• You will be required to check in, and check out of visits using our mobile pet software smartphone app, and write clear, positive and informative visit updates with pictures to let clients know how their pets are doing.
• Pet Care Specialist team members must have a smartphone that is equipped with a high-quality camera and a strong battery life. It is also very helpful to have unlimited (or a very high) data limit. Our team uses an employee app that enables the GPS tracking of visits, provides access to pet information profiles, and allows communication with directly with clients.
• As a Pet Care Specialist team member, a typical day will mainly be filled with walking dogs, giving abundant affection and attention to animals of every size, shape, and behavior.
• We care for dogs that are as small as a few pounds, to those who exceed 100+lbs. We serve and care for all breeds of dogs and cats, as well as any caged pets in the client’s home. We also care for chickens, ducks and more. It is important that team members are comfortable and proficient in caring for pets of all kinds and sizes. 
• This job also demands consistent physical activity, between walking dogs or playing with them in the backyard, clearing up pet waste/messes, cleaning and refreshing litter boxes, picking up toys, providing food and fresh water, washing food/water bowls, administering medications and engaging with pets. We also provide home duties such as retrieving mail/packages, watering plants, setting out garbage cans, and rotating lights/blinds, there’s much to do and few moments to sit down. However the perks of being paid to care for the sweetest and cutest pets, spend time out in nature, and being able to stay active make it all worth while and then some!
• You will occasionally have to clean up something disgusting and gross. We deal with poop every single day, occasionally some vomit, and other odd major messes. Pet care and ownership is messy and we always do what needs to be done to keep pets happy and healthy while they are in our care.
