Love dogs? Earn money and help out local dog owners with walks and overnight stays

I've been milling about on here and playing around with matched betting and stuff like that - and i've entered competitions on the various sites and yet to win anything!

I signed up to one of the tailster.com competitions to win some dog goodies for my dog Monty - he is still as unlucky as me!!

What I did notice was that they offered a way of me finding the right person to take care of Monty when I need to go on holiday or need someone to take him for a couple of weeks - looks interesting being able to find people nearby who can take care of dogs.

I've been asked if I would be willing to help others walk their dogs and be paid for it and thought it would be great to be paid a tenner an hour for some walks -

Popped this in here for any dog lovers who might be interested in making some more income to look after dogs - not sure how much you can make but I do see dog walkers walking 5 dogs at a time in the local park so they must be doing alright!

I talk to a lot of local dog walkers while out with mine & several of them have started by advertising on facebook, that way nobody wanting 15% of your earnings.(Obviously you have to register as SE & pay NI & tax on earnings if applicable)

You can get insurance & also do a basic DBS check on yourself now.

I post her page to selling groups every now and again. license £100ish from council for the dog boarding. She paid for a special check crb or whatever its called now ans he has insurance.

She is now at the point of being to busy and has to turn people away.
