Independent Sales Representative — Pet Industry

Company: Paw Privileges / Paw Rewards
Location: Remote — Canada
Job Type: Independent Contractor / Commission Only
Schedule: Adaptable

About Paw Rewards

Paw Privileges and Paw Rewards are building a Canadian ecosystem designed to support responsible breeders, dog owners and the businesses that serve them.

The Paw Rewards app helps dog owners walk, train, explore dog-friendly places, participate in Paw Quests, earn Treats and redeem rewards while connecting with businesses and brands that support life with their dogs.

Our current partners include Big Country Raw, Petsecure, The Crumps Group and Tilted Barn.

We are looking for an independent sales representative with strong business-development skills and, ideally, existing relationships within the Canadian pet industry.

The Opportunity

This role centers on growing our Business Advantage program, while creating additional earning opportunities for an exceptional representative who has established relationships with pet brands, retailers, distributors or industry decision-makers.

The ideal candidate is not simply looking for leads to call.

We are particularly interested in someone who already knows the Canadian pet industry, understands how pet businesses make partnership decisions, and can open doors through existing relationships.

This prospect may be especially well suited to:

- Independent pet-industry sales representatives
- Manufacturer representatives
- Territory representatives
- Pet-industry business-development professionals
- Advertising or partnership sales professionals
- Representatives already carrying complementary products or services
- Individuals with established relationships with pet retailers, brands, distributors or service businesses

Business Advantage

Business Advantage is our paid local-business membership designed to connect businesses directly with engaged Canadian dog owners.

The standard membership is $299 CAD for the first location, with additional locations available for $49 CAD each.

Participating businesses receive:

- A branded business profile within the Paw Rewards ecosystem
- Business photos, services and website links
- One exclusive app offer that can be refreshed monthly
- Access to a business dashboard
- Placement of a business-supplied coupon through our Memory Box program
- Visibility within a Canadian dog-owner community focused on walking, training, travel, shopping and everyday life with their dogs

Our current introductory offer includes the remainder of 2026 plus the full 2027 calendar year in one payment, with no automatic renewal.





Business Advantage Commission

This is a commission-only independent contractor opportunity with no base salary or guaranteed income.

For Business Advantage sales:

- 35% commission on new membership fees collected
- $104.65 commission on each standard $299 membership
- 35% commission on additional-location fees
- 10% commission on future renewals actively secured by the representative

Commission is calculated on membership fees actually collected, excluding applicable sales tax and reflecting any approved discount.

There is no cap on commissions.

Additional Sponsorship Opportunity

For an exceptional representative with strong pet-industry relationships, this role may also include the opportunity to introduce and secure qualified sponsorship partners.

Paw Rewards offers several sponsorship levels, including Community, National and Exclusive sponsorship opportunities.

Approved sponsorship sales are compensated separately at:

10%–15% of the contracted sponsorship value, depending on the opportunity, scope and level of representative involvement.

This can create significantly larger individual commissions for a representative capable of developing relationships with established Canadian pet brands and securing meaningful partnerships.

For example, commission on a sponsorship is based on the actual contracted value and is paid separately from Business Advantage commissions.

Sponsorship opportunities are subject to Paw Rewards approval and existing category exclusivity.

What You’ll Do

- Identify and approach suitable businesses for Business Advantage
- Develop relationships with owners and decision-makers
- Introduce Paw Rewards and explain the value of participation
- Manage prospecting, follow-up and the sales process through paid registration
- Maintain clear and accurate prospect and sales records
- Coordinate a smooth handoff when a business joins
- Develop your territory and build long-term industry relationships
- Where appropriate, identify potential sponsorship partners
- Make qualified introductions to brands, retailers or other industry organizations
- Participate in sponsorship discussions where your relationships and experience add value
- Where agreed,



reconnect with participating businesses for future renewals

You will work directly with the founder.

Who We’re Looking For

We are especially interested in applicants who already have relationships within the Canadian pet industry.

A strong candidate may have experience working with:

- Pet retailers
- Pet food and treat brands
- Grooming or wellness brands
- Pet distributors
- Trainers, groomers and boarding businesses
- Regional or national pet chains
- Independent pet stores
- Pet-industry events and trade organizations

Experience in pet-industry sales, territory management, sponsorship sales, advertising, partnerships or business development is highly relevant.

An established network is a significant advantage.

We are looking for someone who is:

- Comfortable working independently
- Confident speaking with business owners and senior decision-makers
- Strong at building and maintaining relationships
- Organized with prospecting and follow-up
- Professional in how they represent the Paw Rewards brand
- Motivated by performance-based compensation
- Interested in supporting responsible pet ownership and independent Canadian businesses

Why This Opportunity Has Growth Potential

The core opportunity is Business Advantage, giving the representative a repeatable local and regional sales product.

However, the right person may also develop higher-value opportunities through their industry relationships.

A representative who can introduce qualified sponsorship prospects and help move those relationships through to signed agreements can earn 10%–15% of the contracted sponsorship value, creating a substantially larger earning opportunity than Business Advantage sales alone.

We are therefore especially interested in someone who already has a genuine network within the pet industry and understands relationship-based selling.
