ABOUT WAGTIME™

WagTime™ is not a dog walking service.

We are a relationship-based, behavior-informed care company focused on supporting dogs through consistency, awareness, and intentional movement.

We specialize in:

  • Dogs with big feelings
  • Nervous system–safe care
  • Consistent, trusted companionship
  • Neighborhood-based service (Movement Zones™)

We don’t rush dogs.

We don’t override behavior.

We build Care. Consistency. Connection.

THE ROLE

We are hiring Care Companions™ to provide structured, intentional strolls for dogs within their local area.

This role is not about walking dogs from point A to B.

This is about:

  • Reading canine behavior in real time
  • Moving at the dog’s pace
  • Creating calm, safe experiences on leash
  • Supporting emotional regulation through movement

You will work within a consistent service area and become a familiar, trusted presence for the dogs you care for.

WHO THIS IS FOR

  • Calm, observant, and grounded individuals
  • People who enjoy working independently
  • Those who value consistency and responsibility
  • Individuals who want to learn a different approach to canine care
  • People who take pride in doing things the right way

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR

  • People looking for quick, easy income
  • Traditional dog walkers who rush through visits
  • Anyone using aversive tools or outdated methods
  • Individuals who struggle with consistency or communication

TRAINING

All hires complete the Certified Care Companion™ Program, which includes:

  • Structured onboarding
  • Field shadowing with a Lead Companion
  • Real-world application
  • Ongoing support

You are not expected to know everything but you are expected to learn and apply.

PAY & SCHEDULE

  • Training/fieldwork ranges from $13.50 to $21.00 per hour

Schedule:
