About us
Five Paws of Delaware County is a small business based out of Delaware County, PA. Our goal is to provide the very best reliable animal care when owners can't be there!

We have designed our company to provide the very best services while offering our employees a great work environment! We offer a variety of services to our clients including daily dog walks, vacation visits, overnight visits and cat care. As the company continues to quickly grow, we are looking to add several more animal lovers to our team.

*We have an immediate opening for someone looking for mainly daytime work - Monday through Friday! Our ideal candidate is located near Aston, Media or Glen Mills, and have dog walking experience (personal or professional).

This is an employee position where you will be paid per completed visit. Our regular employees average $17-$20/hour plus tips.
