Requirements

~1 min read

Because our services are provided in clients’ homes, applicants must live in or very near our service areas. This requirement is especially important because Pet Care Specialists travel between client homes during their assigned work.

Preferred locations include:

Coral Gables
Coconut Grove

East Kendall
Pinecrest
Palmetto Bay

Applicants must:

Be 18 years or older

Be physically able to walk dogs and climb stairs
Be comfortable working outdoors in Miami weather
Be dependable, responsible, and detail-oriented
Be able to commit to the role for at least 9 months

Previous pet care experience is helpful but not required.

This is a part-time position with flexible scheduling between visits.

Our scheduling needs vary by service. Weekday daytime availability is important for dog walking and puppy visits. Pet sitting needs are early mornings, later evenings and on weekends.

Availability is an important consideration, but it is not the only factor in hiring decisions.

Miami Pet Concierge prioritizes highly qualified candidates who demonstrate professionalism, reliability, sound judgment, and a genuine love of animals, along with a commitment to remain in the role for at least 9 months.
Scheduling needs may vary over time, and strong candidates with different availability are still encouraged to apply.

We are hiring part-time Pet Care Specialists (Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters) who will be responsible for providing reliable, high-quality in-home pet care.

This is a professional role built on trust.

Clients rely on us to show up on time, follow detailed instructions, make sound decisions, and care for both their pets and their homes.

Every visit matters. Every interaction contributes to a client’s peace of mind.

This is not casual pet sitting or occasional gig work.

This is a role for responsible individuals who understand that pet care is built on:

Trust
Consistency
Communication
Attention to detail
Sound judgment

You are not just completing tasks—you are maintaining a relationship of trust between MPC and our clients.

At Miami Pet Concierge, we do not measure success only by completed visits.

We measure success by the trust clients place in us—and the peace of mind they feel knowing their pets are in capable hands.

Every visit you complete either strengthens or weakens that trust.

Our goal is simple:
Deliver care we would trust for our own pets.
