[Please read through the entire description before applying on our website]
Are you an animal lover looking to fill your time with some new furr-iends?
You have come to the right place! We are looking for some all stars to join our team. We are a pet care company focused on providing pet sitting & dog walking services that give our clients peace of mind while they are away.
As we continue to grow, we continue to search for amazing animal lovers to join our team.
Some of the feedback we have received from our current team is below:
“I love the flexibility that this job offers with my other commitments.”
“I do not like being in a single place for most of my day, this job allows me to move around and be active.”
“I love that I get to primarily work with animals throughout the day.”
Because our clients have very high standards and expectations when they hire us, we have some important details about who we are looking for:
You must love animals and have great intuition with handling animals. We service a vast variety of pets and it is important to be able to care for them all in a loving way and be able to control them for yours and their safety.
- You need to have previous animal care experience. We are looking for individuals who have cared and worked with animals in the past and understand them.
- You must have reliable & insured transportation. This job involves driving from house to house and your own transportation is a must.
- You must be over the age of 18 for liability & insurance reasons.
- You must be okay with working weekends & holidays. A lot of our clients travel during the weekends & holidays and rely on us to care for their homes and pets while they are away. We try not to have any one sitter work an entire holiday day. Sitters receive time and a half while working on holidays recognized by the company.
- You need to be comfortable handling big dogs. For example, does the idea of walking an energetic 80 lb German Shepherd sound like a fun adventure (it does to us!) or a scary time for you? If this does not sound like something you would be interested in then this may not be the right fit for you.
- You must be great with managing details. Because our care is personalized to each pet we care for, being able to follow instructions is extremely important in order to ensure each pet is properly cared for.
Your time management skills must be excellent. Our clients depend on us to be on time and consistent when caring for their pets.
Does this sound like a great fit so far? If so then that's great to hear! We also have some benefits of working with us that we like to share up front:
- We will work with you to provide flexible scheduling around your class/work schedules and other commitments. Please note you must have a consistent availability (not changing every week).
- Competitive pay. We start you at a competitive hourly rate while also paying for drive time between visits and all training shifts.
- Premium pay on holidays. As previously stated, you will receive time and a half while working on holidays recognized by the company.
- Room for growth once you become comfortable with your initial responsibilities. There is plenty to do and we don't ever want you to become "bored" or feel in a rut!
- We value team members having time off. We always try to give you time off during the week for yourself and we make it easy to take trips.
- Over 90% of the work is with animals!
If you or someone you know may be interested in joining the team, we would love to chat!
