Independent Pet Care Contractor

WiseDog Pet Care is looking for experienced pet professionals to join our pets-are-family community. We are a professional in-home pet sitting & dog walking business servicing north Clermont, Minneola, Montverde & Groveland, Florida.

We are looking for a service-minded professional to care for our growing clientele. We seek a part-time pet care professional, living within our service area, with an eye for detail and a heart for pets of all sizes and dispositions. You must be 18 years or older, willing to exceed our client’s expectations, and promote the well-being of the pets in your care.

This is an Independent Contractor position. You will be paid per job completed, not hourly. This is very part-time work as our schedule is ever-changing based on our clients’ schedules and needs.

It also means we are looking for an individual willing to care for pets during one of our shifts between 6 a.m. and 8:00 p.m, as well as weekends, holidays, and possible extended stays.

What will YOU be doing? This is an active job. When you’re not driving between pet sits, you are implementing a care routine, within a time frame, for our furry clients in their homes. Our level of care goes beyond the basic feed, water, play, and potty time.

• You must be comfortable working with big or small, shy, fearful, rambunctious, elderly, and medically needy pets in various environments and weather conditions.
• In addition to following the pet’s care plan, which may include oral medication, you will also clean up after the pet, whether it be food, water, or potty accidents and dispose of the matter as instructed.
• Additionally, we bring in mail/packages, water plants, take out trash, and maintain the home’s cleanliness where the pet’s care is concerned.
• Our #1 goal is to provide our clients with peace of mind, therefore, following each visit, you will be required to promptly send a report to the client that includes visit details and picture evidence of happy pets and a job well done.

Qualified individuals Must Haves:

• Pet care industry-related experience.
