Do you love dogs (and cats) and being outside? We are hiring dog walkers/pet sitters in Brooklyn to add to our established team.
This is the perfect job for artists, musicians, actors, retirees, stay at home parents, or writers that need some stable income (15 to 25 hours per week), but the flexibility to pursue their other passions. The current position is for 3-4 weekdays (Monday-Friday) during the hours of 10:30am-5pm.
Dog walking is a very physical job (averaging 5-8 miles walking per day), so you will get in great shape. But, it’s also an outdoor job and you must be willing to work in all weather conditions - hot, humidity, rain, etc. The position also requires having your own bike and being comfortable and able to bike around Brooklyn neighborhoods to appointments. If you don’t have a bike and cannot bike, we will NOT hire you, as it is not feasible to walk or take public transportation between your appointments and remain on schedule.
Previous experience in pet sitting and animal care is required. You must be very comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs, as well as their temperaments. Although we do not do pack walks, you must also be able to walk 2 or 3 dogs at a time, if needed.
This is a job that also requires punctuality, organizational skills and resourcefulness. You must be able to solve problems on your own, if necessary, and work independently during your route. Customer service skills are also necessary as you will be interacting with clients.
HouseBroken has been serving Brooklyn for over 23 years. All of our walkers are employees (not independent contractors) with the associated benefits and protections that come with being an employee - including worker’s comp, disability and paying a portion of your employment taxes.We offer generous compensation depending on your experience. We also provide paid sick time, vacation time, 401K, and other additional earning opportunities.
If you think you are a good fit for our team of dog walkers, please send us a brief note and your resume.
