What You Need

Adaptability: Our schedules are flexible and sometimes irregular with last-minute requests and cancellations. Some days will be busier than others.
Meticulousness: Caring for animals requires paying close attention to detail. There are a lot of instructions to follow with no room for error.
Strong stomach: We clean up everything that comes out. If you have an aversion to dealing with waste/vomit, this isn’t the job for you.
Fitness: Our furry friends need a lot of exercise. We walk up and down lots of hills in all kinds of weather.
Patience: Many pets we sit for have special needs that can range from emotional issues to needing pills, injections, or fluids.

Minimum Requirements

Experience: Working with animals, either professionally or as a rescue volunteer.
Maturity: You must be 25+ years old.
Equipment: Vehicle, computer (internet), printer, smart phone.

Schedule

All days and shifts are available. Your ability to work nights, evenings, and provide overnight stays is a plus.
