Who is this job right for? This job is perfect if you’re looking for supplemental income in a fun, non-office environment. If you are looking for full-time steady employment, this isn’t the right job for you. But if you’re looking for a part-time job and are able to work when clients need you, you may be a good fit. You must be highly dependable as our clients depend on us to provide care to their furry family members. We’re dealing with living, breathing pets and you must be committed to ensuring visits occur not matter what. We work when our clients need us. Because of this, we do not have 9-5 jobs. We don’t guarantee schedules, we work early mornings and evenings, weekends, and holidays. We can’t guarantee a set number of hours per week because we make assignments when our clients make reservations. Because many of the pets we care for don’t do well in strange environments, they may be slow to trust strangers. Therefore we like to assign the same pet sitter to a client. Constant rotation of sitters can be distressing to pets, and the pets we care for form bonds with our sitters.
