Laurie’s Paws On The Go is growing, and we’re looking for another dependable Care Professional to join our team in the Shelburne/Orangeville area.

We already have established clients in this area and are continuing to grow. We’re specifically looking for someone who wants versatile pet-care work and has availability to take on walks, drop-ins, vacation care and overnights as opportunities come up.

This is an independent subcontractor opportunity, not a guaranteed-hours position. Services are offered based on client demand and your availability.

What you may be doing:

Private dog walks — one household at a time

Drop-in pet visits

Feeding and routine pet care

Puppy and senior care

Vacation care

Evening and weekend visits

Overnight pet sitting in clients’ homes

Our regular service window is 7 AM–10 PM.

We are especially interested in someone with evening, weekend and overnight availability. Daytime availability is also valuable.

You must

Be 18+

Have a valid driver’s licence and reliable vehicle

Have a smartphone with reliable data

Be dependable and comfortable working independently

Be comfortable entering clients’ homes

Follow detailed care and safety instructions

Communicate professionally and reliably

Be comfortable working outdoors year-round

Be willing to obtain a police record check

Be willing to obtain appropriate pet-care liability insurance

Experience with dogs is required.



Experience with large dogs, rescues, nervous/reactive dogs, puppies, seniors or animals requiring additional care is a strong asset.

Professional pet-care experience is welcome, but we also consider applicants with strong hands-on animal experience, good judgment, reliability and a willingness to learn.

Compensation

30-minute service: $15

45-minute service: $20

60-minute service: $25

Local travel: +$8 per completed visit

Evening/night premium after 7 PM: +$8

We use Time To Pet for schedules, care instructions, GPS tracking and client visit reports.

We’re looking for someone who would like to grow with us. As our Shelburne/Orangeville client base grows, there will be opportunities to take on additional services based on your availability.

Reliability is extremely important. Once you accept a client service, that animal and their owner are depending on us to show up.

When applying, please tell us:

Where you're located

Your experience with dogs and other animals

Your general weekday availability

Your evening/weekend availability

Whether you're available for overnight pet sitting

What sizes and types of dogs you're comfortable handling

Pay: $23.00-$33.00 per hour
