Dog Walker

Hey, you. Pet lover.

We see you, taking a break at work, scrolling through Indeed and thinking to yourself: "I'd really love to get paid to hang out with dogs and cats."

Guess what? Your dream job is real, and it's described right below.

We're looking for someone just like you.

//JON LOVES DOGS is seeking a Pet Sitter and Dog Walker who can keep their cool, hold their boundaries, and handle animals (and humans) with the confidence of someone who’s been in the trenches.

We’re the crew people call when the gig workers tap out. If you want to do this work professionally, here’s your chance.

What You’ll Do

• Walk dogs with intention, structure, and enrichment—not zombie-shuffle circles around the block while you stare at your phone
• Be the one who shows up. Always.

What We’re Looking For

• Familiarity with dog and cat body language is required
• Excellent communication skills and prompt responsiveness
• Rock-solid reliability — ghosting and short-notice call-outs don’t fly here
• A reliable vehicle + a driver’s license that’s in good standing
• Weekend and Evening availability
• Longer term employment: This is not a seasonal position

What You’ll Get

• W2 employment (this is not a 1099 position)
• Flexible scheduling with growth opportunities
• Paid drive time + mileage reimbursement
• Paid sick leave
• Holiday pay
• Wellness perks: audiobooks, yoga, massages—your body is your toolkit, keep it sharp
• Oh, and dogs. Lots of really good dogs. (Cats, too)

Equal Opportunity Statement
We don’t care what you look like, what creed you follow, or where you’re from. If you’re compassionate, competent, and dependable, you’re family here.
