Job Description

Privileged Paws is now hiring!

With over 600 happy clients, Privileged Paws is the premiere dog walking and pet-sitting provider for North Dallas. Since 2015, we have believed that pet care is not a hobby and more than just a job. Come join our amazing employee-based team, where we believe in ongoing learning, a supportive management team, and competitive wages. 

Position:

• Pet Care Specialist with a strong emphasis on dog walking.
• Dog Walking Schedule: Monday through Friday, generally from 7:30am to 3:00pm. Please note that your schedule would depend on your availability, performance, and client demand. No two weeks are ever alike in the pet care industry.
• You may have dog-walking opportunities until about 5:30 p.m. We believe the next dog walker will work 25 to 30 hours per week, but this role is not designed to exceed 30 hours per week. 
• This next role will be in Dallas, but we also service Bluffview, Highland Park, Knox-Henderson, Melshire Estates, Midway Hollow, Northwood Hills, Oak Lawn, Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Prestonwood, Russwood Acres, Univeristy Park and Uptown. 

Compensation:

$18 - $20 / hour (the position will start from $18-$20 per hour before, depending upon experience plus bonuses, 100% client gratuity, and future performance reviews)

$1800 - $2400 / month (earnings will be dependent on your availability, performance, and client demand)

• Mileage reimbursement (we design routes to limit driving to 10 minutes or less between clients whenever possible). 
• Increased pay for major holiday pet visits
• Candidate and client referral bonuses. 
• Paid training, including Pet CPR and First Aid Certifications
• Overnight care is performed from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and is compensated at the rate of $88 per night. 

The responsibilities:

• Create a safe and positive walking environment for our clients' dogs. 
• Follow the client-provided care instructions, including training preferences.
• Provide detailed and attentive care for our client's cats.
• Give our clients first-class customer service with a personal touch.
• Communicate with clients via phone/app and photographs.
• Contribute to the team effort by working as a team player.
• Practice time management to ensure on-time arrivals for all assigned visits.

The ideal candidate:

• Former Wag and Rover walkers will appreciate the support Privileged Paws provides. 
• An honest, patient, and enthusiastic candidate who can provide our client's dogs and cats with the highest quality visits possible.
• The candidate should have a strong understanding of safety and time management.
• Previous professional or volunteer experience with animals is preferred, but a positive attitude with a desire to learn is just as important.
• The candidate should enjoy an active work environment, walking independently and working outdoors regardless of weather conditions.
• Candidates with evening, weekend, and holiday availability are given special consideration. 
• This is an excellent opportunity for people looking to start a career or grow their current professional experience with dogs.
• Many members of our staff were previously dog walkers with on-demand services, doggy daycare staff, dog groomers, or volunteers at a local shelter.
• The candidate should have an innate desire to care for animals while ensuring their safety. 

We are a diverse team, and we welcome all individuals with a love of animals to apply!
