Midday Dog Walker & Pet Sitter

School-Hour Friendly | Monday–Friday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Required
Charleston, SC

Charleston Dog Walker is hiring a reliable, thoughtful Midday Dog Walker & Pet Sitter to support our busiest time of day—while still leaving your afternoons free for family, school pick-up, and life.

This role is designed for someone who wants purposeful, independent work during school hours, enjoys caring for animals, and appreciates clear expectations, consistency, and structure.

This is not a hustle role, an on-call role, or a job that follows you home.

🕚 Schedule (This Really Matters)

• Consistent availability Monday–Friday between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. is required

• This role fits neatly between school drop-off and pick-up

• Additional hours are available before or after this window if you want them

• Your midday availability must be steady and dependable each week

We respect your time and your family commitments—and we ask the same in return.

🐾 What You’ll Be Doing

• Visiting client homes to walk dogs or provide in-home pet care

• Feeding pets, refreshing water, and administering medications when needed

• Following each pet’s routine and care instructions carefully

• Writing thoughtful visit journals and uploading photos after each visit

• Driving between client homes during your scheduled window

• Communicating proactively with our management team if anything is unclear

You’ll work independently and be trusted to manage your time responsibly—while knowing support is always available if you need it.

📍 Service Area (Important)

Visits take place within our service area:
Downtown Charleston, James Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach, and Avondale (West Ashley).

You should be comfortable driving locally between these areas during your midday schedule.

💛 This Role Is a Great Fit If You:

• Want school-hour work that doesn’t spill into evenings

• Enjoy being active and outdoors during the day

• Are calm, dependable, and detail-oriented

• Feel comfortable working independently without constant supervision

• Take pride in doing things correctly and consistently

• Love animals and understand this is a professional responsibility
   

💰 Pay & Earnings (Clear Expectations)

• Average ~$11 per 30-minute visit, plus tips

• Mileage reimbursement between visits

• Holiday bonuses for qualifying visits

Typical earnings:

• ~$165/week working Monday–Friday with ~3 visits per day

This role is intended as supplemental, school-hour income, not full-time employment.

🚩 This Role Is Not a Good Fit If You:

• Feel stressed by firm start and end times

• Dislike driving between locations

• Are uncomfortable using mobile apps or documenting your work

• Are looking for full-time income or benefits

📋 Requirements

• Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license

• Smartphone with data plan and comfort using apps

• Ability to walk dogs outdoors in Charleston weather

• Comfort entering client homes independently

• Strong communication and time-management skills

🌼 What We Offer

• Predictable, school-hour scheduling

• Competitive per-visit pay, plus tips

• Mileage reimbursement

• Supportive management with clear expectations

• Meaningful work caring for pets who are truly loved
