Privileged Paws is now hiring!

With over 600 happy clients, Privileged Paws is the premiere dog walking and pet-sitting provider for North Dallas. Since 2015, we have believed that pet care is not a hobby and more than just a job. Come join our amazing employee-based team, where we believe in ongoing learning, a supportive management team, and competitive wages.

Position:

Pet Care Specialist with a strong emphasis on dog walking.
Dog Walking Schedule: Monday through Thursday, generally from 7:30am to 3:00pm. Please note that your schedule would depend on your availability, performance, and client demand. No two weeks are ever alike in the pet care industry.
You may have dog-walking opportunities until about 5:30 p.m. We believe the next dog walker will work 15 to 20 hours per week, but this role is not designed to exceed 30 hours per week.
This next role will be in Dallas, but we also service Bluffview, Highland Park, Knox-Henderson, Melshire Estates, Midway Hollow, Northwood Hills, Oak Lawn, Park Cities, Preston Hollow, Prestonwood, Russwood Acres, University Park, and Uptown.

Compensation:

$18 - $20 / hour (the position will start from $18 per hour, plus bonuses, 100% client gratuity, and future performance reviews)

$1000 - $1500 / month (earnings will be dependent on your availability, performance, and client demand)

Mileage reimbursement (we design routes to limit driving to 10 minutes or less between clients whenever possible).
Increased pay for major holiday pet visits
Candidate and client referral bonuses.
Paid training, including Pet CPR and First Aid Certifications
Overnight care is performed from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and is compensated at the rate of $88 per night.

The responsibilities:

Create a safe and positive walking environment for our clients' dogs.
Follow the client-provided care instructions, including training preferences.
Provide detailed and attentive care for our client's cats.
Give our clients first-class customer service with a personal touch.
Communicate with clients via phone/app and photographs.
Contribute to the team effort by working as a team player.
Practice time management to ensure on-time arrivals for all assigned visits.

The ideal candidate:

Former Wag and Rover walkers will appreciate the support Privileged Paws provides.
An honest, patient, and enthusiastic candidate who can provide our client's dogs and cats with the highest quality visits possible.
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 with a desire to learn is just as important.
The candidate should enjoy an active work environment, walking independently and working outdoors regardless of weather conditions.
Candidates with evening, weekend, and holiday availability are given special consideration.
This is an excellent opportunity for people looking to start a career or grow their current professional experience with dogs.
Many members of our staff were previously dog walkers with on-demand services, doggy daycare staff, dog groomers, or volunteers at a local shelter.
The candidate should have an innate desire to care for animals while ensuring their safety.

We are a diverse team, and we welcome all individuals with a love of animals to apply!
