Overnight Pet Sitter, Multi Night Availability

Overnight Pet Sitter

Service Area: Mars, Cranberry Township, Wexford, Warrendale, Marshall Township, Seven Fields, and nearby North Hills communities

North Hills Pet Care is a young and growing local company providing professional dog walking and pet sitting services in clients’ homes throughout Pittsburgh’s North Hills.

We are hiring a dependable Overnight Pet Sitter who can accept several consecutive overnight assignments. Our greatest need is for sitters who can cover multi night reservations that span both weekdays and weekends. Longer trips may sometimes be divided between sitters based on availability and the client’s needs. However, applicants who are generally available for only occasional single nights are unlikely to be a good fit for this position.

We are actively building our local client base, so this is a flexible, part time opportunity best suited for someone looking for supplemental income rather than guaranteed full time hours.

Overnight assignments generally run from approximately 8 PM to 7 AM, although exact arrival and departure times depend on each client’s care plan.

• Part time employee position
• $7.25 per hour for overnight assignments
• A typical 11 hour overnight assignment pays $79.75
• Paid onboarding and required training at $17 per hour
• Assignments are offered based on client travel schedules

Responsibilities

Overnight Pet Sitters may be responsible for:

• Staying overnight in clients’ homes
• Completing detailed evening and morning care routines
• Feeding pets according to written instructions
• Walking dogs and providing potty breaks
• Administering medications when required
• Caring for dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, and multiple pet households
• Reviewing all pet, home, and assignment instructions before beginning care
• Following each client’s instructions accurately and consistently
• Sending detailed written updates and clear photos through our scheduling app
• Monitoring pets for changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, health, or comfort
• Communicating promptly when questions or concerns arise
• Keeping clients’ homes secure, tidy, and treated with care
• Completing reasonable household care tasks included in the client’s instructions

Scheduling Expectations

Reservations often span several consecutive nights, including weekdays and weekends. Longer trips can be divided between sitters when needed, but we are primarily seeking applicants who can reliably accept multiple nights in a row rather than only occasional single nights.

Before accepting an assignment, sitters may review the dates, location, pets, and general care requirements. Once a sitter accepts specific nights, those nights become firm work commitments.

Reliability is especially important because clients are traveling and depend on their assigned sitter to arrive and provide care as scheduled.

Required Qualifications

Applicants must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Be able to pass a background check
• Have a valid driver’s license
• Have a reliable personal vehicle and current auto insurance
• Have a smartphone with reliable service
• Be comfortable staying alone overnight in clients’ homes
• Have reliable transportation to client homes throughout the service area listed above
• Have hands on pet care experience
• Be comfortable caring for pets with different routines, personalities, ages, and care needs
• Be able to follow detailed written instructions accurately
• Be able to write clear, detailed, and professional client updates
• Be dependable, organized, observant, and comfortable working independently
• Have a schedule that allows for several consecutive overnight assignments

Pet care experience may come from personal pet ownership, pet sitting, fostering, rescue work, kennels, veterinary work, or another animal care setting.

Preferred Experience

The following experience is helpful but not required:

• Overnight pet sitting or house sitting
• Caring for large or strong dogs
• Caring for puppies or senior pets
• Administering oral or topical medications
• Caring for multiple pet households
• Veterinary, kennel, shelter, rescue, or fostering experience
• Providing detailed updates to pet owners
