If you are an animal lover looking for a fun, permanent part-time job, making supplemental income… then this could be the job for you! Wiggles n Wags is in search of permanent, part time pet sitters. We offer our employees competitive compensation, paid holiday commissions, paid training, and several ongoing incentive programs.
The goal of our company is to provide “superior pet care and excellent customer service”, to positively enhance the busy lives of our clients. We aim to create peace of mind by ensuring that all pets are being cared for with exceptional and individualized attention that they deserve, in the comfort of their own home.
While this is a part-time position, it does require mostly open availability each day of the week, and a flexible schedule within each day. This job is perfect for those who are homemakers, freelancers, retirees, or those with plenty of flexibility in their schedule. You MUST be available to work some weekends and rotating holidays. Days off will rotate, and are determined by client-driven volume.
The schedule for this position can quickly change from day to day, so we need individuals that are flexible, can handle last minute changes, and are able to thrive in this type of environment. Same day scheduling changes can happen first thing in the morning, and in the middle of a work day, due to last minute pet visit requests from our clients.
Sitters can expect to be scheduled jobs between the hours of 7am and 8:30pm, with various visits scheduled within that timeframe. Each visit includes:
- Dog walking and clean up
- Providing food and fresh water for pets
- Scooping cat litter boxes
- Giving love, attention, and plenty of indoor/outdoor playtime for pets
- Providing safety of client’s pet(s) and home at all times
- Providing pet progress reports to clients
