Do you love animals, enjoy being outside, and feel good knowing people can count on you?
At Walden Pet Services, we believe pet care should feel personal, joyful, and dependable – for both pets and the people who care for them.
- We’re a long-standing local pet care company (serving Concord, Carlisle, Maynard, Acton, and Lincoln, MA since 1998!) made up of animal lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and genuinely kind humans.
- We value clear communication, showing up when you say you will, and building real relationships with pets and their people.
- Yes, we take our work seriously – but we also laugh a lot, spend our days outside, and get paid to hang out with some pretty great dogs and cats.
- We’re looking for dedicated dog walkers and genuine pet lovers to join our team on a part-time basis. If you’ve cared for animals and want to learn more, we’ve got the training covered.
