This is an all-in-one pet care position that includes dog walking, pet sitting/drop-in visits, and in-home nail trimming for dogs and cats. This position is a great fit for someone who enjoys working independently, is comfortable traveling between clients, loves hands-on animal care, and wants the opportunity to build a regular book of clients over time. Schedule & Workload Monday through Friday availability is required, with some weekends and holidays required. This is not a traditional hourly position with a set number of hours each week. Team members are paid per completed service, and appointments are scheduled based on client demand. As new and existing clients need services, we will work to build your regular book of business. Because of this, the number of appointments may vary from week to week, particularly while your schedule is being established. Pet care also does not always follow a traditional 9-5 schedule. Appointments may occur at different times throughout the day, and there may be breaks between visits. Compensation $10
- 22 per completed service/appointment , depending on the type and length of service performed.

More important than having nail-trimming experience is being comfortable handling animals, willing to learn, dependable, and able to follow our training and safety procedures. What We're Looking For Loving animals is important, but professional pet care involves much more than spending time with pets. Our clients depend on us to show up when scheduled, follow detailed instructions, recognize when something isn't right, communicate clearly, and safely care for their animals and homes.
