Hey there, dog lover!
Do you really, really love dogs? Do you want to make money doing something you love? If so, we are a well-known and highly reputable dog walking company looking to add an awesome new team member or two to our ranks for our pup clients in the following areas of Manhattan: Midtown East, Upper East Side, and Upper West Side.
About Us: Founded in 2010, we are one of NYC’s largest premier solo dog walking companies, meaning we only walk one dog at a time, except for multiple dog households. We send the same walkers to the same pups daily, so our staff form trusting and loving bonds with their pup clients. Because of this, we are looking for dog lovers interested in longevity with our team - 9 months minimum although we do have walkers who have been with us for years. If you're looking for a short-term gig, this isn't the right job for you and please, we kindly ask that you do not apply; both our human and dog clients love forming relationships with their walkers and don't do well with frequent turnover.
About You: You are reliable, punctual, responsible, communicative, and have a strong work ethic. You are a bonafide dog lover with personal experience caring for dogs throughout your lifetime. While you do not need professional experience for this position, we prefer to hire people who have experience and comfort with dogs of all sizes. You MUST have minimum daily availability Monday – Friday from 11am – 4pm (sorry, this isn’t negotiable). You are a communicative self-starter who can work on your own without micromanagement. You are not afraid of NYC weather conditions, which aren’t great a lot of the time, but you’re with pups which is great all of the time!
About the Position: Our standard schedule runs Monday - Friday from 10/11am - 4pm, and we always have extra work available outside of these hours for those interested, including weekend work. While our pay is calculated by walk, on average our team members make $18-$22 per hour, with our top dogs earning $22 per hour. Our staff members are employees of the company and not independent contractors. We pay weekly via direct deposit, so paper paychecks are a thing of the past. After 6 months with the team, we offer 40 hours of PTO per year. We’re passionate about hiring great people and even more passionate about keeping our dog loving crew tight knit without a lot of staff turnover.
To apply for this position, please set yourself apart from the pack by telling us all about you (the more detail, the better)!
- What's your name?
- When are you free to start?
- What's your experience with dogs? Please be as detailed and specific as possible.
- Are you legally able to work in the United States? Sorry, all of our pay is on the books!
- Are you free daily Monday - Friday from 11am - 4pm?
- Can you make a minimum 9-month commitment to our team?
- If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
We can't wait to hear from you WOOF!
