About Blair's Ruff House
Blair’s Ruff House is a mobile pet sitting and dog walking service, meaning our work happens in the homes of the pets we care for. This gives you the chance to interact with a wide variety of animals—dogs, cats, farm animals, birds, reptiles, and more—right where they feel most comfortable.
Joining our Pack means being part of a team that provides trusted, high-quality care. You’ll play a vital role in bringing joy, comfort, and companionship to pets while giving their owners peace of mind. For those who love animals and value meaningful, hands-on work, being part of Blair’s Ruff House is both rewarding and fun.
Life as a Blair’s Ruff House Pack Member
Being part of the Blair’s Ruff House Pack is both deeply rewarding and filled with joy. As a Pack Member, your role is to provide genuine care and companionship to animals every single day. We have the privilege of watching pets grow, learning their unique personalities, and building lasting bonds. We play with them, give them exercise, keep their minds engaged, and offer comfort when their families are away. For many pets, we are their trusted visitor—the reason their tails wag, their faces brighten, and they feel secure while waiting for their people to return.
At the same time, this position carries important responsibilities. It is an active and demanding role that requires reliability, attentiveness, and compassion. We care for pets in every circumstance—when they are energetic and playful, nervous or shy, mischievous or challenging, young and thriving, or aging and in need of extra patience. Our commitment is to provide consistent, professional care that supports both the pets and the families who trust us.
Compensation & Schedule
We offer competitive hourly pay, with additional opportunities to earn gratuities and premium fees for holidays and after-hours services. All Pack Members also receive a 15% discount on Blair’s Ruff House services.
Our business operates 6:00 AM–10:00 PM, 365 days a year, which, combined with high demand, allows us to offer flexible and rewarding schedules. You get to choose your own availability—we ask that you provide your schedule 4 weeks in advance, and we assign shifts accordingly.
To ensure coverage for our clients, we require that Pack Members are available for at least 15 hours per week, including a minimum of 2 weekends per month, with some holiday work as needed.
Services We Offer
We have 2 core services, Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking Services and we can make as many as the client needs per day. .
Drop-In Visits - Our main focus is taking care of the pets basic needs such as potty breaks, feedings and medications. We give them lots of love, make sure they are well and help them feel secure.
Dog Walking Services - The main focus here is obviously the walking! However, even walking visits may consist of some basic needs care.
While not required by Pack Members, we do occasionally offer Overnight Services where the provider would stay in the client's home.
