Dog Walker

Do you like dogs? Do you like hiking? Are you open to driving quite a bit? Do you communicate well via the phone, talking, text, and email? Are you responsible and trustworthy without a whole lot of oversight? Are you covid vaccinated? If yes to all of the above, read on.

Want to go hiking with dogs and get paid for it? Are you available on Monday and Tuesday from 8am-4PM and Wednesday through Friday from 10AM-6PM?

You must own a car capable of transporting 6 (+) dogs comfortably (Pickups with shells and cars with hatchbacks are great). You must have a clean driver's license, a smart phone with gps, the ability to pass a background check, text and data, a strong love for dogs and hiking, a focus on safety and an excellent work ethic. You must be fully covid vaccinated and have proof. You should be comfortable with dogs and confident that you can handle up to 6 of them on a leash (and off), ranging in size from 10 lbs to 150 lbs. You'll be hiking 2-4 miles per hour-long hike, up to 2 hikes a day, you'll be transporting dogs to and from our store in Martinez from dog's homes and you may also perform neighborhood pet services for our clients.

Diablo Dog is a small company, which has operated in Contra Costa County for 10+ years and prior to that the owner has 12 years of animal training experience. We are close with our clients and take our responsibility to them and their humans very seriously.

Please include with your email - a resume, a photo of your actual vehicle, proof of covid vaccination, and a cover letter. After an initial interview we'll have you join a hike so you can see what the job entails. If you get the position, you will start assisting other walkers, and then you'll begin picking up your own dogs, providing services on your own such as walks, potty breaks or transporting dogs. This is a varied position do openness to an ever changing schedule is a must.

I'd suggest you take a look at our website (The video and gallery especially) to get an idea of what we do. http://diablodogwalking.com/ The Facebook page is also a good real time representation: https://www.facebook.com/DiabloDogWalking/

You will be an independent contractor. You will be responsible for your own equipment (leashes, water bowl, pack), and gas. Once you see how we operate, we take care of providing clients and scheduling, and you take it from there.

Thank you! Matt
