Due to the nature of this job you should live in Brooklyn. It is also preferred that you are at least 21 years old.
Dog walking is a fun and rewarding job but can also be a lot of work. We want our walkers to enjoy their job but also expect a high level of responsibility and reliability. You must be good at managing time.
The pay is generous and opportunities for evening/weekend walks (at a higher level of pay) as well as dog sitting will come up often so the more availability you are the more money you will make. We do not have a lot of turnover and find our walkers tend really like their jobs. We encourage a friendly environment where you'll be part of a team and want our walkers to stay with us (happily) as long as possible.
If you're interested please send an email and cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why you'd be great for this job, what your experience with animals is (both personal and/or professional), please include a resume in the body of your email (even if you don't have professional experience with animals).
Thanks for reading. We look forward to hearing from you!
