SalaryDo you love dogs? Are you home-based? Could you care for a dog in your home whilst the owner is away?
How does it work?
You will usually look after one or two dogs from one household at a time whilst their owners go on holiday. You will look after the dog/s as if they were your own so the dog gets their own holiday too!
Ideal for
