Who This Role is For:

• You pay close attention to how dogs are feeling, so you can recognize when one is uneasy before things escalate.

• You teach with treats, praise, and clear cues, and you’re happy to change your route if it helps a dog avoid a known trigger.

• You’re comfortable working on your own, making sound decisions in the field, and knowing when it’s time to bring in management.

• You check the details and plan ahead, which allows you to step in before a small issue becomes a bigger problem.

• You’re courteous to everyone you meet along the way, from clients to doormen and neighbors, and you leave each home the way you found it.

This Role Might Not Be Right for You If…

• You need full-time hours or benefits right now, as this is a part-time role and hours will build as our business grows.

• You need a predictable schedule, since much of our work happens during the weekday daytime and we expect some weekend and holiday demand.

• You’d rather not work in bad weather, because our services run rain or shine unless management cancels for unsafe conditions.

• You rely on corrections to manage behavior, as we don’t allow physical punishment, yelling, leash yanks, or pushing a dog into position.

• You dislike using your phone or may be uncomfortable navigating an app-based schedule with timers and clock-in/out tracking
