When You Were a Kid...
Did you spend hours teaching your dog new tricks—even if they only learned one?
Did you build obstacle courses out of pillows and couch cushions?
Did you talk to your dog like they were your best friend (because they were)?
If that was you back then—and it’s still you now—we need to talk.

- If you’re the type who can talk to strangers about your favorite dog trick, we’d love for you to be one of our go-to event reps!
Our Promise:
We’re not just dog walkers—we’re routine-builders, behavior shapers, and pet parent lifelines. Our team members are part of a movement to give dogs the mental stimulation and care they need to thrive. And we’re growing. Fast.
If your inner kid is still in there—curious, compassionate, and head-over-heels for dogs—then this is more than a job.
It’s your calling. 🐾
