Job Description

Canine Care is a well-loved dog-walking company that has been providing services since 1992. We have an established customer base and a trained team of employees who are passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. Our employees and philosophies around dogs’ social, emotional, and physical well-being set us apart and make us a great workplace. Canine Care strives to take care of you so you can take great care of dogs.  

Position:
  • Professional backup dog walker with the ability to walk up to three dogs at one time, transport up to three dogs, and manage up to five dogs off-leash in a private fenced area.
  • We work with many extra-large breeds like Great Danes. Staff must be prepared to work independently, outdoors, with larger dogs in small groups. 
  • This position is intended to provide supplemental income, not a full-time income.
  • Our hours of operation are 8 am -6 pm, Monday through Sunday, except for some major holidays. We're looking for candidates available for 20 to 30 hours per week. 
  • Some weeks, there might not be any work available. 
  • We service the communities of Deerfield, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Northbrook, Wilmette, and Winnetka.
  • Holidays off.
  • All staff members are W2 employees.
Compensation:

$20 / hour
$0 - $2600 / month
  • Incremental increase in pay based on ability and longevity. Staff working with Canine Care for multiple years earn up to $30 / hour.
  • Work assigned will be based on staffing levels, performance, and client demand. 
Reimbursements/Time Off:
  • 67 cents/mile driven for work
  • All materials provided (leashes, dog waste bags, supplies to convert a car for the transport of dogs)
  • Paid Time Off (sick leave and/or scheduled)
Responsibilities:
  • Provide safe and engaging dog walking services from client residences, performing group walks, of up to three dogs for durations of 30/45/60 minutes.
  • We drive dogs to walk with other dogs and in set locations. Driving is a critical task for this position. In some cases, you may drive alone; in others, you may transport up to three dogs. 
  • All staff must be vigilant and aware when walking our clients' dogs, including extra-large dogs like Great Danes.  
  • Provide feedings, medications, and fresh water as requested.
  • Health and safety checks for the dogs and their homes.
  • Clean up dog waste as needed (on walks or in client homes).
  • Use our industry software to manage your schedule and provide clients with excellent customer service.
Ideal Candidate:
  • The backup dog walker is a team player, ideally able to help out on short notice. 
  • Because our next staff member will work as a backup dog walker, we appreciate candidates who are flexible with their professional schedules. 
  • An honest, patient, and enthusiastic candidate who understands the importance of canine enrichment and proper socialization.
  • The candidate should have a strong understanding of safety and time management.
  • Previous professional or volunteer experience with animals is preferred, but a positive attitude and a desire to learn are just as important. We have a fantastic paid training program.
  • This is an excellent opportunity for people looking to start a career or grow their professional experience with dogs. Many of our staff were previously dog walkers with on-demand services, doggy daycare staff, dog groomers, or volunteers at a local shelter.
