Job Title: Professional Pet Sitter & Adventure Specialist (Flexible/Part-Time)
Location: Salina, KS & Surrounding Area
Schedule: Variety of shifts available (6 AM - 11 PM window); heavy focus on Evenings, Weekends, and Holidays.
Are you an "Animal Polyglot"?
At Adventures in Pet Sitting, we don’t just "watch dogs." We are professional caretakers for a diverse family of species, including dogs, cats, aquatics, birds, exotics, and farm animals. We are looking for people who are as comfortable checking the PH balance in a reef tank as they are walking a 90lb Golden Retriever or feeding a flock of chickens.
The "Molded" Personality We Seek:
We are looking for a specific blend of two traits:
The Passionate Caretaker: You aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. You love the "grit" of animal care and treat every pet like your own.
The Disciplined Professional: You follow instructions to the letter. You check the Pet Sitter Plus notes before you ask questions. You are proactive, time-sensitive, and detail-oriented.
What the Job Actually Looks Like:
Technical Care: Providing species-specific care (cleaning enclosures, monitoring heat lamps, preparing specialized diets for birds/reptiles).
The "Adventure" Walk: Leading safe, engaging walks in all Kansas weather conditions (heat, rain, or snow).
Home Security: Managing client lockboxes, securing entryways, and maintaining property integrity.
Professional Reporting: Using our mobile app to log GPS data, photos, and detailed wellness reports for owners.
Requirements (The Non-Negotiables):
Reliable Transportation: You must have a dependable vehicle that can handle city and rural routes in all weather.
The "Resourceful" Mindset: You use the tools provided (apps, manuals, notes) to solve problems independently.
Communication: High-level communication is our baseline. You must be comfortable with video check-ins and frequent app updates.
Availability: We are a 365-day operation. We have a high need for Evening (3 PM - 11 PM), Weekend, and Holiday availability.
The "Instruction" Test (Do not skip!):
We value people who pay attention to the details. To be considered for this role, you must include the name of your favorite exotic animal or bird species in the very first line of your application/cover letter.
