Help Wanted
Do you love working with animals? Spending time outside? Exerciser?
Then this might be the perfect job for you!
The hours will be mostly afternoons for 1.5 to 4 hours per day, 1 to 3 days per week, with room for more hours, and days as the business grows.
There will be set days, plus you will be trained in on all of the clients for fill-in days.
This is an incredibly rewarding job for the right person.
You will be forming a bond of trust and unconditional love with the animals you’ll be working with, and their family.
The type of personality we are looking for: compassionate, loving, responsible, with the ability to be alpha in a non-violent way. Who’s Your Walkie does not believe in hitting or pulling and we will not tolerate someone who does, nor will we ever take on clients who are abusive to their animals.
Job Requirements
Is this you?
- Must be able to commit to at least 1 year. Although this is part-time, this is not for someone who is in-between jobs, or will only be available for a short time. (Pet parents and their animals want consistency, please be honest.)
- Must be physically strong, with the ability to read animal body language.
- Must have experience working with dogs with mild behavioral issues.
- Must know exactly what you would do if confronted with a dangerous situation.
NOTE: No answer is wrong here, it’s just a question, everyone is different.
- Must own a reliable car with the capacity to fit 2 to 4 dogs in at a time
NOTE: If it’s a truck, the back has to be ventilated secure and comfortable.
- Must be able to submit a clean driving record and criminal back ground check.
- Must have good communication skills and have the ability to send and receive text messages and emails. Owning a smart phone with a camera is a plus.
- Must be willing to hike rain or shine.
- Above all, you must be trustworthy and dependable, as well as intelligent and good at decision-making.
How to Apply
If this sounds like a good fit for you, please send us the following:
1. A description of your experience with animals, and how you feel about them in the world. Keep it simple and honest.
2. A paragraph or two of how you would introduce yourself to the pet parents, as well as a picture of you with an animal. (This will go on our web site.)
Have fun! Be creative! Be yourself!
This is a “RAD” job working for a fun, energetic, super-flexible person, getting to hang out with some amazing doggies, wear whatever you want, be yourself, and get paid to hike.
