Dog Walker - Part-Time, Weekdays

Published: 6/14/2022

Job Description

Part-time weekday dog walker in South Philly and Center City: one-on-one walks between 10am and 4pm, $17-22/hour.

Pups On Passyunk is a local pet care business serving South Philly and Center City since 2018. Room to grow into a senior walker role for the right candidates interested in pet care and customer service!

Interviews: TBD in South Philly

Note: We receive many applications for each opening. Thoughtful answers to the screening questions, especially about your experience with dogs, are the best way to stand out.

Requirements:

Available Monday through Friday, every day, from 10:00 - 4:00. You need to be available for walks between these times, but you won't necessarily have walks for the full window. Some walkers keep this as a light side job, while others take on full, busy days. Because we staff around our clients (one primary walker handles each client's walks), we do typically need Monday through Friday availability, and enough of it to keep you on a steady schedule. Additional hours are also available for morning, evening, and weekend work.
Willing to work occasional Holidays.
Willing to work with us for at least 9 months (this is not a temporary job).
Love dogs and lots of walking! And willing and able to handle common issues, such as pulling, puppy messes, and more.
Have efficient transportation between walks--ideally biking or similar.
Willing to walk dogs in the rain, snow, heat, and anything Philly throws at us.
Reliable and committed to showing up every day (unplanned absences make scheduling impossible).
Have a smart phone with good battery.

Benefits:

Competitive pay, starting at $17/hour for scheduled walk duration.
Flexibility: we work hard to approve time-off requests and to work around other jobs.
Opportunity for additional hours.
W-2 Employee, which means the company covers more taxes than for an independent contractor.
Support from a company committed to client service and our employees.
Spend your day with amazing dogs!
