Hi there!
We are a busy and reputable dog walking company in search of committed, reliable dog lovers to join our team full time. This is a Monday-Friday position, and open availability between the hours of 9 a.m.- 6 p.m. is required. This is ideal for musicians, comedians, writers, or anyone who needs a consistent daytime schedule with evenings and weekends free. We operate on the Upper East and Upper West Sides of Manhattan. Please be flexible to working in either location.
About you:
-You are looking to commit long-term for at least a year, ideally more.
-You love dogs. While professional dog-walking experience is not a requirement (though a big plus), a love and passion for dogs and a desire to learn more about them and their behavior IS.
-You are a team player who is adaptable to last-minute change.
-You are open to working outside in all elements and understand that you will be walking for 6-8 hours a day. This is a very physically demanding job.
Pay starts at $18.00/hour. You can earn raises with outstanding performance in as little as 6 months. There are opportunities to pick up overnight dog sitting for additional income if desired, but this is not a requirement.
Other benefits include:
-Set weekly schedule
-Weekly payroll via direct deposit with taxes taken out for you (You are an employee, NOT an independent contractor)
-Workers Compensation and Disability Insurance coverage
-Paid time off and paid sick days after 6 months
We would love to hear from you!
Please respond with an email that introduces yourself to us. Tell us about yourself: what is your current work situation? What drew you to apply here? What is your relevant experience with dogs? Why do you think you would be a good fit for our team? And anything else you would like us to know.
Please also include a resume (non dog-related is OK! We just want to learn all we can about you).
APPLICANTS WITHOUT A PERSONAL STATEMENT AND RESUME WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.
NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. Once we review your application, we will contact you for a preliminary phone interview if we think you are a good fit.
Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!
