Frequently asked questions

What is the quickest way to find dog walking jobs near me in the Netherlands?
Set your the Netherlands coverage area when you build your profile, and dog walking requests come from owners inside it. Near me is something you define here rather than something you search, and you can change the areas whenever your availability does.
Do I have to choose between dog walking and drop-in visits in the Netherlands?
Choose as many services as you want to cover. In the Netherlands, dog walking and drop-in visits sit side by side on one profile with separate rates, so a quiet week in one does not mean a quiet week overall.
