Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

Life is too short to not spend as much time as you can with dogs and cats! If you agree with this statement, we might be the right fit for you. Pup Culture is hiring dog walkers/pet sitters in our service area. We’re looking for reliable and responsible animal-lovers to join our team. If you enjoy being outside, getting exercise, and spending time with animals, this job is for you! This would be a perfect position for a freelancer, entrepreneur, artist, retiree, stay-at-home parent, someone who is looking for a career working with animals, or anyone else who has availability during the weekends. Pay begins at $15 per hour.

Why work for us?

• Discounted pet care
• All the slobbery dog kisses and kitty head butts that you can handle
• Experience the MN seasons with a dog by your side
• Win every step challenge you enter
• Paid pet first aid/CPR training certification
• $.25 mileage reimbursement
• Opportunities to advance in our company
• Stipend for additional animal training
• $15+ per hour + tips
• Paid time off
• Protected by workers comp and liability insurance

Who we are looking for:

• You need to have strong communication skills, both written and verbal. We communicate with clients mostly through notes through our system. Our clients love receiving our updates each day, so you must be able to communicate clearly with clients and staff.
• You need to have excellent time management skills. We do 2-8 walks per day. Usually the visits are back-to-back and must be completed within a certain time frame.
• You must be able to work independently and be resourceful. We provide initial training and ongoing training, but much of the dog walking and pet sitting work is independent and on your own.
• You should have strong animal intuition skills. We provide ongoing animal training, but you must bring a confidence with animals to each visit.
• You must be an animal-lover and have endless amounts of patience when it comes to animals.

Applicant must meet the following qualifications:

• Availability to work 4-hour shifts between 9:00am-4:00pm Monday-Friday plus one possible weekend a quarter from 9:00am-2:00pm (four times a year). (Need not be available all five days per week.)
• Able to walk in all weather
• Live in or near our service area
• Flexible schedule
• Able to make a long-term commitment
• Must have reliable transportation
• Must have a smart phone and computer with internet access
• Able to pass a criminal background check
