Pet Sitter Application

Congratulations!

You are interested in a very rewarding and flexible career in the pet care industry.

We hire on these Core Values:
WE DO THE WORK
WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND
WE MAKE NO EXCUSES
WE KEEP OUR WORD AND HAVE FUN!

If these don't align with your values, we are not a good fit.
If so, keep reading you are our kind of person

We are looking for pet sitters inside the loop: Heights, First Ward, River Oaks, West University, Rice Village, NRG Stadium, Downtown, East Downtown, and Second Ward, Upper Kirby, Greenway Plaza, or just outside the loop in Uptown, Bellaire area.

Candidates must live in these areas to be considered.

This is a great opportunity to supplement your income with a fun part-time or full-time job. However, this is NOT a job that will pay your rent and that you can live off of. Depending on the number of jobs you have you can earn $400+ per week and definitely more than that during peak operating times. There is always room to pick up more visits, if interested.

The work is pretty easy besides some lifting and cleaning. Our clients are high caliber with great pets and expect the best! So if you love animals and are service driven, apply!

We are a great fit for active retirees, college students, homemakers, vet techs, teachers, personal trainers, work-from-home employees with flexibility, etc.
