Professional Pet Sitter - Seymour/Oxford Area

RCO Pet Care is growing (again!), and we are looking for a very particular type of human to join our team of dog walkers and pet sitters.

Our RCO family keeps expanding, and over the years some of our sitters have had the absolute audacity to be so good at their jobs that they’ve moved into leadership positions - which, of course, means we get to welcome someone new to the team.

Here’s the vibe:

• I’m looking for someone so reliable their Google Calendar trusts them.
• Someone who genuinely loves animals and appreciates that professional pet care is a real job with real responsibility.
• Someone who can follow detailed instructions, send the world’s cutest pet photo updates, and doesn’t flinch when a client’s chihuahua wakes up and chooses chaos.

RCO is special. Our clients trust us with their furry family members, and our team takes that seriously while still having a blast together.

This isn’t a job for just anyone — but for the right person, it’s one of those “I can’t believe this is my job” roles.

The criteria (non-negotiable):

• MUST have reliable transportation and be able to consistently service clients in Oxford, Seymour and nearby towns
  (This role requires frequent travel between client homes during daytime hours.)
• MUST have regular weekday daytime availability
  Midday (10am–3pm) is our busiest time.
• MUST be available one weeknight AND Saturday or Sunday
• MUST be trustworthy, communicative, and detail-oriented
  Our clients depend on accurate updates and consistent routines.
• MUST be comfortable working independently while also being part of a supportive, drama-free team

Bonus points if you:

• Love sending photo updates as much as clients love receiving them
• Can handle both a 95-lb loveable goofball and a 6-lb chaos gremlin
• Are the type of person who triple-checks they locked the door (we see you and we appreciate you)

The details:

• Part-time, typically 10–20 hrs/week
• Weekday midday availability required; weekends/holidays optional but a huge plus
• W2 employee (not contractor)
• Paid training, mileage reimbursement, and ongoing support
• Spend your workday exploring with pets, brightening people’s days, and becoming someone’s next favorite human

We hope you're excited! Due to high volumes of phone calls, we ask that applicants do not call us asking about applying for the position. If it is posted here, we are accepting applications. We cannot process anything via phone call - it must be done through our listing.
