Experienced dog walker/pet sitter needed M-F

Jordan's Pet Care needs one to two excellent dog walkers/pet sitters for M-F and occasional weekends or overnights to begin asap. JPC is a local woman-owned business that has been taking excellent care of animals since 2010. We strive to provide compassionate and loving pet care while creating an inclusive work environment where our employees feel appreciated and respected. We work in Park Slope and all of the neighborhoods surrounding it.

The position requires:

• Someone who is available M-F between 10-6 (no ongoing conflicts)
• Available to work on some holidays (more than time and a half pay for these holidays!)
• Able to work in all weather conditions
• Able to walk for 5-8 hours per day (8-12 visits per day!)
• You should have internet access and a smart phone
• MUST have experience with animals and be comfortable with all breeds of dogs large or small with varying temperaments as well as cats.
• No cat or dog allergies please! Must be able to work with BOTH cats and dogs!
• Ideal candidate can do overnights in a clients home and occasional evening walks
• There are many opportunities to make extra money and pick up extra work
• Looking for someone who is friendly, responsible, communicative, and a team player
• Personal/work references and background check required
• Minimum 9 month commitment required

This is a service job and sometimes you will have to interact with clients so you must be friendly.

Skills that make a good candidate:

• LOVE for animals and lots of experience with them
• attention to detail
• timeliness
• good communication skills
• team player
• strong work ethic and desire to make money!
• Very responsible and reliable

Due to the nature of this job you should live in Brooklyn. It is also preferred that you are at least 21 years old.

Dog walking is a fun and rewarding job but can also be a lot of work. We want our walkers to enjoy their job but also expect a high level of responsibility and reliability. You must be good at managing time.

The pay is generous and opportunities for evening/weekend walks (at a higher level of pay) as well as dog sitting will come up often so the more availability you are the more money you will make. We do not have a lot of turnover and find our walkers tend really like their jobs. We encourage a friendly environment where you'll be part of a team and want our walkers to stay with us (happily) as long as possible.

If you're interested please send an email and cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why you'd be great for this job, what your experience with animals is (both personal and/or professional), please include a resume in the body of your email (even if you don't have professional experience with animals).

Thanks for reading. We look forward to hearing from you!
