Dog walking pay in London, answered
How much do dog walkers earn in London?
With Seekies, £12 for a 20-minute walk, £16 for a 30-minute walk and £24 for an hour, paid every week.
How much do dog walkers earn per hour in London?
Seekies pays per walk, not per hour. An hour-long walk pays £24. With travel between doors, plan on about one and a half 30-minute walks an hour, which is about £24 of walks, when walks are close together. A quiet hour pays nothing, so walking near home makes the biggest difference.
How often are dog walkers paid?
Every week.
Is the pay the same across London?
Yes. Hackney, Battersea or Highbury, the rates don’t change.
Do I see the pay before I accept a walk?
Yes. Every offer shows the length, the distance and the pay.
What does a week look like?
These are illustrations, not promises:
- six 30-minute walks across a few lunchtimes: £96 before tax
- three 30-minute walks every weekday: £240 before tax
- two hour-long and two 30-minute walks every weekday: £400 before tax
What comes off?
You’re self-employed, so the figures above are before tax and National Insurance, which you pay through Self Assessment. Your phone, data and travel are your own costs.
Are there tips, bonuses or guaranteed hours?
No. We don’t promise a minimum number of walks, tips or bonuses. Seekies opens area by area, so how many walks there are depends on what’s booked near you.
What do cat visits and drop-ins pay?
Home visits pay by type and length:
- a cat check-in pays £8.50 for 20 minutes or £10.50 for 30
- a drop-in feed pays £9.20 or £11.30
- home company pays £12.70 for 30 minutes or £19.80 for an hour
Every offer shows its pay before you accept.
