Do you love dogs and want to earn extra income?

Become a host and turn your love of dogs into a flexible income by providing loving home-from-home care 

If you enjoy being around dogs and can offer a calm, safe home environment, this could be a lovely way to earn an income while doing something you genuinely enjoy — with guidance and support from us along the way. 

What we are looking for

We take the time to find the right people to join our team, ensuring every dog receives safe, calm and high-quality care.

We’re looking for like-minded individuals who genuinely care about dogs and want to provide a relaxed, home-from-home environment.

You’ll be someone who is:

  • Calm, patient and reliable

  • Attentive to each dog’s individual needs

  • Happy to follow guidance and maintain high standards

  • Communicative and professional with owners

  • Passionate about creating a safe and positive experience for every dog

  • You must be over 18

Experience with dogs is helpful, whether personal or professional — but just as important is your attitude, willingness to learn, and commitment to doing things properly.

What could you earn?

This is the income that you could expect to earn:

Home boarding: £25 per dog for every 24-hour booking

Doggy daycare: 70% of the booking fee

 

Example:

A standard £25 daycare booking 9.30-5.30 means £17.50 for you.

If you care for two dogs, that's £35 for the day.

What you will need

To join the team, you’ll need:

  • A suitable home environment for dogs

  • A secure garden

  • To be over 18 

  • Time to provide consistent care and supervision

You’ll also need to be willing to meet any relevant requirements, such as:

  • Local council licensing reviews

  • Willingness for training  

We’ll guide you through this process so you feel confident and supported.

What you'll receive

By joining Pawsitive Retreat, you’ll become part of a supportive, friendly and growing team.

You’ll benefit from:

  • The opportunity to build a steady income over time
    • Support, guidance and training

    • Flexibility to work around your lifestyle

    • Being part of a business that values calm, quality care

    • We cover the cost of your insurance, council licencing costs and Health & Safety equipment

    Why join us?

    We’re building something a little different.

    Our focus is on creating a team of trusted boarders who provide:

    • Calm, safe and structured home environments

    • Thoughtful, individual care for every dog

    • Positive experiences that owners can trust

    We believe dogs thrive best in environments where they feel relaxed and understood — and that’s exactly what we aim to provide.

    How do I apply?

    If you have read all the information above and think you would be a good fit for the team, please send an email to stay@pawsitive-retreat.com and tell us a bit about yourself along with your contact details.
