Dog Walker Wanted

We are a professional dog walking company serving Greater Portland. We're looking for someone dependable, animal-loving, and ready to do meaningful work outdoors.

This is a legit, part-time job with consistent scheduling, paid training, and a team that genuinely supports you. Not a gig app. Not fly-by-night. We've been raising the bar for pet care in Portland and we take our team just as seriously as we do our clients.

THE JOB
Weekday shifts between 9AM4PM
Walk dogs back-to-back, covering 36 miles per shift
Work independently with team support always a call away
Rain, snow, or sun we're out there no matter what!
Use an app to manage your schedule and send client updates

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Available for 3 weekday shifts per week, each 56 hours
Reliable, insured vehicle (driving between clients is part of the job)
Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels including the big, bouncy ones
Punctual, communicative, and detail-oriented
Smartphone with data
Able to pass a background check
18 years or older

WHAT YOU GET
$17$22/hr including tips (all tips are 100% yours)
Paid training and ongoing education
Consistent weekly schedule you can count on
Merit and time-based raises
Bonuses and referral program
Opportunity to grow within the company
Best office views in Portland ocean breezes, fall foliage, snowy trails, and a lot of wagging tails

THIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU IF...
You're looking for full-time hours or a primary income
You don't enjoy working independently
Large or energetic dogs make you uncomfortable
You want the same routine every single day
You're not able to commit to a consistent weekly schedule
