What are the responsibilities and job description for the Overnight Pet Care Specialist position at Pampered Moose Pet Care?
ABOUT PAMPERED MOOSE:
For pet pawrents who need to get away for a few hours, a weekend, or longer, look no further than Pampered Moose for customized pet care services. We provide you with peace of mind that your animals and property are safe and expertly cared for, giving you more time and energy to do your thing. Pampered Moose is a fully licensed and registered LLC in the State of Oregon. Pampered Moose LLC and sitters are covered by PetCare Business Insurance. All Pampered Moose sitters are certified in cat and dog first aid.
As a Fear Free pet sitting business we do our part in employing and advocating for practices that promote physical and emotional wellbeing. We are committed to learning, recognizing and responding appropriately to even subtle signs of fear, anxiety and stress in the animals for which we are caring. Dogs, much like people, carry trauma; aversive interactions can add to that trauma, often worsening behavior or reactivity. Our sitters will use scientifically sound, reward-based methods, avoiding using fear and force to motivate the animal. We will not utilize prong collars, shock or e-collars, bark collars, etc. This kind of approach can lead to a pet care scenario providing the opposite of peace of mind for humans and animals alike.
WHY WORK WITH PAMPERED MOOSE?
- Get paid to go on walks play with floofs!
- Educational certification reimbursement available
- We give back to our community, supporting those most vulnerable in Central Oregon.
- Pampered Moose offers a flexible, part time, team environment. Sitters decide what jobs they take!
Joining the Moose Crew is a great way to earn additional income by hanging out with cute animals, but also allows a pet sitter to develop professional client relationship skills, meeting kind and cool humans in Central Oregon. Pampered Moose sitters work independently but function as part of a team. The Moose Crew works together so we can back each other up and provide our clients with “pet care peace of mind” even when life happens!
THE ROLE
Overnight pet house sitters provide in client home care from approx 530pm-830am. Care can include dog walks, feeding, medication admin, indoor and outdoor plant watering, mail and pacakage retrieval, etc. Day time care is scheduled in addition to overnight services, as each home has different needs during the daytime.* These roles are best suited for folks who have flex PT schedules, grad students, remote workers and retirees.
This is a contractor (1099) position. Sitters earn 81-85% of rates charged clients, dependent on experience and certifications. Raises and bonuses where eligible for performance!
