ZEN DOG — EXPERIENCED DRIVER & DOG WALKER WANTED

We're looking for a reliable, confident and experienced driver who genuinely loves being on the road, as well as having a natural love for dogs.

Location: Hampstead, North London & surrounding areas, including Central London
Hours: 7am–1pm, Monday–Friday, with potential overtime and occasional weekend cover
Pay: £15 per hour + additional pay for overnight boarding
Employment: Self-employed
Vehicle: Company vehicle provided, with fuel and parking covered.

About the role

Driving is a major part of this position. You'll spend a significant amount of your working day collecting and transporting dogs between their homes, walking locations and drop-off points.

You'll be driving throughout Hampstead and surrounding areas, including busy London roads and occasionally Central London. You'll need to be comfortable navigating London's roads, handling rush-hour traffic, dealing with tight residential streets and parking in busy areas.

A typical day involves:

Collecting dogs from their homes from around 7am.
Driving to Hampstead Heath or Kenwood House for group walks.
Walking up to four dogs for 1–2 hours.
Safely transporting dogs between collections, walks and their homes.
Repeating the process throughout the morning.
About you

Driving experience is particularly important to us. We're looking for someone who:

Genuinely enjoys driving and is happy spending several hours a day behind the wheel.
Has substantial driving experience and is confident driving in London.
Is comfortable navigating rush-hour traffic, busy roads, narrow residential streets and Central London.
Has a good understanding of London's road network and can navigate independently.
Is confident parking and manoeuvring in tight or busy spaces.
Holds a full, clean UK driving licence with no penalty points.
Is patient, calm and confident when dealing with challenging driving conditions.
Is happy driving longer distances when required.
Alongside driving, you'll need to be:

A genuine dog lover with previous experience handling dogs.
Confident managing multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments.
Attentive to dogs with individual needs, including elderly or injured dogs.
Physically fit and happy walking long distances in all weather.
Reliable, responsible and able to work independently.
Friendly and confident when communicating with clients.
Based locally in or around Hampstead.
Able to provide a clean, safe and suitable home environment for occasional dog boarding.
Professional dog-walking experience is preferred, but we're particularly interested in finding someone with strong driving experience who is also genuinely comfortable and confident around dogs.

This role would suit someone who loves driving just as much as they love dogs.
