Some animals are high maintenance and generally you will need to clean up after them and occasionally administer medicine, but on a day to day basis it\u2019s quite a low-stress, high-reward job.<\/p>\n<p>You can be self-employed, set up a doggy day care on weekends, or you can get up and running using one of many pet-sitting platforms. That means the requirements depend largely on the end client rather than a single employer \u2013 some may prefer someone older, some may want someone who can be with their pet during the daytime, but everyone will want someone who is naturally caring and good with animals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-17954 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/kitten-g41e81b089_1280-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>22. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adzuna.co.uk\/jobs\/receptionist\/part-time\">Receptionist<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Average salary: \u00a323,723 (\u00a39.50\/hour)<\/p>\n<p>Advertised vacancies: 2,952<\/p>\n<p>Requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent administrative and customer service skills<\/li>\n<li>Basic IT skills and previous experience working with booking or payment systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Picking up part-time work as a receptionist, perhaps at a hotel or clinic, is generally low stress and you can likely find businesses in need of evening and weekend cover &#8211; shifts that permanent workers generally won\u2019t want to volunteer for.
