Dog Walker & Pet Care Specialist (Weekday Daytime)

Get Paid to Spend Your Day Outdoors With Dogs

Do you genuinely enjoy dogs, being active, and having independence in your workday?

Buffalo Dog Walkers hiring a dependable, professional Dog Walker & Pet Care Specialist to join our growing team. This is a real W-2 employee position with consistent daytime hours, supportive management, long-term clients, and opportunities to grow — not app-based gig work like Rover or Wag.

Our team provides trusted daily care for busy professionals and families who rely on us to care for their pets while they’re at work or away. We’re looking for someone who takes that responsibility seriously while also enjoying the fun, active side of working with animals every day.

If you love dogs, enjoy working independently, and want a job that keeps you moving instead of sitting behind a desk, this can be an incredibly rewarding role.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll travel between client homes throughout the day providing services such as:

Dog walking
Puppy visits & playtime
Cat care visits
Feeding, fresh water, medications, and companionship
Occasional vacation pet sitting visits

You’ll use our scheduling app to view your route, complete visits, and send updates/photos to clients after each appointment.

Most of your workday is spent independently outdoors with animals.

Schedule

We are specifically hiring for weekday daytime availability.

Availability needed:

9am–2pm or
10am–3pm

Position Details:

10–20 hours per week
Monday–Friday daytime availability required
One weekend per month required
Must be comfortable working outdoors year-round
City of Buffalo and surrounding suburbs

This role works especially well for people seeking a consistent part-time daytime schedule with independence and flexibility built into the day.

Pay & Benefits

$17.50–$19.50/hour effective pay (including bonuses & average tips)
Client tips
Paid drive time between visits
Reliability & attendance bonuses
W-2 employee status
Paid Pet First Aid / CPR certification
Supportive team environment
Growth opportunities within the company

Who Does Well Here

The people who thrive on our team are typically:

Extremely reliable
Comfortable working independently
Naturally responsible and trustworthy
Good communicators
Calm, patient, and observant with animals
Active and comfortable being outdoors
Organized and punctual

Many of our team members stay long-term because they enjoy the combination of freedom, structure, animals, and meaningful client relationships.

This Position Is Probably NOT a Fit If You:

Are looking for casual gig work or “extra money”
Frequently need schedule flexibility during daytime hours
Dislike driving between locations
Prefer indoor or office-based work
Struggle with punctuality or consistency

Our clients rely heavily on us, so reliability matters a lot in this role.

Requirements

Reliable vehicle, valid driver’s license, and insurance
Smartphone capable of using scheduling apps
Comfortable handling dogs of various sizes and energy levels
At least 18 years old
Able to commit to the role for a minimum of 6 months

About Our Company

We’re a professional pet care company focused on dependable, relationship-based care for pets and peace of mind for their owners.

We believe pet care should feel professional, organized, communicative, and trustworthy — both for our clients and our team.

Sound Like a Good Fit?

We’d love to hear from you.
