Dog Boarding Host (Work From Home) Love dogs? Looking to earn extra income from home?
We Love Pets Crystal Palace is looking for caring, reliable and responsible dog lovers to welcome friendly dogs into their homes while their owners are away, providing a loving, home-from-home alternative to kennels.
This is a rewarding role that's perfect for someone who loves the companionship of dogs but doesn't necessarily want the full-time commitment of owning one.
Before applying, please ensure you meet all of the following essential requirements:
✔ You have a dog-friendly home with direct access to a secure, fully enclosed private garden (a requirement for home boarding licensing).
✔ You are at home for the majority of the day, as visiting dogs should not be left alone for extended periods. This role is not suitable for people who work full-time away from home.
✔Everyone in your household is happy to have dogs staying in the home.
✔ You genuinely love dogs and feel confident caring for them in your own home.
✔ You do not have any pets that would make home boarding unsuitable.
Please only apply if you meet all of the essential requirements listed above. Some of these are licensing requirements for home boarding, while others help us ensure we provide the safest and highest standard of care for every dog entrusted to us.
What you'll do
- Provide a safe, loving, home-from-home experience for dogs staying in your home.
- Follow each dog's individual routine, including feeding, walks, rest and medication (where required).
- Give dogs plenty of companionship, attention and enrichment throughout their stay.
- Maintain a safe, calm and welcoming environment where dogs feel relaxed and comfortable.
- Keep in regular contact with your local We Love Pets manager and report any concerns promptly.
Pay & Benefits
- £35 per night for the first dog.
- An additional 50% (£17.50) per night for each additional dog from the same household.
- Reimbursement for reasonable expenses where applicable (such as treats or supplies).
- Full training, insurance and licensing provided.
- Ongoing support and guidance from your local We Love Pets team.
- Enjoy the companionship of wonderful dogs without the full-time commitment of ownership.
- Become part of a friendly and supportive community of pet lovers.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Kind, caring and dependable.
- Calm, patient and attentive to each dog's individual needs.
- Happy to follow pet owners' care instructions carefully.
- Comfortable communicating with both pet owners and your local manager.
- Proud to provide an exceptional standard of care.
