Pet Sitter/Dog Walker

If you're the kind of person who likes knowing what's expected, getting the information you need, and then being trusted to handle your work without someone standing over your shoulder, keep reading.

Wonder Pups Pet Care is a locally owned, award-winning pet sitting and dog walking company in Crestview, Florida. We're looking for another dependable person to join our Wonder Team.

This isn't a traditional shift job, and it definitely isn't sitting on someone's couch watching their dog sleep.

You'll spend your workday driving between clients' homes, managing your own route, following detailed care instructions, noticing when something isn't quite right, and making sure every pet and home is safe before you leave.

We provide the training, systems, schedule, and support.

You can follow someone else's instructions even when they're different from how you'd do things at home.

You communicate when something goes wrong instead of hoping nobody notices.

You can accept feedback, adjust, and move on without taking correction personally.

You manage your own time well.

And when nobody is watching, you still do the job correctly.

We don't expect you to already know our systems. That's what training is for. We do expect you to care about learning them.

• High school diploma or GED

• A clean background check

• A reliable vehicle and valid driver's license

• A smartphone with an active data plan

• Strong time-management and communication skills

• The ability to work independently while following detailed instructions

• The ability to accept feedback and learn established systems

• Compassion for nervous, senior, and special-needs pets

• Confidence around pets of all sizes and personalities, including dogs who may greet you with loud barking, jumping, nervousness, hiding, or other less than perfect manners

• The physical ability to walk, bend, reach, climb stairs, and lift at least 15 lbs

This is an hourly, part-time position, but it isn't one continuous shift.

Our schedule follows our clients' travel and work schedules. On your assigned days, visits may fall during our breakfast, dinner, and bedtime windows, with midday visits added as needed. You may work more than one visit window on the same day, with time between them.

Because people travel when they're off work, weekends and major holidays are an important part of this job.

Most Wonder Team members can earn around $200 to $300 or more per week or more, plus tips, part time, depending on availability and client demand.

Previous professional pet-care experience isn't required. We'll train the right person.

What matters much more to us is whether you're dependable, observant, comfortable making decisions, willing to learn, and capable of managing yourself once you've been trained.
 

Our hiring process moves quickly, and communication is part of what we're evaluating from the beginning. You'll hear from us throughout the process via email, and we'll need timely responses from you too.

If you'd rather be trusted with real responsibility than spend your day waiting for someone to tell you what to do next, we'd like to meet you.

Quit pawsing around and apply today. 🐾
