Full Job Description

Dog Walker & Pet Care Professional: Madison, CT

You know dogs. Like, really know dogs.

You can tell the difference between an excited dog and an overstimulated one.

You know that the 90-pound sweetheart who “just pulls a little” may require a bit more strategy than enthusiasm.

You’ve handled shy dogs, strong dogs, energetic dogs, stubborn dogs, nervous dogs and probably at least one dog who was absolutely convinced that squirrel needed to be chased.

If that sounds familiar, we’d like to meet you.

We Let the Dogs Out is an established professional pet care company serving the Connecticut shoreline. For more than 11 years, our clients have trusted us with something incredibly important: the care, safety and happiness of their pets.

We’re currently looking for an experienced Dog Walker & Pet Care Professional to join our team in the Madison, CT area.

And while loving animals is important, we’re specifically looking for someone who brings substantial hands-on experience with dogs.

Professional experience in pet care, dog walking, veterinary care, shelters/rescues, boarding/daycare, grooming or dog training is strongly preferred.

This Might Be Your Kind of Job If…

You’re the person friends call when they need someone who actually knows how to handle their dog.

You’re comfortable reading canine body language and adjusting your approach to the dog in front of you.

A big, energetic dog doesn’t intimidate you.

You understand that great pet care is equal parts affection, judgment, consistency and responsibility.

And when someone trusts you with their pet and their home, you take that responsibility seriously.

If you're nodding along, keep reading…

What Your Days Will Look Like

You’ll spend your weekdays traveling between clients in the Madison shoreline area, providing professional care to dogs, cats, and other pets.

That includes:

Walking dogs safely and confidently in all kinds of Connecticut weather

Handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments and energy levels

Reading canine behavior and responding appropriately when situations change

Providing exercise, enrichment, play, and lots of appropriate affection

Caring for cats and small animals, including litter and cage cleanup

Following detailed feeding, medication, behavioral, and household instructions

Cleaning up after pets and leaving clients’ homes exactly as they should be

Using our mobile apps for scheduling, communication and visit reports

Driving between visits in your own reliable vehicle

Occasionally transporting dogs safely in your vehicle

Communicating professionally with clients and your WLTDO team

Most importantly, you’ll be trusted to make good decisions when nobody is standing over your shoulder.

The Dog Experience We're Looking For

You do not need to be a professional dog trainer. But you do need meaningful, hands-on experience working with dogs.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience in:

Professional dog walking or pet sitting

Veterinary hospitals or clinics

Dog daycare or boarding facilities

Animal shelters or rescues

Dog training

Grooming or other professional animal-care environments

Strong personal experience may also qualify if you've regularly handled a variety of dogs, not just your own family pet.

You should be comfortable with:

Large and strong dogs

High-energy dogs

Shy or cautious dogs

Dogs that pull on leash

Managing distractions during walks

Recognizing basic canine body language

Adjusting your handling style based on the individual dog

Knowing when a dog needs encouragement, space, structure, or a change of plan is a big part of doing this job well.

Who Thrives at We Let the Dogs Out?

Our best team members tend to have a few things in common.

They show up.

Pets don't understand call-outs or scheduling problems. Reliability matters enormously in this business.

They pay attention.

A gate that didn't latch properly, a dog behaving differently than usual, or a medication instruction that changed yesterday all matter.

They stay calm.

Dogs are wonderfully unpredictable. We want people who can think clearly and make good decisions when something unexpected happens.

They take ownership.

You’ll work independently for much of the day, but you'll never be operating without support.

They communicate.

Clients want to know their pets are safe and happy, and our team depends on good communication to provide consistently excellent care.

And yes…they genuinely love animals.

That part is pretty important too.

What You Can Expect From Us

Professional pet care should feel professional for the people doing it, too.

At We Let the Dogs Out, you’re not simply handed a leash and wished good luck.

You’ll have training, systems, communication and a team behind you.

We offer:

Starting pay of $18.50/hour

Tips and bonus opportunities

Paid training

Paid sick time

Paid time off

401(k)

Employee discounts

Referral program

Professional development assistance

Ongoing support from an established local team

Opportunities for growth and advancement

The Practical Stuff

To be considered, you’ll need:

Significant hands-on experience with dogs

A genuine love for both dogs and cats

Confidence handling dogs of varying sizes, temperaments, and energy levels

Strong time-management skills and personal accountability

Physical stamina for multiple walks each day in year-round weather

Ability to occasionally assist or support large dogs physically

A reliable vehicle

Valid driver’s license, registration, and insurance

Willingness to safely transport dogs when required

Comfort using mobile scheduling, communication, and reporting apps

Availability for a consistent, full-time weekday schedule

Pet CPR / First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain it shortly after hire

One Last Thing

There are plenty of jobs where being five minutes late doesn't really matter.

This isn't one of them.

There are also plenty of jobs where nobody notices the small things.

This isn't one of those either.

Our clients trust us with their pets, their homes and their peace of mind. We take that trust seriously, and we want teammates who do too.

In return, we work hard to create a company where great pet care professionals are trained, supported, appreciated and given room to grow.

So, if you have real dog experience, take pride in being someone others can count on, and would rather spend your workday with four-legged coworkers…

Come join our pack. We’d love to meet you.

Pay: From $18.50 per hour
