Are you the kind of person who can’t walk past a dog without saying hello? Do you find joy in getting outside, staying active, and making someone’s day a little brighter—especially if that someone has four legs and a wagging tail?

If you’re ready for a part-time gig that’s fulfilling, flexible, and fun—we want to meet you.
