Pet Care Specialist (Pet Sitter/Dog Walker) Job Description Overview

  • Pet sitters must be comfortable performing new client consultations, which are essentially interviews, for new pet sitting jobs. Sitters must also be comfortable referring to existing client notes and filling in for Pet Care Team members that are unable to service a primary client. 
  • Pet sitting visits range from 10 minutes to full overnights and are usually done at roughly the same time each day to keep continuity for the animals. For example, most cat sitting assignments consist of one visit per day while dog sitting assignments can range from 2-4 visits per day along with extended evening and overnight visit requests. Most pet sitting assignments are 1-2 weeks in length, but some may just be a few days, some are also on-going basis. Visits are spread out during pet sitting hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. with overnight sits being 10pm to 6am. Pet sitters must be willing to take on all types of assignments.
  • Time will be spent walking dogs, feeding animals, cleaning up any messes they (and you) have made, scooping litter boxes and picking up poop, and some play or TLC time. All dogs must be kept on leash on walks. Executive Pet Services does not pack walk. Walkers will only be walking multiple dogs if they are from the same family. Mail and newspaper pick up, trash removal and house plant care are also sometimes included at the request of the client.
  • Even when it is raining or snowing dogs need to go out. Walkers must have rain/snow gear and feel comfortable driving/walking in the rain/snow.
  • Occasionally clients are home sick or working from home. You must be comfortable running into clients.
  • You will be required to use a personally owned mobile device to complete reports to the office to confirm that everything is moving forward and has been completed, as well as ensure the sitters safety. 
  • You will also be required to leave detailed notes and complete visit journals to send inclusive of photos and/or videos to each client. Sitters must be comfortable using an internet-capable mobile device on the job.
  • Sitters must be comfortable holding keys to clients homes and take responsibility to not loose keys or get locked out.
  • Sitters must respect client confidentiality. Friends and/or children are not permitted to be present on visits nor should sitters discuss with anyone that a particular client is away.
  • Employees must also be willing to attend continuing education courses as requested by Executive Pet Services management.
  • You may be required to lift up to 100lbs rarely (possibly assisted), up to 50lbs occasionally, and 25 lbs regularly.
  • You may be required to walk a large number of miles with short breaks.
  • You may be required to climb stairs, sit, stand, crouch, kneel or run.
  • You will be required to drive your personal vehicle for work purposes.

Salary:

  • Competitive wages dependent on experience, workload, performance and commissions.

Full Time / Part Time Status:

  • Part-Time with the potential to increase hours and possibly work in other capacities.
