The position is very flexible: you set your own hours, service area, and when you want to work. Get paid to take care of adorable dogs—a dream for anyone who loves tails, barks, and paws!

The Perks

Here's what's in it for you:

• Competitive Pay
• Bonuses & Holiday Pay: Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more. Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.

Flexibility: Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you'd like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.

Community

• Access to a group chat network of dozens of other self-employed pet care providers across the country for advice about dog care, health, behavior, and community resources for fostering or adopting dogs and cats in need.

A Day in the Life of a Dog Sitter

Dog Sitters visit dogs in client's homes for drop-in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes, once or twice daily or for 10-hour overnight stays) or dog walks (30, 60, or 90-minute private walks or 60-minute group walks). Before your first visit, you'll meet each client and their dog for a meet and greet, discuss routines, and emergency plans. During visits, you'll follow care instructions, socialize with the dog, leave the home spotless, and send updates via our app.

Walking: Conduct group or private walks in the neighborhood or agreed locations.

Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.

Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with updates and photos through our app.
