Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

WE'RE HIRING! Happy Paws is looking for a responsible animal lover to join our amazing team of dog walkers and cat sitters. The position is part-time, requires a commitment and schedule flexibility, including some weekends and holidays. This person will also be filling in for other team members during busy times, vacations, etc.

The position is ideal for someone semi-retired that is capable of walking in all weather conditions, or anyone with flexible availability Monday to Friday between 11am and 4pm, plus some weekends. (Please note that this position requires morning and afternoon availability and is likely not well suited for a student.)

What you'll love about working at Happy Paws:

• We think that our team is pretty great.
• No two days are the same.
• Our clients are awesome pet parents and humans.

Some things that are true about the right candidate:

• Experience and a good comfort level with cats and different types of dogs is mandatory (we walk some pretty large breeds).
• Physical ability to walk dogs regularly is a must.
• Last minute changes don't frazzle you.
• You can submit a clean criminal background check (we don't like to ask for it, but need to since you will be entering people's homes).
• You're not allergic to cats or dogs.
• You have a reliable car.
• You have a cell phone with a data plan.

Our clients are located in Burlington, Oakville and Milton, so the ideal candidate lives close by and doesn't mind driving to neighbouring cities..

In your application, please indicate why you believe that you would be a good fit. Feel free to include any questions that you have for us as well.
