Our ideal candidate is someone who will put in the time to get to know their daily pack - some dogs you will have everyday and some you will have every other day - the route changes based on the day.

PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS - ONLINE APPLICATIONS ONLY

Paws’ Re Us is a fast-growing dog walking service that provides dog services in central Etobicoke. As a premier dog walking service we strive to hire individuals that have a passion for dogs and can commit to over one year with our team.
We are looking for candidates who are okay with starting out slow - 1 to 2 dogs per day - and growing their route over time. This position is a great side-hustle for someone who works from home with a flexible schedule & can commit the hours requested below to Paws’ Re Us Dog Walkers.

Hours needed are Monday to Friday between 9 am and 3 pm

PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU LIVE WITHIN OR CLOSE TO ETOBICOKE.

Requirements:

• Previous experience professionally working and/or volunteering with dogs (strongly preferred)
• You must be comfortable with walking dogs of all breeds and sizes.
• You must possess a client-focused attitude and a desire to comply with our clients' wishes/preferences regarding their dog's needs and care. We want people who care about animals AND people.
• Have a minimum of 3 personal and/or professional references
• Be bondable (no criminal convictions - background check will be required)
• You must be incredibly reliable. You must enjoy (or be able to work through) being outside in the rain, snow, cold and miserable weather. The dogs never take a day off from needing a walk, so we don't either. You will need to be prepared and make sure you have the proper outdoor clothing, etc.
• You must be able to work with little supervision, yet in public spaces with ample possible customers watching.
• You must have common sense, understand how to create efficient routes based on dogs' addresses, and possess good decision-making skills.
• You must have a reliable cell phone with data, as we use a gps to get from one client to the other.
