Offer what suits your week

Most Pet Nannies start with one service and add more once the enquiries come in. Rates below are what owners around the UK typically pay.

Dog walking

Solo or small group walks, thirty to sixty minutes, rain or shine.

£14 to £18 an hour

Drop-in visits

Feeding, fresh water, a bit of fuss and a photo sent home.

£12 to £16 a visit

Home boarding

The pet stays at yours overnight. A council licence is needed for this.

£28 to £45 a night

House sitting

You stay at theirs, so the pet never leaves its own sofa.

£40 to £65 a night

Pet bathing

Wash, dry and brush out, at your place or theirs.

£20 to £35 a session

Pet taxi

Lifts to the vet, the groomer or the kennels and back again.

£15 to £30 a journey

Pet friend and play

Company, play and enrichment for pets who hate being alone.

£12 to £16 an hour

Puppy and kitten care

Toilet breaks, socialising and settling a new arrival in.

£14 to £20 a visit
Why Pet Nannies stay

Money that fits round your life, not the other way round

Your lunch hour is already worth £16.

A forty minute walk before work, a cat fed on your way home, a puppy visit while you work from home. Pet Nannies earn in the gaps that were going spare anyway.

Clients within walking distance

Owners search by postcode, so the enquiries that reach you come from streets you already know.

Say no without a penalty

No acceptance rates, no rankings punishing you for a quiet fortnight. Work the weeks you want to work.

Your licences get you noticed

Tell us if you hold a council boarding licence, insurance or canine first aid. Pet Nannies who do get noticeably more enquiries.

Real weeks, real money

People who found the gap in their week

"I was walking my own two anyway. Now I take three more with me and it covers the weekly shop. Took me one evening to set up."

"Two cat visits a day on my way to and from the office. It is fifteen minutes each and it pays for the car."

The questions everyone asks

Still stuck? Email nannies@leashh.com and a real person will answer.

Do I need qualifications or experience?
For walking, drop-in visits, companionship and pet taxi work, no formal qualification is required. What owners care about is that you write honestly about the animals you are confident with, and that you turn up. If you plan to board animals in your own home you will need a licence from your council, and grooming customers usually look for a recognised qualification.
Will I need a licence?
If you board dogs overnight in your home, or run day care for dogs as a business, you will usually need an animal activity licence from your local council. Rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, so check with your own council first. Walking, drop-in visits and sitting in the owner's home do not normally need one. Tell us about any licence you hold when you sign up.
Am I employed by Leashh?
No. Pet Nannies are self employed. You choose your own clients, set your own prices, work the hours you want and are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance. HMRC offers a trading allowance for small amounts of self employed income, so check the current threshold and your own position with HMRC or an accountant.
How and when do I get paid?
Directly by the owner, in whatever way suits you both. Leashh introduces you and does not sit in the middle of the money, so there is no platform commission, no payout schedule and no waiting a fortnight for your own earnings.
Does Leashh book the work for me?
No, and that is deliberate. There is no diary, no shift allocation and no cancellation penalty. Owners near you find your profile and message you, then the two of you agree what happens. You keep full control of what you take on.
What will you ask me for?
Your name, mobile and email first, then a code from your inbox so we know the address is real. After that, your postcode, what you want to offer, what you charge and a few lines about yourself. There are no documents to upload and no ID check at sign-up.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing. Signing up, verifying your ID and keeping your profile listed are all free. There is no monthly fee and no charge per enquiry.
Is my home address shown to owners?
Never. We do not even ask for it. We take your postcode so owners can see you are nearby, and they see your first name, your photo, your profile and an approximate area. Nothing more.
Do I need insurance?
It is not compulsory, but public liability and care, custody and control cover is inexpensive and most experienced Pet Nannies carry it. Say so when you sign up. Pet Nannies who carry it get noticeably more enquiries.

The dogs are already out there.
So is the money.

About five minutes to sign up. Free to list. Two million pet owners waiting to find someone exactly like you.
