Dog Walker (Weekday)

Join the Doggie Concierge team and turn your passion for dogs into a rewarding part-time job! We're on the lookout for dedicated and enthusiastic dog lovers who adore all breeds but have a soft spot for larger dogs like Bernese Mountain Dogs, lovable Dobermans, and spirited German Shepherds. If you're looking to earn some extra cash in a fun and unconventional part-time role, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

Over the years, we've found that our best team members have been stay-at-home moms, energetic retirees, adventurous grad students, and empty nesters—each bringing their unique flair to the job! You'll love the chance to get your steps in (guaranteed 10,000 per shift) while spending time with our adorable pups!

JOB TYPE: Part-time

CLASSIFICATION: W2 Employee

COMPENSATION:

The Doggie Concierge utilizes a piecework compensation model, which is a standard approach in the dog-walking and pet-sitting industry. Our team consists of W2 Employees rather than 1099 Independent Contractors, meaning that our staff is classified as employees rather than independent workers. Unlike traditional hourly pay, our employees are compensated based on the number of completed appointments. Each employee receives a base rate, which is determined by the duration of the appointment.

The compensation will fluctuate according to the specific daily appointments scheduled, their respective durations, and the efficiency of travel time between locations. When employees assess their earnings on an hourly basis, they can expect the rates to fall within a range of $12.00 to $18.00 per hour.
