Would you like to spend more time with animals and get paid for it? We're looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet lover to join our team of dog walkers and pet sitters. This is a wonderful position for anyone looking for supplemental income (e.g. people with part-time jobs, stay-at-home moms with older children, retired individuals, and part-time college students with availability during the day). The opportunity to spend all day loving on dogs and cats is a nice perk, too!

- Provide sufficient potty breaks and/or clean litter boxes.
- Administer any prescribed pet medications (as requested).
- Provide care, play and plenty of love and attention to clients’ pets.
- Submit online service reports at every visit for clients to review.
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
- Must love pets and have previous pet care experience.
- Must be detail-oriented, organized, and have excellent time management skills.
- Must be able to respond to stressful situations with tact and in a manner that does not alarm clients, veterinary medical professionals, or pets.
- Must hold a valid driver's license and have unrestricted access to a reliable vehicle.
- Must be willing to undergo a comprehensive criminal background check.
- Must have a flexible schedule and be willing to work weekends and holidays.
- Must be able to walk dogs and be outdoors in all weather conditions.
