What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dog Walker position at Waggin' & Waddlin' LLC?
At Waggin’ & Waddlin’, loving animals isn’t a perk of the job — it’s the reason we’re here.
We’ve built our company around something pretty simple: caring for our clients’ pets the way we would want someone to care for our own. We know their personalities, their quirks, what makes them excited, what makes them nervous, and all the little things that make them them. We become attached to the animals we care for, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
As our company continues to grow, we’re looking for another person to become part of that. We’re selective about who joins our team because our clients trust us with their pets, their homes, and a very important part of their families. We’re looking for someone who understands the weight of that trust and genuinely wants to build relationships with the animals in their care.
The Role
- Provide one-on-one dog walks and individualized pet care
- Get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs
- Send photos and thoughtful updates after each visit
- Travel between clients’ homes throughout your scheduled route
- Keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy
- Communicate closely with our team and clients
Who We’re Looking For
- Someone who genuinely loves and respects animals
- Dependable, patient, attentive, and trustworthy
- We need the most help midday Tuesday - Thursday, however, candidates will receive additional consideration if they are consistently available midday Monday - Friday.
- Comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities
- Comfortable working outdoors year-round
- Valid driver’s license and reliable, insured vehicle
- Able to work independently while still being part of a team
- Looking for a consistent, ongoing position
Experience in professional pet care is a plus, but the person behind the experience matters just as much to us. We provide paid training and hands-on shadowing to make sure every team member feels confident and prepared.
What We Offer
- $16.50–$18.50/hour based on experience
- Paid travel time between visits
- Mileage reimbursement
- 100% of client tips
- PTO after 3 months
- Team outings once or twice per year
- Paid training and shadowing

Our care is one-on-one, never pack style. We believe in positive, fear-free handling and meeting each animal where they are.
For us, this has never been “just walking dogs.” It’s caring for someone’s family — and we’re looking for people who feel the same way.
