Group Dog Walker (Midday Pack Walks)

This Is Not a Casual Dog Walking Job

We're looking for reliable, detail-oriented professionals who take pride in their work—not someone looking for occasional or “easy” work.

If you're someone who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about animals, you'll thrive here. If not, this likely won't be the right fit.

Compensation

• Negotiable: $20 to $23 per hour , depending on experience
• Opportunities for growth and performance-based raises
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Mileage reimbursement

Candidates with professional dog handling experience (daycare, training, veterinary, or similar) will be considered at the higher end of the pay range.

Schedule (Consistency Required)

• Monday through Friday (required)
• Between 9:00 AM to 3:00/4:00 PM
• This is a set weekday commitment — not a flexible or occasional role

Please do not apply if you are unavailable during these hours or are looking for supplemental/side work only.

What You'll Do

• Transport and safely handle groups of 4 to 6 dogs using your own vehicle
• Lead structured, controlled group walks (not free-for-all outings)
• Manage pack behavior and maintain safety at all times
• Walk multiple miles daily in varying weather conditions
• Provide detailed, professional updates to clients after each visit
• Follow precise care instructions—no shortcuts

Non-Negotiable Requirements

Applicants who do not meet these requirements will not be considered:

• Reliable personal vehicle that can safely transport 4 to 6 dogs
• Willingness to use your own vehicle daily (we provide mileage reimbursement, not a company car)
• Valid driver's license + clean driving record
• Punctuality and reliability are critical — clients depend on us daily
• Comfortable handling multiple dogs of different sizes and temperaments
• Physically able to walk several miles per day
• Smartphone with consistent access for communication and visit reports

What Sets You Apart

We prioritize candidates who:

• Have professional dog handling experience (daycare, shelter, training, veterinary, or pet sitting)
• Are calm, confident, and observant with group dynamics
• Take initiative and communicate proactively
• Are looking for long-term, stable work , not a temporary role

This Role Is NOT a Fit If You:

• Are frequently late or struggle with time management
• Prefer working alone without accountability
• Are uncomfortable handling multiple dogs at once
• Do not have a reliable vehicle suitable for transporting dogs
• Are looking for occasional, short-term, or “easy” work

Application Step (Required to Be Considered)

To help us find serious candidates, please include the following in your application :

1. A brief description of your experience with dogs (personal and/or professional)
2. The make/model of your vehicle and confirmation that it can safely transport 4 to 6 dogs
3. Your availability (confirm Monday through Friday morning and midday availability)
4. A short answer to this question:
   What would you do if one dog in your group became reactive during a walk?

Applications that do not include these responses will not be considered.
