Summary

Dog owners across the UK use the WoofWalk app to book and pay a walker nearby. Within the past two weeks a Guildford owner asked a local group for a walker and the app had no one within twenty-five kilometres to suggest, so we want up to three self-employed walkers across Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Onslow Village and Shalford, with Stoke Park, the Wey towpath, Pewley Down and Newlands Corner for the walks themselves.

Let us be straight: no wage, no guaranteed bookings. It is your own walking business, run through the app, and you alone decide prices, days and territory. Owners book and pay in the app; the money goes to your bank.

Price-wise, about 200 WoofWalk listings in October 2026 charged £12 to £28 for an hour's solo walk, and the typical figure was £18. Guildford walkers may well charge more; the choice is yours.

How WoofWalk makes its money: joining is free, your first 14 days are commission-free, and then it keeps 15% of each booking. Once five of your own clients have joined, that falls to 10% and stays there, and anyone you bring in yourself pays the 10% rate from their first booking. Your tax return, National Insurance and insurance cover are your own concern, not WoofWalk's.

Send your patch, days and price and we will draft a profile for you to approve. If you already have clients, bring them across and keep bookings, payments and GPS-tracked walks in a single app.

Applicants must be over 18, untroubled by Surrey mud, and willing to meet each owner and dog first. Apply through Find a Job and say which part of Guildford you can cover.
