I’m looking for a reliable, experienced dog walker to provide coverage for three large rescue dogs when I’m unavailable.

About the dogs:
Three large rescue dogs
One-hour walks
Each dog has a unique personality and background, so it’s key that you’re comfortable working with different behaviors
Experience with large, reactive, or rescue dogs is a significant asset

What I’m looking for:
Confident handling large dogs
Experience reading canine body language and managing different behaviors
Calm, patient, and safety-focused
Reliable and punctual
Comfortable following detailed instructions
Qualified, courteous, and comfortable interacting with clients, as you’ll be representing my dog walking business while providing care





About the position:This is a casual position with opportunities for vacation coverage at various times throughout the year, as well as the occasional walk or visit when needed. Most dates will be provided well in advance, although some shorter-notice coverage may occasionally be available.

Successful applicants will complete one or more meet-and-greet/training sessions before working independently. This allows you to become familiar with the dogs, their routines, and my handling expectations while ensuring it’s a positive fit for everyone.

Please tell me about your experience working with large, rescue, or behaviorally complex dogs, including any relevant training or certifications.

Pay: $55.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
