Full Job Description

Overview
Are you a passionate dog lover looking for a meaningful way to bring a well-behaved companion into your life without the immediate commitment of permanent adoption?
We are a local breeding program looking for dedicated Contract In-Home Dog Socializers to provide a loving home environment for our retired adult dogs. Our dogs are housebroken, crate-trained, and well-socialized within our kennel, but they need an experienced "host family" to help them transition into normal household pet life (getting used to household noises, neighborhood walks, and lounging on the couch).
This is a Trial Placement position. If you fall in love with the dog during the contract period, you will have the Right of First Refusal to permanently adopt them at a discounted fee schedule and transition them into your family forever.

What We Provide

All premium dog food, treats crates, and initial supplies.
100% coverage of all routine and pre-approved veterinary care.
A flat monthly care stipend of $50.00 to cover your time and space.

What you’ll do

Provide high-quality daily care, exercise, and companionship in your home.
Actively socialize the dog to a standard home routine.
Monitor health and temperament, providing regular updates to the owner
Participate in active home placement events
Maintained clean environment, free of feces and urine
Coat maintenance ( professional grooming provided periodically)

Basic qualifications

Must live in a residential environment suitable for an adult dog (fenced yard preferred but not a deal breaker). Homeowners preferred.
Must have a stable home environment with no more than 2 current pets, and agree to a strict "no new pets" policy during the contract period.
Must strictly comply with Virginia’s Adequate Care laws (no outdoor chaining, proper shelter).
Must have no history of animal cruelty or neglect convictions.
Must be within 45 min driving distance of the Greenbrier Area of Chesapeake, 23320 for prearranged meet-and-greets.

Preferred qualifications

True love for dogs
Skills in pet grooming, pet sitting, or kennel experience a plus
Ability to perform heavy lifting when necessary, such as moving large dog crates or supplies

Job Type: Contract

Pay: $50.00 per month

Application Question(s):

We prefer to avoid landlord or lease complications. Do you own your home or are you renting?
If we move forward, our process includes an application, and a background check with a vet recommendation if available. Would you be comfortable with this process?
Prior to placement, a casual home visit will be conducted, to make sure we avoid any safety issues. Are you comfortable with this process?
