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

- 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.
