Got a dog? Why not get that little pooch a job that could really up the doggy snack game.
One of the UK’s leading marketplaces for holiday rentals, Snaptrip.com, is recruiting two dogs to travel across the UK with their owners as Furrfluencers.
The Furrfluences will be required to review 10-holiday properties over 12 months. They must judge each one on the following criteria: dog enjoyment, dog practicality, access to local walks and dog-friendly establishments like pubs and garden space.
The job role will include the Furrfluencer’s owner taking stylish photographs of the pooch enjoying itself at each property. Also, the local area. Then they must write a 500 word minimum, honest review detailing their experience. SnapTrip will upload this to its site.
Snaptrip.com is looking to recruit one young dog and one older dog, so that the property reviews are an accurate representation of all dogs and their experiences.
The company hopes the Furrfluencer review system will act as a benchmark for dog-friendly properties on its site, and help customers better pick a holiday rental that fits their own and their furry friend’s needs.
Must be comfortable travelling
Must be either 6 months to 3 years old or 4 years to 10 years old
Must be in good health
Must be comfortable in front of the camera and photogenic
Must have an eye for detail and impeccable taste
Matt Fox, CEO and co-founder of Snaptrip.com, said,
“We have over 30,000 dog-friendly cottages, and we thought who better to review these places than the animals who are going to be enjoying them! Many dog-owners pick accommodation based on whether they think it’s suitable for their pet, so we think a potential Furrfluencer review system will be really helpful to our customers.
“Whether they want a chilled countryside retreat for their aging labrador, or an active fun-packed break for their bouncy cockapoo, Snaptrip.com customers will be able to read an actual dog’s experience of a holiday rental to decide whether it’s the perfect place for them and their pet.”
A great opportunity.
