What are the responsibilities and job description for the Weekend Dog Walker & Cat Sitter position at Creature Comforts of Columbia?
Established in 2013, Creature Comforts of Columbia is a local and well-loved in-home pet care company, meeting the needs of a wide variety of pets and clients. We are a rapidly growing company serving Central to Southwest Columbia. Our primary services are dog walking, adventure hikes, and cat vacation care. You can learn more about us at www.comopets.com.
Weekends are when our clients travel and count on us most. This is a dedicated weekend role. You will care for pets in our clients' homes while they are away, mainly cat vacation care along with dog walks. The work varies depending on the client's needs and the service provided, with visits running across the day to match each pet's feeding, potty, and playtime routine.
We are seeking professionals who not only love animals but also understand the responsibilities and skills involved in caring for them. We are looking for individuals with a positive attitude, strong time management, and a high level of integrity. Previous work with animals in a veterinary, boarding, or doggy daycare setting is a plus.
This job entails driving your personal vehicle from client to client, so a reliable, insured vehicle with the ability to transport animals is required. Employees generally average 100 miles per 20 hours worked.
If you have a weekday job, are a retiree, or want weekend work with animals, this may be a perfect fit for you.
Please note: because weekend and holiday coverage is the heart of this role, you must be available every Saturday and every Sunday, including holidays. If you are a student who goes home or out of town over breaks and holidays, this is not a good fit.
A few requirements
- Available every Saturday and Sunday, including holidays.
- Must be over 21 years of age.
