What do we do?

We are in the peace of mind business. We provide peace of mind to pet parents who are busy working or traveling.

We visit client’s homes and care for their pets and homes. This could include taking dogs for walks, letting dogs out in a yard to play fetch, cleaning up after pets, feeding and supplying fresh water, scooping litter boxes, administering medications if needed, and of course loving them and providing lots of TLC and belly rubs! For traveling clients, watering plants and collecting mail may be necessary.

We ask you that you drive to these appointments, check in and check out of appointments using our mobile app, and write nice informative updates with pictures to let clients know how their pets are doing.

Job Requirements:

• Must live in our service area
• Have your own dependable registered & insured vehicle and a valid driver's license
  -- you will need to travel to/from clients’ homes.

• Must ADORE animals…and realize that working with them isn’t glamorous (aka we clean up pet messes!)
• Be able to pass a background check - Employment Offers are contingent on successful completion of a background check.
