The Animal’s Kingdom Pet Sitting has provided professional in-home pet care throughout the Valley for 29 years. We are looking for dependable, experienced animal-care professionals who want to build an ongoing part-time role in professional pet care.

About the Position
We provide individualized in-home care for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, birds, reptiles, and small animals.
In addition to everyday pet care, our team specializes in senior pets, pets with medical or special-care needs, and medication administration. Strong observation skills and hands-on animal experience are especially valuable.
This is an ongoing independent contractor position with recurring client assignments. It is not an on-demand position where providers simply select occasional visits whenever they choose to work. Our caregivers build relationships with regular clients and provide dependable coverage within the availability they commit to.
Because we are an established company with a large existing client base, you do not need to find or market to your own clients. We handle client booking, scheduling, billing, and administrative support while helping you build a consistent client schedule within your service area.
What You’ll Do
- Provide professional in-home pet care
- Feed pets, refresh water, walk dogs, and maintain clean pet areas
- Administer medications as instructed
- Monitor behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being

- Availability during at least two of our daily service windows
- Seven-day-a-week availability within those selected service windows
- Major holiday availability
- Fingerprint clearance or ability to obtain it
Typical Service Windows
Morning: 6 AM–9 AMMidday: 11 AM–2 PMEvening: 6 PM–9 PMOptional Sleepovers: 8 PM–7 AM
Applicants do not need to be available all day, but must have consistent availability during at least two service windows throughout the week. Because pets require care seven days a week, including weekends, this position is best suited to someone without recurring weekday restrictions.
What We Offer
- Established client base
- Professional training and ongoing development
- Flexible scheduling within your committed availability
- Base visit pay plus gratuities
- Additional pay for specialty-care assignments
- Uniform allowance
- Booking, billing, and administrative support
