We are looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and compassionate who takes pride in doing things the right way.

• Extremely reliable and punctual
• Detail-oriented and able to follow written instructions closely
• Caring and calm with animals
• Honest, responsible, and accountable
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to problem-solve and use good judgment in the field

This Job Is NOT a Good Fit If You

• Need reminders to show up on time
• Prefer flexible rules or doing things your own way
• Get overwhelmed when schedules shift
• Need constant supervision to complete tasks

Requirements

• Reliable vehicle and valid driver’s license
• Smartphone with data plan
• Ability to pass background check
• Ability to walk dogs in all weather conditions
• Comfortable entering clients’ homes independently
