The role

What the work looks like

  • Private walks with tailored enrichment

    Each walk is private and lasts 40 minutes, built around what that dog loves: sniffing, foraging, puzzles and calm time.

  • The same dogs, the same team

    You join a small care team assigned to each dog, so you get to know them and their families week after week.

  • A report card after every visit

    Photos, video and a short note in our app, so each family knows how their dog's day went.

Why you'll love working here

  • Ongoing training, guidance and open communication.
  • Independence and trust to do your job well.
  • Respect and recognition for your professionalism.
  • You're a W-2 employee on our payroll.
  • A shared mission: peace of mind for families and better lives for dogs across Atlanta.

Good to know before you apply

  • This is part-time work. Hours change week to week and aren't guaranteed, so it works best as extra income.
  • You'll be on your feet. Expect to walk about 4 to 5 miles a day, in all kinds of weather, like cold and rain.
  • You'll bend, kneel and crouch, including to pick up after the dogs.

Requirements

  • A heart for dogs and a head for responsibility.
  • 18 or older, and able to pass a background check.
  • A valid driver's license and a reliable car. You drive to clients' homes, and we pay mileage at the IRS rate.
  • A smartphone, and you're comfortable with apps and texting.
  • Available at least 4 hours between 11am and 4pm, three or more weekdays.

Application

As dog walkers, our schedules vary week to week and nothing is guaranteed. While it is possible to eventually make a full time living, this is intended to be supplemental income, not your primary source of income. Do you understand and agree?(Required)
