Newcastle upon Tyne pet sitter: home visits and house sitting at your prices

Three self-employed pet sitters wanted in Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding Tyneside postcodes. This is separate from our walking advert: a sitter looks after a dog in the owner's own home while the owner is away, rather than taking it out for an hour.

What it involves

daily drop-ins for food, water, any medication, a toilet break and a walk, or overnight house sitting over a weekend or a week. Owners leave a routine and keys; you leave the house as you found it and send a short update each day. This kind of cover is usually a few days of work travel or a week's holiday.

Local sitters list a home visit publicly at about £13 and a night of home boarding at about £35. Those are their prices, not ours. In WoofWalk you set your own price per visit and per night. Having dogs stay in your own home is home boarding, a separate service in the app, and it needs a licence from your council before you accept a booking.

WoofWalk is a UK booking app for dog owners, not an employer.

You are self-employed

no wage, no guaranteed bookings, and you choose which jobs to take. Owners book and pay through the app and the money is paid out to your bank. Nothing to pay to join; no commission for the first 14 days, then 15% per booking, falling to 10% for life once five of your own clients have joined through you. Your own tax, National Insurance and insurance.
