We are an established, professional pet sitting and dog walking company servicing the Bakersfield area. We are looking for pet lovers (with experience in caring for pets) to work on-call and full/part-time.

If you truly have a heartfelt love for animals, and you are mature, extremely reliable, detail-oriented, self-motivated, pleasant to work with, and committed to excellent customer service, this may be the position for you.

Earning potential (while working approx 20-30 hours per week) ranges from $1500-2500 per month.

We have an extensive program to ensure that each person on our team is fully comfortable before being on their own with pets or clients. We maintain a very supportive, honest, friendly, and professional work environment.

We are hiring the following positions:

1. Dog walker: neighborhood walks are 30 minutes – 1 hour. Starting compensation is typically $14.85 per visit.

We need a walker specifically for these hours: Monday – Friday (typically) 8am – 10am and 4pm – 5pm. Also, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30am – 12pm
