The strongest candidates will enjoy outdoor work, communicate professionally, and take pride in being trusted with clients' pets and home access.

Compensation and Benefits 
Compensation is based on commission per service, plus mileage reimbursement, a cell phone stipend, and 100% of tips. For candidates with 0 to 1 years of experience, starting pay averages about $16 to $22 per hour depending on number of walks completed, with higher starting pay available for those with more professional paid dog walking or pet sitting experience.

<li>Mileage reimbursement</li>
<li>Paid sick time</li>
<li>Paid time off after 12 months of employment</li>
<li>Simple IRA for employees earning over $5,000 annually</li>
<li>Direct deposit</li>
<li>Bonding and liability insurance coverage</li>
</ul>
This role starts part-time and may grow into full-time for the right person. Additional earnings may be available through extra visits, pet sitting, overnights, and weekend work.

Current weekday schedule options include:
