About the Opportunity

This is a very part-time, independent contractor opportunity with no set or guaranteed hours. Contractors are offered pet care assignments based on client needs and availability and may accept or decline assignments.

Because the amount of work can vary from week to week, this opportunity is best suited for someone looking to supplement their income, rather than someone seeking a primary or guaranteed source of income.

Potential assignments may include drop-in visits, dog walks, in-home pet sitting, and overnight care in clients’ homes.

Responsibilities

● Provide attentive and compassionate care for dogs, and cats

● Follow each pet’s established feeding, medication, exercise, and care routine

● Provide dog walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship

● Provide overnight/in-home pet sitting when accepting those assignments

● Send professional updates and photos during visits

● Monitor pets for changes in behavior, appetite, or wellbeing

● Maintain clients’ homes respectfully while providing care

● Communicate reliably and professionally regarding accepted assignments

Independent Contractor Requirements

Applicants must:

● Be 18 years of age or older

● Have reliable personal transportation and a valid driver’s license and car insurance

● Have a reliable smartphone

● Have their own pet sitter liability insurance or be willing to obtain coverage (plans are available for approximately $29/month)

● Be willing to pay for and successfully pass an independent background check

● Be dependable and able to follow detailed pet-care instructions

● Be comfortable working independently in clients’ homes

● Have genuine experience and confidence caring for animals

● Be comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities

Pet First Aid/CPR certification and professional pet-care experience are a plus, but a genuine commitment to safe, responsible animal care is most important.
