Reading dog sitter and house sitter, self-employed: Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley and beyond

Reading people travel, for work and for holidays, and their dogs stay behind. WoofWalk is a UK app where owners find, book and pay local pet carers, and we need three self-employed sitters in Reading to stand in at the owner's home. Walking is a different advert; this one is for someone who will keep a household running for a dog.

Your day could be a visit at breakfast and another at teatime, or a weekend of overnights in a Caversham terrace. You feed, tidy up after, play, administer tablets if asked and tell the owner how it went. Tilehurst, Earley, Woodley and the streets round Prospect Park and the Thames Path are the kind of places to work.

There is no wage here and no guaranteed bookings; you work on your own account. Name your price for each visit and each night. Owners pay through the app, and your bank receives your share.





Taking a dog into your own house to sleep is home boarding, which needs a council licence before you begin and sits as a separate service in the app. Staying in the owner's house needs none.

Costs: none to join, nothing for the first 14 days, then 15% on each booking until five clients of your own have joined, when it becomes 10% permanently. Clients you recruit yourself start on 10%.

Money set aside for tax, plus National Insurance and the insurance you choose, is something you organise. Be over 18, and meet owner and pet before the first booking.

A genuine love of animals and confidence caring for them on your own. Dependable and respectful in other people's homes. Able to manage your own schedule. A smartphone to run the app.
