Summary
Twice in the past fortnight a dog owner on this stretch of the north Wales coast asked a local group for a walker, and WoofWalk, a UK app where owners book and pay walkers near them, had nobody within twenty-five kilometres to offer. So we are opening Colwyn Bay to up to three self-employed walkers covering Rhos-on-Sea, Old Colwyn, Mochdre and Llandudno Junction, with Eirias Park, Pwllycrochan Woods, Bryn Euryn and the promenade for the walks.
Read this part carefully: there is no wage here and no guaranteed bookings. You would be trading on your own account, using the app to run a small walking round whose prices, hours and boundaries you decide. Payment comes from the owner, through the app, into your bank.
For a sense of the market, about 200 WoofWalk listings in October 2026 charged between £12 and £28 for an hour's solo walk, and £18 came up most often. We mention it only so you can place yourself.
Joining is free, and your first 14 days carry no commission. From day fifteen WoofWalk keeps 15% of each booking until five clients of your own have joined, when it drops to 10% and stays there. Anyone you introduce pays the 10% rate from their first booking. Tax, National Insurance and insurance remain your own responsibility.
Reply with the area, the days and the price you have in mind and a draft profile will come back for you to approve. Walkers with a client list already can bring it across and keep bookings, payments and GPS-tracked walks in one place.
Over 18, used to sea winds, and willing to meet each owner and dog before the first walk. Apply through Find a Job and tell us whether the Bay, Rhos or Old Colwyn is home ground.
