    Dog Walking and Pet Sitting Jobs in New York City

  • Petaholics, New York's City's premier pet care company, seeks dog walkers and pet sitters. You must be a true animal lover with previous pet care experience, ideally dog walking, pet sitting, volunteering in a shelter, or working at a doggy daycare, kennel, or veterinarian's office.

    Because we pride ourselves on providing a high level of service to our clients, you must have excellent presentation and communication skills. Our assignments provide an incredible opportunity to spend time with a variety of animals on a part-time basis to supplement an existing income, getting exercise and meeting great people.

    Pet sitting can be a great supplemental income for the right people, especially students, musicians, artists and writers who would like to earn around $100-$250 a week for dog walking and less for pet sitting.

    Assignments range from visiting pets while their parents work or travel, to staying overnight at a client’s home to insure the safety of their pet and household.

    Job Duties
    Pet sitters and dog walkers are responsible for:

    • The well being and overall care of our clients' pets, must be crazy about pets and have experience caring for them!
    • Managing clients' needs and preferences with a commitment to providing a superior level of care
    • Being free to work every day, from Monday through Friday between 11:00am and 4:00pm for dog walking. Please do not apply for the dog walking job if you cannot guarantee availability during those hours everyday m-f.
    • Have excellent work and personal references
    • Trustworthiness, plenty of common sense, and an ability to follow detailed clients instructions are key criteria to working with us.
    You should be aware that this type of work is a big responsibility…living, breathing animals will be relying on you to be a punctual, organized and competent care giver. If quick cash is what you’re after, this is NOT your best bet. If animals are your passion, you’ll feel right at home with us.

    Pet sitters and dog walkers must be:

    • True animal lovers comfortable handling dogs of all sizes
    • Resistant to inclement weather, including cold, snow, humidity, and rain

CLIENTS' TESTIMONIALS

I have really enjoyed working for Petaholics these last three years. From my first day to my last I knew I could, if I needed to, call Jordan or Christine with a problem. I had a couple of unfortunate incidents that no dog walker should have to deal with, and the staff was quick to help me and gave me great support during the problems. Every dog and owner I have worked with have all been very nice and wonderful. Petaholics does a great job of scanning the incoming clients to ensure an ideal work environment. The same goes for my fellow dog walkers: the few I have had the opportunity to meet have all been very professional. I would highly recommend Petaholics as an employer to any one looking for part time work.
