What else do I need to know about joining the 4-Legged Kids Team?

We are looking for pet lovers who understand and accept the responsibilities we will place on them- our clients depend on us! We do not just play with cute kitties and puppies. We walk dogs when it's 90 degrees or below freezing out. You may have to carry a dog up and down stairs, lift food bags or search under every couch and bed for a cat. We clean up after them, feed them, administer medication, and go above and beyond for our clients.

This business is variable and schedules will vary from day to day. We realize working under these flexible and changing conditions can be difficult for some people. This is the nature of our industry and your dependability in this area is crucial. If you enjoy change and variety in the workplace then this will be perfect for you!

I can handle that! What else do I need to know?

You will receive ongoing education and training on various aspects of pet care and behavior.. You will be trained to handle unexpected situations in pet care and admin support is a phone call away.

We are looking for mature, responsible people who are reliable, patient, and capable of independent action. We invest time and money into training our employees and require a minimum 6-month commitment… we would rather have you for years! We are #1 in the St. Louis area and look forward to finding out more about you!
