What _IS_
dog walking, anyway? If you live in NYC, then you know that these small boxes we call "apartments" can have a dog feeling cooped up, bored, and desperate for fresh air For our clients who work long hours - that's almost everyone in this town - we provide a mid-day outing for their pup, either alone or with 1-2 buddies, so they can get outside, get some exercise, and do their business. We also provide New Puppy Support for potty training, socialization, cat sitting services and morning, evening, weekend and holiday pet care.

_I've seen those guys getting dragged along by 10 dogs down the sidewalk._ Is that what dog walkers do? Right, some dog walkers work for companies that do what's called "pack" or "group" walks. These are often the same jobs that pay a flat hourly wage, regardless of how many dogs are being walked at a time or in a day, and regardless of how far away the dogs are from each other. By contrast, we walk a dog with one or two of his buddies who live nearby. This provides socialization for our pups, but in a safe, controlled environment where all our dogs can be watched carefully, attended to as individuals, and our staff are not being dragged along by packs of dogs all day. Ours is a very different approach, much closer to childcare.

_Sounds nice, but can I actually make good money doing this?_ Yes, absolutely. Most of our Caretakers make between 2k-4k per month, depending on where they work, and how much they want to work. PLEASE NOTE, we are still in a build-back phase from the pandemic, and you would likely start out first PT, and grow to FT within a month or so.

REQUIREMENTS:

First and foremost you must love dogs & cats. (We assume that you do, or you wouldn't be reading this)...

but beyond that, we look for someone who can master the THREE ASPECTS OF THIS JOB:

-
Be great with the PETS Lots of people say they love animals, but it takes a special kind dedication to care for animals as your JOB. Neither the snow, nor rain, nor hissing scaredy-cat nor gloom of night. nothing will keep you from getting to the pets in your care Are you the kind of person who stops to pet all the dogs, sometimes forgetting to say hello to the human walking them? WE WANT TO MEET YOU

In addition to these three traits above, here are some other basic job requirements:
US citizen or legally authorized to work in the US for at least the next 12 months

21 years of age & able to pass background and drug test

local full-time resident of NYC

able to receive payment "on the books"

able to commit to this position for 12 months minimum from date of hire

available for PT hours 11-5 Mon-Friday OR FT hours 10-6 Mon-Friday,
- some_ nights and weekends as requested in advance,

plus _one _major holiday (Christmas or Thanksgiving)

THINK YOU MIGHT JUST LOVE WORKING WITH ANIMALS FOR A LIVING? WANT TO TRADE IN (HUMAN) CO-WORKERS FOR CATS AND DOGS? You've come to the right place APPLY TODAY
