Professional Dog Walker -- Plymouth, MA

Weekday Midday Availability Required

$16-18/hour + Mileage Reimbursement

Do you automatically notice every dog you pass?

Do you know the difference between a nervous dog, an excited dog, and a dog who just wants to sniff every tree on the block?

Are you looking for more than "just a job" - and interested in becoming part of a trusted local pet care team long-term?

If so, Just Around the Corner Dog Walking & Pet Sitting may be the perfect fit for you.

For over 17 years, Just Around the Corner has provided professional dog walking and pet sitting throughout Plymouth, MA. Our clients trust us with beloved family members, and we take that responsibility seriously. We are looking for dependable, compassionate animal lovers who want to build meaningful relationships with pets, clients, and our team.

What This Position Looks Like
Our dog walkers travel between client homes throughout Plymouth during the weekday midday hours, providing dogs with exercise, enrichment, companionship, and safe, attentive care.
This is an active, independent position that requires reliability, excellent communication, and confidence working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels.
Many of our clients rely on us weekly while they are at work, so consistency and professionalism matter greatly in this role.
Routes are scheduled to keep dog walkers within 10-15 minute driving radius whenever possible. Candidates are matched to routes based on where they live to minimize travel time and increase efficiency.
