🐕 Dog walks, trail hikes, and pet care visits
🏡 Check in on pets while pet parents are busy 
📸 Share visit updates + photos of your visits (yes, it’s part of the job!)
💛 Build relationships with pets and our amazing team

The Schedule:

🗓 Minimum availability is 3 days/week (2 of them M-F)
⏰ 4+ consecutive hours between 9AM–4PM - availability outside of that a bonus! 

Pay + Perks:

💵 $16.95/hr + tips (average $3–9/hr)
🚙 Paid mileage
🌿 Flexible scheduling
🐶 Pet care discounts
📈 Opportunities to grow into other roles if interested
