Full Job Description

Since 2004, Top Dog SF has been San Francisco's most trusted dog training and walking company. We specialize in positive-reinforcement training, puppy training programs, and off-leash group dog walking adventures at our private, secure ranch in Montara, CA. We're a 5-star-rated, award-winning team built on safety, compassion, and a genuine love for dogs.

We don't just walk dogs — we care for them like our own.

The Role:
We're looking for a calm, dependable, dog-savvy Off-Leash Walker & Driver to join our pack. This is a physically active, outdoor role built around a consistent daily routine — perfect for someone who thrives on structure, reads dogs instinctively, and takes pride in delivering exceptional care every single day.

If you're the kind of person dogs naturally trust — and you're looking for a long-term career with a path toward training — this is your place.

What You'll Do:

Dog Care & Safety

Read dog body language and respond quickly and calmly to behavioral cues
Make sound, instinctive decisions in dynamic situations involving multiple dogs
Follow all safety protocols and handling guidelines with consistency and care

Daily Operations

Drive company vans to safely pick up and drop off dogs along established SF routes
Supervise off-leash play and socialization groups at our Montara ranch
Work alongside trainers, ranch assistants, and fellow walkers as a collaborative team

Client Communication

Send daily photo updates and brief reports through our mobile app
Maintain warm, professional interactions with clients during pickups and drop-offs

Vehicle & Equipment

Keep company vans clean, organized, and road-ready
Report any maintenance or safety concerns promptly

Professional Development

Complete Dog Walker University certification
Obtain and maintain Pet CPR and First Aid certification
Participate in ongoing training in canine behavior and handling

You're a Great Fit If You:

Have a naturally calm, steady presence — dogs feel safe with you
Read dog behavior intuitively and adapt quickly without overthinking
Thrive in a consistent daily routine and take pride in showing up reliably
Follow safety protocols without being reminded — because you genuinely care
Work well as part of a team and communicate clearly with colleagues and clients
Are curious about canine behavior and excited about growing toward a training role

This Role Isn't For You If:

Driving a van in San Francisco traffic feels uncomfortable
Large groups of dogs feel overwhelming or stressful
You prefer spontaneity and variety over a predictable daily routine
Outdoor physical work in all weather conditions isn't your thing
You need to be in charge — this role is about exceptional execution, not directing others

Requirements:

Valid California Driver's License (Class C) with a clean driving record
5+ years of city driving experience preferred
Comfortable managing groups of up to 15 dogs with assistant support
Ability to lift up to 70 lbs and work outdoors year-round
Smartphone (iOS or Android) for daily communication and reporting

Schedule & Pay:

Monday–Friday | 7:30 AM–2:30 PM or 8:30 AM–3:30 PM
Starting at $22/hour based on experience
Full-time (35–40 hrs/week) or Part-time (~20 hrs/week) available

Perks & Benefits (Full-Time):

50% group health insurance or $100/month health stipend
72 hours paid sick time
Paid holidays
$50/month cell phone reimbursement
Paid dog training certifications and continuing education
Clear path toward a dog trainer role for motivated candidates
Semi-Annual Reviews with raise and bonus potential
Employer-sponsored IRA
Company van provided — fuel and maintenance fully covered

Our Hiring Process:
We hire intentionally at Top Dog SF. Here's what to expect:

1. Apply through our careers page at https://topdogsf.applytojob.com/apply/xQ3Y4vryLM/Group-Dog-Walker

2. Complete the Aptive Index — a short 5 to 10-minute behavioral assessment included in your application. There are no right or wrong answers. It helps us make sure this role is a genuine fit for you, not just for us.

3. Interview with our team if selected to move forward

Apply and complete your Aptive Index here: https://assessment.aptiveindex.com/s/bXQbb9oKX6mE

Why Our Team Loves It Here
The routine never gets old when the dogs are this good. You'll spend your mornings with dogs who are genuinely happy to see you, work alongside a team that has your back, and end your shift knowing you made a real difference. This isn't just a job — it's a career for people who are serious about dogs.

Ready to Join the Pack?
If you're calm under pressure, great with dogs, and built for a role where reliability and instinct matter most — we'd love to meet you.

Apply now at: https://topdogsf.applytojob.com/apply/xQ3Y4vryLM/Group-Dog-Walker
