Shoreline Happy Paws has been trusted by local families since 2010. Our trained team walks and hikes dogs every week, and we want our neighbors to see the care behind every visit. That is your job: part dog walking, part telling our story.

Film and edit 3 short videos a week for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook

Write captions in our warm, helpful voice
Share our Founder's weekly blog across our platforms
Capture behind-the-scenes moments with the team and at community events
Track results and share a short monthly report on what is working

Dogs come first. Safety always wins over getting the shot
You are comfortable on camera, and you have a portfolio of video, photo, and design work to share
Everything you make is real. Our content is 100% organic. No AI-written captions, no AI-generated images, no em dashes.
You give and receive feedback openly, and you ask questions when something is unclear
You protect our clients' privacy. Nothing identifiable about their homes ever appears in a post
You own it. Once trained, the calendar runs without reminders
Schedule Monday through Friday, generally 8am to 1pm or 9am to 2pm
