This is a mixed pet care role:

You will spend most of your day walking dogs, caring for pets, and sending photo updates. You will also help keep customers’ yards clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.

This is a great fit for someone who loves dogs, enjoys working outdoors, and takes pride in doing a job the right way.
