Love dogs? Daydream about working outside? Have a soft spot in your heart for drool and picking up poo?? Then read on! (Generic responses with just a resume attached will be deleted.)
We are a small femme and vegan-owned dog walking company in the Financial District. This means we operate with the philosophy that each dog is a unique individual with their own personhood and set of desires and needs. In short, we put the dogs first. We are looking for a reliable individual to walk dogs and provide occasional overnight dog care in clients’ homes.
Currently seeking part time walkers with availability on Tuesdays & Fridays 11am - 5pm. We would like to grow your schedule into full time as more walks become available which is Monday - Friday, 10am - 6pm. We would also like you to be available OCCASIONAL weekends, holidays, mornings, evenings, and overnights. Hours will vary slightly depending on schedules and animals that need attending too. This will be further explained during the interview.
What we are looking for in our walkers:
Long term inquiries only. You will be asked to commit for at least 6 months.
Able to walk for at least 6 hours at a time and physically capable to handle dogs of all sizes
Able and willing to withstand ALL WEATHER CLIMATES (yes dogs still need to be walked when it’s pouring rain or snowing)
Own a working smart phone with ability to send and receive texts and take photos - you will be sending client updates via an app on your cell
EXCEPTIONAL TIME MANAGER - the pups are waiting behind closed doors and they’re relying on you to rescue them from their boredom (and let them tinkle!)
Possess a desire and willingness to learn about different dog breeds and how to do basic leash training and commands (training will be provided but it’s up to you to practice and hone these skills)
Be courteous and have stellar communication skills - you will be required to communicate to your supervisor throughout the day and with clients through text updates or in person
Be PROFESSIONAL - You will also be interacting with building concierge and tenants. How you conduct yourself reflects on the company
Must not be afraid to get dirty - this job can be messy and requires you to roll with the punches
Live in New York City and have a reliable means of transportation (subway, bus, bike, pogo stick…)
As a small company, we work very closely together. We are looking for someone who will be as excited about the growth as we are and dedicated to doing this rewarding work with us.
All of our walks are serviced in the Financial District of Manhattan

What is your experience with dogs/animals (professional or otherwise)? What are your hobbies and interests? Why do you see yourself walking dogs? Heck, include your favorite ice cream flavor! We want to get a feel for not just what you’ve done but who you are.
