of the town, such as Littleborough, Milnrow, Heywood and Castleton, and around Springfield Park and Hollingworth Lake.

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 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 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 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 Rochdale you can cover.
