Dog Caregiver – Walking & Daycare

Let’s talk about cake for a moment.

Working with animals is the frosting, not the cake. The cake is the foundation that makes this job work.

The cake looks like this:

• Starting your route on time every day — dogs can’t reschedule their walks
• Driving between client homes throughout the day — your car is your office
• Walking 10–15 miles a day — dogs need exercise and can’t pick up their own poop
• Showing up rain or shine — dogs still need to go out when the weather is miserable
• Being accountable to human clients first — their homes, schedules, and expectations are the priority

Those things are the cake — about 95% of the job. The 5% is the frosting: the dogs who make the work more enjoyable.

What the day looks like

• 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM: Dog walking route visiting client homes.
• 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Dog playgroups and facility support at our daycare.

Requirements

• Live within a reasonable commuting distance of 6628 Evergreen Way, Everett, WA
• Reliable, insured vehicle and ability to drive between client homes in all weather conditions
• Available Monday–Friday from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (includes a 60-minute unpaid lunch break)
• At least 12 consecutive months at one job within the past 3 years (since 2023)
• Physically able to walk up to 15 miles per day on uneven terrain including hills
• Able to stand or walk for 6–8 hours per shift
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs, bend, clean, and remain active throughout the day
• Comfortable working outdoors in rain, snow, or heat while supervising dogs
