What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pet Sitter/Dog Walker position at Glad Wags Professional Pet Care Services?
We're looking for local animal lovers to join our team!
Glad Wags is a locally owned and operated professional pet care company in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
If you love the outdoors and enjoy walking, we have many four-legged clients who would love to join you!
We care for dogs of all sizes and breeds with varying activity levels. Our sitters enjoy walks with the pups and indoor playtime, yard play, and even pool time (when requested). Along with outdoor time, our furry friends often enjoy additional one-on-one time with their sitter for extra cuddles and a nice brushing. In turn, you'll receive loads of luv 'n licks!
Our employees enjoy a work culture that promotes mutual respect, compassion for all animals, and kindness and patience toward our clients and their pets. We enjoy a casual working environment and thoroughly enjoy the solitude of walking a dog or petting a cat. Being in their presence and soaking up their amazing energy makes this the best job ever!
Our sitters come from all walks of life, from scientists to social workers. This is an ideal position if you're looking for supplemental income.
