Full-Time Dog Walker MondayFriday 9AM6PM

Let’s talk about cake for a moment.

Working with dogs is the frosting—the part everyone gets excited about, but it's only a small part of the job.

The cake is the core of the job: structure, reliability, and physical work that keep everything running. It’s a more substantial kind of sweetness—different from the frosting, but deeply rewarding.

The cake looks like this:

• Starting your route on time every day — dogs can’t reschedule their walks
• Driving between client homes — your car is your office
• Walking 10–15 miles a day — in all weather conditions
• Showing up consistently — even when the weather is miserable
• Working independently — no one is looking over your shoulder during the day
• Being accountable to human clients first — their homes, schedules, and expectations come first

That’s the cake—about 95% of the job: walking in the rain, picking up poop, getting splashed while drying off, driving on snowy roads. The frosting is cuddling the dog after everything else is done—about 5%.
