Job Overview

Happy Tails is hiring dependable, animal-loving Pet Care Specialists (Dog Walkers) to provide weekday dog walking and pet care visits during core midday hours, with limited flexibility for additional shifts.

This is a W-2 employee role with structured scheduling, predictable recurring routes, and strong team support.

We operate on set, recurring schedules only — this role is ideal for candidates seeking consistent daytime work rather than fluctuating hours.

Our team-based model ensures consistent coverage for clients while offering stable, reliable work for employees.

Core Availability Requirement

We are hiring for 3–5 weekdays per week during our peak demand shift:

Monday–Friday | 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Same days each week (no rotating availability)
3–5 days/week required

Ability to work additional shifts such as:

8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM

is a strong plus, as pet sitting needs vary seasonally.

Conditional Shift Requirement

In addition to core availability, employees must commit to:

One Conditional Shift per week (on a recurring schedule, ideally).

Conditional shifts may include:

Saturday or Sunday | 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Saturday or Sunday | 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Conditional shifts are paid at $20/hour
May be shortened or called off if client demand is low

Duties

Walk dogs of all sizes during assigned shifts
Complete drop-by pet care visits (feeding, medications, home care tasks)
Follow client instructions and daily routines
Use the Time To Pet app for GPS check-ins and client communication
Provide safe, positive handling and outdoor exercise
Maintain professionalism with clients and internal staff

Compensation & Benefits

$17–$20/hour
Starting wage of $17/hour, with opportunities to earn up to $20/hour through tenure and leadership roles (team leads, trainers, schedule support)
Participation in a tip pool, averaging an additional $2-4/hour
Paid training
Growth opportunities within a supportive, team-based company
Eligibility for leadership roles and higher pay begins after 6 months, based on performance, reliability, and company needs.

Requirements

Availability for 3–5 weekday shifts (10:00 AM – 3:00 PM)
Willingness to commit to one recurring conditional shift per week
Reliable, insured transportation
Live within or near our Columbus service areas: New Albany, Westerville, Worthington, Dublin, Columbus, Grove City, Hilliard, Upper Arlington, Grandview, Gahanna
Comfortable walking dogs in all weather
Able to handle dogs of various breeds and sizes
Smartphone required for app use
Strong communication and reliability
Must pass a background check
