Dog Adventure Walker

Wet Noses Dog Services — North Shore, MA

Love hiking? Get paid to spend your days outdoors with dogs.

Wet Noses Dog Services is hiring a part-time Dog Adventure Walker. Our days are spent exploring local trails, giving dogs enriching adventures, and building long-term relationships with our clients and their pups.

Most of this role involves primarily independent work outdoors, so comfort working on your own and confidently managing dogs is important.

• Provide 1-hour neighborhood walks for individual dogs or small groups
• Provide 30-minute neighborhood walks for dogs needing shorter outings
• Safely handle and manage multiple dogs on and off leash
• Transport dogs between client homes and local hiking locations
• Provide attentive, individualized care for each dog
• Communicate updates to clients and the Wet Noses team
• Ensure the safety and well-being of the dogs in your care

Qualifications

• Reliable personal vehicle required for transporting dogs between homes and hiking locations
• Comfortable handling 2 to 3 dogs at once
• Able to hike 3–5 miles with dogs in all weather conditions
• Reliable, responsible, and a strong communicator
• Genuine love for dogs and the outdoors

Dog handling experience is preferred but not required.

Schedule

• Weekday daytime availability required
• Walks typically occur between 8:00am–5:00pm
• Occasional evening and weekend walks may also be available
