We treat pets like family. We are a premier pet care company that is expanding and excited to offer more dog walking and pet sitting services

We are in the “peace of mind” business. We provide peace of mind to the pet parents who are either traveling, working, retired or recovering from an operation. We visit our clients’ homes to care for their pets and & also their homes, taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood or trails, letting them out to play in the backyard, scooping litter boxes, cleaning yards, occasionally providing medications, and a lot of TLC & belly rubs. We ask that you drive to these appointments and use our mobile app to provide photos and updates to the clients to let them know how the pets are doing. For traveling clients, you may be asked to water plants and collect the mail as well.

We are looking for part-time staff who have trustworthy & hands-on experience caring for pets, who are willing to travel within our service area, commit to a minimum of 6 months of employment, pass a background check, complete training, & are available to work during shifts based on our clients’ needs and your schedule.
