Professional Dog Walker / Pet Sitter
We provide pet care services in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Monday through Sunday. This opportunity is designed to work with your professional schedule.
We service Montgomery County, Gaithersburg, Potomac, North Potomac, Rockville, Bethesda, Germantown, Clarksburg, and nearby communities. We design routes to limit travel.

Compensation:

$15 - $20 / hour (staff will start at $15 per hour. Bonuses and client gratuity could increase your earning potential.)

The responsibilities:

This active role would require you to drive to each of our client’s homes throughout the day.
At each home, you will need to follow the client’s instructions for caring for the pets by either walking the dog(s), playing in the yard, feeding, giving medication, feeding cats, cleaning cat litter, and potentially caring for other small pets.
Home care is also an essential part of our 24-hour pet-sitting service. Some of these duties include taking out or bringing in trash and recycling cans, bringing in mail/ papers/ packages, watering plants, turning lights on and off for safety, laundering linens, wiping off surfaces, cleaning food bowls and or floors.
Visits are completed based on time frame, visit duration, and any additional service(s) requested by the client.
We walk outdoors with our client’s dogs in all four seasons
We believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, but you may be required to work some holidays and some weekends.
As a Sitter, you will be paid per visit completed. You can expect 3-15 visits per day. The amount of visits you will have is based on your availability, how much you want to work, and how busy we are when you are available.

The ideal candidate:

This is a fun work environment, but it requires critical thinking and the ability to work independently.
We are a dedicated team of professionals. We are looking for ambitious team players.
Overnight pet sitting is our specialty, so being comfortable staying at a client’s home for overnight pet sitting is preferred.
Candidates with a desire to grow within a local small business and a commitment to our vision.
First-class customer service is critical to our success.
Special consideration for candidates with evening, weekend, and holiday availability.
This is an excellent opportunity for people looking to start a career or grow their current professional experience with dogs.
