Job DescriptionAre you a total ANIMAL LOVER, someone who has always loved dogs & cats? WELL, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER.. Come on over to the BARK SIDE! We are looking to hire some SERIOUS ANIMAL LOVERS to walk and care for our beloved pups 'n kitties in NYC! Professional Pet Care experience is a definite bonus (dog walking, pet sitting, shelter volunteer, vet tech, vet assistant, groomer, shelter or daycare handler, etc.) - but we will train the right people who are reliable, trustworthy and ready to WORK! MUST BE ABLE TO COMMUTE TO AND CARE FOR OUR DOGS & CATS, M-F (plus some nights and weekends on request)! BENEFITS Our Professional Pet Caretakers receive: FULL HEALTH INSURANCE! Industry-Leading Compensation PAID training and PAID Industry Certifications EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE VISION & DENTAL Plans 401(K) COMMUTER benefits PAID sick days & PAID vacations Field SUPPORT BACKUP Staff Friends & Family Discount for daycare, dog walks & pet sits for staff pets Opportunity for GROWTH & MANAGEMENT TRACK LIABILITY Insurance & BONDING ... and a whole HOST of other amazing benefits! ====> LOVE Cats & Dogs? Interested? Read on! <=== What IS dog walking, anyway? If you live in NYC, then you know that these small boxes we call "apartments" can have a dog feeling cooped up, bored, and desperate for fresh air! For our clients who work long hours - that's almost everyone in this town - we provide a mid-day outing for their pup, either alone or with 1-2 buddies, so they can get outside, get some exercise, and do their business. We also provide support for puppies, cat sitting services, and year-round care for all NYC Pet Pawrents! I've seen those guys getting dragged along by 10 dogs down the sidewalk. Is that what dog walkers do? Right, some dog walkers work for companies that do what's called "pack" or "group" walks. These are often the same jobs that pay a flat hourly wage, regardless of how many dogs are being walked at a time or in a day, and regardless of how far away the dogs are from each other. By contrast, we walk a dog with one or two of his buddies who live nearby. This provides socialization for our pups, but in a safe, controlled environment where all our dogs can be watched carefully, attended to as individuals, and our staff are not being dragged along by packs of dogs all day. Ours is a very different approach, much closer to childcare. REQUIREMENTS First and foremost you must love dogs & cats. (We assume that you do, or you wouldn't be reading this!) ... beyond that, we look for someone who can master the THREE ASPECTS OF THIS JOB: • authorized to work in the US for at least the next 12 months, • 21 years of age, • full-time resident of NYC, • able to commit to this position for 12 months minimum from date of hire, • able to pass a background screening and/or drug test We are physically hardy, able to walk for multiple hours per day in ALL WEATHER, can get to client pets in a 6th floor walkup building without issue, can lift an animal 30 lbs or more if needed. A working smart phone with unlimited data and a reliable mode of transportation are required. (Our top earners get around by bike, scooter, e-bike, moped, car or some other form of wheeled transport. However, some routes might be doable by MTA. Candidates who are able to bike or drive can handle a larger, fuller route due to being able to get around quickly, and are therefore able to earn more than those who are restricted to subway and bus) THINK YOU MIGHT JUST LOVE WORKING WITH ANIMALS FOR A LIVING? WANT TO TRADE IN (HUMAN) CO-WORKERS FOR CATS & DOGS? You've come to the right place! APPLY TODAY! Powered by JazzHR nyO7XNnzTu
