What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Walker and Pet Sitter position at Coastal Pet Sitting?
About Us
Coastal Pet Sitting has been a trusted name in the NH Seacoast community for over 20 years. We provide in-home pet care across Rockingham County — Brentwood, Exeter, Epping, Kingston, East Kingston, Hampton Falls, Stratham, Fremont, and surrounding towns. We're a small team under new local ownership that genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like our own.
The Role
We're looking for reliable, animal-loving people to join our team as Pet Care Associates. You'll visit clients' homes to care for their pets while they're at work or traveling. Each visit typically includes feeding, fresh water, playtime or a walk, and a quick photo update sent to the pet owner. It's simple, meaningful work — and if you love animals, it rarely feels like a job.
What You'll Do
- Complete in-home pet care/dog walking visits (typically 30–60 minutes each)
- Walk, feed, and spend quality time with dogs, cats, and other household pets
- Administer basic medications as directed by pet owners (training provided)
- Send photo updates to owners after each visit
- Log visit notes in our scheduling app (Timetopet — easy to learn, we'll train you)
- Handle client home keys with care and strict accountability
What We're Looking For
- Genuine love for animals — this one isn't negotiable
- Reliability and punctuality — our clients count on you showing up
- Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle (Required for driving to client’s house)
- Smartphone with data plan (required for scheduling and client communication)
- Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
- Ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule
- Willingness to pass a background check
Experience
- Prior experience with animals (personal or professional) strongly preferred
- Previous pet sitting, dog walking, or animal care work is a plus
- Vet tech or veterinary background welcome but not required
- Must be 16 or older
Please include in your application a quick message telling us a little about yourself — who you are, your experience with animals, and your general availability. We do our best to respond to every applicant within 48 hours. We do all interviews in person.
