What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Pet Sitter & Dog Walker – Mornings, Evenings & Weekends position at No Place Like Home Pet Sitting & Dog Walking?
Looking for flexible part-time work? Join our pet care team!
Crisp fall mornings, colorful South Jersey neighborhoods, happy dogs waiting for their walks, and plenty of furry faces to brighten your day — if that sounds better than a typical part-time job, we may have the perfect opportunity for you.
No Place Like Home Pet Sitting & Dog Walking has been caring for local pets since 2010, and we're looking for dependable, compassionate animal lovers to join our team.
Morning, Evening and Weekend Availability Needed
We're especially looking for people who have consistent availability during one or more of the following time periods:
- Mornings between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
- Evenings between 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
- Saturdays and/or Sundays
You do not need to be available for every time period. We're happy to hear from applicants who are consistently available for mornings, evenings, weekends, or a combination of these.
This schedule can be a great fit for:
- People with traditional weekday jobs looking for supplemental income
- College students with class schedules that leave mornings or evenings open
- Active retirees looking for flexible part-time work
- Anyone who enjoys staying active and spending time with animals
- People looking for part-time work that can fit around another job or regular commitment

- Walk dogs and provide exercise, companionship, and lots of attention
- Care for cats and occasionally other small pets
- Feed pets and refresh water
- Administer medications when needed
- Scoop litter boxes and clean up the occasional pet mess
- Send photos and detailed visit updates through our easy-to-use app
- Travel between clients' homes throughout your scheduled work period

- Comfortable working independently
- Confident using a smartphone for scheduling, photos, and visit reports
