Dog Walking Route Details: We have immediate openings for WEST SEATTLE Weekday dog walkers. These positions work well for someone looking for part-time work, 2-5 hours a day.

Job Summary:

This is a physical job designed for true dog lovers. You will be walking independently and tasked with keeping clients' pets safe and following any instructions provided by the client. Ideal routes are normally within one neighborhood, but you will need to travel to multiple households during the day and provide your own transportation. We place great emphasis on safety, customer service, and self-reliance. Most walkers work an equivalent of 10-30 hours a week, but you can take on as many or as few service requests or clients as you choose. Our walkers find the flexibility that our company provides to be an ideal way to stay independent and balance other jobs, clients, or school with the freedom of self-employment.

• Perform safe neighborhood walks on leash as directed by the client 
• Time management and communication to accept/deny service requests
• Communicate with the office and clients within our select software platforms (we will train you on this!) 
• Provide excellent customer service
• Give all dogs attention, exercise, and care
