Shoreditch dogs have seen it all: food trucks, film crews, a man walking a ferret. They still want their walk. Walk dogs in Shoreditch with Seekies, a new on-demand dog walking app in London: one household at a time, on the walks you choose, paid every week.
Your patch
Shoreditch is a small patch with a lot of dogs in it: flats above shops, warehouse conversions and the estates around Arnold Circus, mostly without gardens, so the walk is the dog’s outdoors.
Hoxton Square and Pitfield Street, Arnold Circus and the Boundary Estate, Columbia Road, Hackney Road, Kingsland Road up to Haggerston, and south to Spitalfields and Whitechapel on the E1 side.
A morning in Shoreditch can be three walks without a bus: a 30-minute walk from a flat on Hoxton Street to Shoreditch Park, a 20-minute loop of Arnold Circus with a French bulldog off Calvert Avenue, then an hour on the canal and Haggerston Park with a young spaniel from Columbia Road.
Hoxton, Haggerston and Shoreditch High Street are on the Overground, Old Street is on the Northern line, and the 55, 243 and 394 buses join it all up. Most walkers here walk between doors.
Walkers here usually start from E2, E1, N1, EC2 and E8. You set your own starting postcode and how far you will travel when you apply, and you only see walks inside that.

Pay
Home visits pay by type and length, from £8.50 for a 20-minute cat check-in. Paid per walk, not per hour: per hour of walking that works out at £24 (one hour-long walk) to £36 (three 20-minute walks). Time travelling between walks is not paid.
Paid every week, shown before you accept. Walkers are self-employed.
