Do you love dogs and cats and want to work outdoors? Then dog walking and cat sitting would be a great fit for you!
Most of our walkers are writers, musicians, artists, freelancers, designers, etc. The dog walking schedule works very well for creative people with other gigs, who want to supplement their income.
Our walkers say:
"Never having considered dog walking, I responded to a job posting that said "Great Job for Artists" and I'm so glad I did. Working for this company has really lived up to that promise. Working with dogs is fun and fulfilling and affords me both the time and means to put a lot of energy into my passion."
"Thank you so much for the opportunity to work here. This has truly been the best job of my life and I've loved working for a company who cares about it's employees."
