Why Walkies UK
A better way to work with dogs
We take care of the admin, the bookings and the payments — so you can focus on the dogs.
Work on your terms
Set your own availability and choose the walks that fit around your life. You're in control.
Get paid weekly
We handle bookings and payments. Money lands in your account every week, automatically.
Walk local
Take on dogs in your own neighbourhood. Less travel, more tail wags.
Fully supported
Insurance, the app, customer support and marketing are all handled for you.
Do what you love
Spend your days outdoors with dogs instead of stuck behind a desk.
Grow your clients
Great reviews mean repeat bookings and a loyal client base you build over time.
Your earnings
Fair, transparent pay — no hidden cuts
You keep 70% of every booking. Walkies UK takes 30% — and we're upfront about exactly what that covers.
On a £14 walk, that's £9.80 to you and £4.20 to Walkies UK. Our 30% covers:
- the booking platform & walker app
- public liability & pet care insurance
- secure payment processing
- customer support
- marketing to bring you local bookings

How rates work:to keep pricing fair and simple for customers, Walkies UK sets standard service rates across the platform (from £14 per walk). You don't haggle or chase invoices — you choose your hours and coverage area, and we handle the rest. As a brand-new platform we're investing heavily in marketing your area; early walkers start with a few bookings a week and grow as we bring on more local customers.

approx.
Estimate based on you keeping 70% of a £14 30-minute walk (£10per walk). 60-minute walks, puppy visits and pet sitting pay more, so many walkers earn above this. Earnings depend on local demand, which we're actively building in your area.
