A flexible job you run around your life
This is in-person work, but you control it like your own business: your hours, your clients, your rate. Fit it around a day job, studies, or other gigs across Ireland.
Walk around your day job
Take an early-morning walk before work, a lunchtime loop, or an after-work round. No fixed shifts and no manager handing you slots. Accept the requests that suit your week and decline the rest.
Self-employed, not a shift worker
You run your own dog-walking round on Petme. You pick every booking, set your own rate, and answer to the owner, not a dispatcher. The closest thing to a local walking business without the admin.
Start as a side income, scale when ready
Plenty of Irish walkers start with a few walks a week alongside another job or their studies, then add boarding, daycare, and drop-ins as their regular clients grow.
Earn on your terms, keep up to 90%
No shift rosters, no platform-set pricing, no minimum hours. You control the rate, the work, and the schedule, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs.
€12 to €22 per walk
Typical 30 to 60 minute walk rates across Ireland. Dublin sits at the upper end, with smaller cities a little lower. You set your own rate. You keep up to 90%.
Choose your own routes
No assigned routes. Walk where you know the parks, the quiet streets, and the off-lead spots. Most walkers build 2 to 3 regular routes near home and grow from there.
Protection Plan up to €20,000
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs for the dog in your care. If something goes wrong on a walk, the Protection Plan can contribute to eligible costs. 0% for owners.
Built for Irish sitters and walkers
Owner cashback keeps your clients rebooking, your social profile gets you found, and fast 2-day payouts mean you are paid soon after each booking, and owners have a Protection Plan of up to €20,000 for eligible vet costs.
Per-walk earnings, your rate
You set your rate per walk. No platform-dictated pricing. You keep up to 90% per walk, more than most Irish walking platforms leave you with.
Recurring clients built in
Owners earn cashback on every Petme booking, so they have a reason to rebook with you. Many active Irish walkers build a steady base of regulars who book the same dogs week after week.
A profile that gets you found
Petme is social, not just a directory. Post your walks to a feed Irish pet parents follow, so owners book the real person behind the profile. Active walkers get found and rebooked far more often.
