Weekend Pet Sitter/ Dog Walker

Prance Around Pet Services is looking for a fun, energetic, professional, and trustworthy animal lover to join our team. Our ideal pet care professional is the type of individual who stops random dogs while walking in the park to say hello and someone who would spend hours happily cuddling and playing with cats. While the work we do is most certainly rewarding and fulfilling, it comes with a great deal of responsibility and requires an individual that pays attention to detail. Our reputation is on the line and we are looking for the best of the best to join our team!

**This is a Weekend Position Only!**

Job Requirements:

• We are looking for individuals with open weekend availability. Our employees can be scheduled to work anytime between the hours 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturdays AND Sundays.
• All applicants must be at least 18 years of age or older.
• Applicants must live in or near our Germantown Branch location.
• Applicants must have their own insured vehicle to get to and from their scheduled pet care assignments.
• Applicants must be looking for long term employment. If you are looking for a temporary position until you find a permanent job or return to school, please do not apply.
• We are looking for individuals looking for actual employment and not a part-time gig. This is not like Rover.com. Daily schedules will depend on the pet care assignments booked by our clients for any given day.
• Because most of our work is "on the road", we require all employees to have access to a mobile phone at all time. The mobile phone must be a smart phone as the software we utilize requires an internet connection. Employees are expected to respond to management texts and calls during business hours of 8 a.m. - 8 p.m., as necessary.
• We care for a variety of pets (i.e. Dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, fish, etc.) Because of wide range of pets in our care, applicants must be physically capable of handling animals of various kinds and sizes.
• Regular responsibilities include cleaning up pet care areas, picking up pet waste during walks, scooping cat litter boxes, keeping feeding areas clean, feeding and medicating pets during vacation pet sitting assignments, as necessary.
• We walk dogs in the rain, snow and sleet. There are no exceptions as long as the weather conditions are safe enough to do so.

If you are the type of person that does not like stagnant office work, this job is for you. Every day will be different, and you will be meeting a variety of pets and sometimes even their two-legged humans. If you think this job would be a great fit for you, we encourage you to apply.

We look forward to speaking with you and making you a part of our fun and caring pet care team.
