Description

K9 Second Line, a New Orleans dog walking and pet sitting service with over a decade of experience, is looking for part-time dog walkers and pet sitters for flexible dog walking and pet sitting appointment requests. We are hiring for immediate availability. This position is ideal for people who want to make some extra money from time to time by spending time with some pretty amazing pets. If you are a student, gig worker, or somebody who wouldn't mind making some extra money while exercising and releasing endorphins, this might be the right fit for you. We have a quick onboarding process which includes an interview via Zoom, in-person shadow training with our team members and some of our clients' pets, and direct training working within our app and our company best practices. Responsibilities: - Submit your schedule on a weekly basis. More availability is preferred. - Review assigned appointments and create a personal plan to complete appointments efficiently and on-time. - Independently complete appointment requirements during the appointment window and in the time allotted (usually 30 minutes in length). Responsibilities could include any of the following tasks: a dog walk, pet feeding, refreshing water, watering plants, bringing in and sorting mail and packages, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, securing the home, properly documenting the visit, and any other requirements of the visit. - Communicate with team members and team leaders where necessary. Compensation: - $13.25 per hour base, increased to $13.75 per hour after the first month training period. - Tips, paid either in cash at the appointment or semi-monthly. - Per-appointment commissions for personal clients brought to the company. Benefits: - Flexible scheduling - you request appointments for periods of time where you are available. Weekday, weeknight, weekend, and holiday appointments are all available. - Ability to grow within the company to an expanded role. - Ability to grow a personal dog walking and pet sitting business within our established and trusted brand. - Working with and exercising with animals usually relieves stress rather than piling it on. - Receive company training in pet exceptionalities and best practices that have led to us being a trusted name in New Orleans for over a decade. - Ability to retain ambassador status with the company to earn lifetime ongoing commissions and discounts on services. - You will almost exclusively work alone and independently. Challenges: - You must be able to work with various pet exceptionalities, including pets requiring medication, extreme patience, or firm handling. - You must provide your own vehicle, maintenance, and gas to get to appointments. - Appointment tasks can be quite physical, requiring a bit of walking, lifting, handling multiple heavy dogs, and cleaning pet waste. Non-negotiables: - You must be 18 or older and have a valid driver's license. - You must have personal access to reliable motorized transportation. In rare instances, it may be necessary to transport a pet, so your vehicle should be prepared to do that. - You must submit to and pass a federal criminal background check. - You must be able to work most nights and weekends, and all holidays. - You must be physically capable of completing all tasks required at an appointment.
