My latest extra job

Hardup_Hester

I've just been accepted as a dog host, it pay's £9 a day for 1 dog & an extra £6 is I take 2 at a time. I needed an enclosed garden, no small children & no other cats or dogs. The owners provide food, treats, bowls, toys etc & it's best if you aren't out of the house for more than 4 hours at a time. I shall do it during the school holidays as I only work 3 hours a day then & can, if I choose, take the dog to work with me.

Aww thats fab I am sure you and the doggys will have a great time.

I was seriously considering this a while ago but as I have four cats and two dogs - one of which can be a real mardy mare :rolleyes: it just wasnt workable.

Good luck!

Hi, where do you sign up for such a things?
And can you have them only over the weekends, like for example when the owners go away??

Well done! What a fab plan!
Would be my worst nightmare (I'm terrified of dogs!), if only you could cat host!

Ashleigh - you can!! Cat owners want someone to look after their pets too....!

Have a look in your local phone book for Animal boarding.

There is a company in Gloucestershire advertising at the moment for dog minders - but I don't think my dog would be very welcoming of another in the house...!!

I understand there's somebody local to me that "rents" dogs out a few hours or a day or so at a time. Now, if I could just act as middleman, get paid x 2, everyone's a winner...

Hi Any
My job was advertised in the local paper, but it's probably worth checking the yellow pages for any companys near you.

Can you tell me what sort of insurance do you need to start doing this please?

Wouldn't the dog find it a bit confusing to have lots of different owners?
It is a living creature after all, not like a car you can hire.
