Dog Walker & Daycare Attendant

🚨 Before You Apply: This isn’t a gig job like Rover or Wag—it’s a real career with real responsibilities. Loving dogs isn’t enough—you need to truly understand them. Dogs are living, breathing creatures with real needs. They can’t “wait until tomorrow” to be let out, and they don’t care if it’s raining, cold, or if you’re tired.

🐾 Our schedule is based on the DOGS' needs—not personal preference. If you're looking for a job where you can set your own hours or make last-minute schedule changes, this isn't it. Our pups need routine, structure, and consistency—so your shifts will be set (Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 6 PM).

📢 Most importantly: These dogs will bond with you. If you leave after a short time, they won’t just be disappointed—they may become confused, anxious, or even depressed. We’re looking for someone who will be a stable, comforting presence in their lives for the long haul.

Rain, Snow, or Blazing Heat—Dogs Still Need Their Walks!

We are like the postal service of pet care—we work in ALL weather conditions because dogs rely on us Monday-Friday.

• Snow on the ground? Bundle up—it’s walking time!
• Blistering hot sun? Hydrate, find shade, and keep moving!
• Pouring rain & wind? Grab your rain gear—dogs still have to go outside!

If you love the outdoors in every season, this is the job for you. If you prefer climate-controlled offices, this isn't.

Why This Job is Different from Gig Work:

• Consistent Schedule – Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 6 PM (no random gigs or last-minute requests!)
• Stable Income – $18-$20 per hour (DOE), not dependent on how many clients book you.
• Career Growth – We invest in training & long-term development.
• A Team That Has Your Back – You’re part of a real business, not just an app.

A Day in the Life of a Tail-Wagging Hero:

• Form Furry Friendships – Work with delightful dogs (up to 100 lbs)!
• Walk & Wag – Enjoy outdoor walks year-round, rain or shine (yes, even in the PNW rain and wind!)
• Drive Like a Pro – Safely travel to clients' homes in all weather conditions—rain, ice, snow, or sun—because our clients rely on us
• Pawsome Paths – Explore charming local trails with happy pups!

Daycare Role: Where Playtime Meets Responsibility!

• Lead Tail-Wagging Adventures – Organize fun group activities!
• Prioritize Pup Happiness – Monitor dogs’ health, behavior, and energy levels!
• Build Strong Bonds – Connect with dogs and their owners for a personalized experience!
• Outdoor Playtime – Yes, dogs still need potty breaks in the rain—so pack that raincoat!

Let’s Be Real: This Job Isn’t for Everyone!

If you’re easily grossed out by pee, poop, drool, or the occasional vomit surprise, this might not be your calling. But if you’re the kind of person who shrugs off a little mess and keeps moving, you’re our kind of person!

This isn’t just a job—it’s a career and a lifestyle. You’ll be on your feet all day, problem-solving, handling excited (or stubborn) pups, and working outdoors in all conditions.

📢 And remember: Dogs thrive on stability. If you can’t commit for the long term, please don’t apply. These dogs will miss you, and some may struggle emotionally if their trusted caregiver disappears.

What You Get:

• 💰 Competitive Pay: $18-$20 per hour (DOE)
• 🚗 Paid Drive Time – Because we know gas isn’t free!
• 🏥 Paid Sick Leave – Because even dog lovers need rest.
• 🐾 Pet Care Perks – Discounts on services for your own furry friends!
• 🐕 Work With Dogs – No cubicles, just canines!

Who We’re Looking For:

• Proven Job Stability – If you have a history of frequent job changes (less than 1 year in multiple positions), this isn’t the right fit. We invest in training and want team members who will stick around.
• 18+ with a Reliable Vehicle & Driver’s License – If you hate driving in rain, wind, or the occasional snowstorm, this won’t be a good fit.
• 1+ Years of Professional Experience in animal care or caregiving.
• A True Dog Enthusiast – You don’t just like dogs—you understand them!
• Reliable & Accountable – If calling out last minute is a habit, this isn’t the job for you.
• Local Knowledge – Must live within 15 minutes of McCollum Park (Everett).
• Long-Term Commitment – These dogs will bond with you. If you can’t commit for at least a year, please don’t apply.
• Physical & Mental Readiness – Walking 5+ miles, lifting 50 lbs, and making quick decisions are all part of the job. More details here: https://tpsmcwa.com/Physical-Mental-Tasks
