Animal Lover Wanted For Pet Care In NYC
Are you a total animal lover, someone who has always loved dogs and cats? Come on over to the bark side! We are looking to hire some serious animal lovers to walk and care for our beloved pups and 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 and cats, M-F (plus some nights and weekends on request)! Our professional pet caretakers receive: Full health insurance Industry-leading compensation Paid training and paid industry certifications Extremely affordable vision and dental plans 401(k) Commuter benefits Paid sick days and paid vacations Field support Backup staff Opportunity for growth and management track Liability insurance and bonding And a whole host of other amazing benefits! 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 parents! Requirements: First and foremost you must love dogs and cats. Beyond that, we look for someone who can master the three aspects of this job: Be great with the pets! Be comfortable communicating with people! Be adept at using technology! Here are some other basic job requirements: 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 Available to work M-F, 10AM-6PM, plus some nights and weekends as requested in advance, plus one major holiday season (Christmas or Thanksgiving) 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 smartphone 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 and dogs? You've come to the right place! Apply today!
