Dog Walker & Pet Sitter - Des Moines

A career in caring for animals is a life well lived.

We recently went through an ownership/management change in 2025. We strive to be the most professional and knowledgeable pet care team in the PNW. That team is crafted from wonderful and dedicated people who have a passion for animals that exceeds the norm. We are deeply loving, ultra-communicative, supportive, forward-thinking, detail-oriented, open-minded, and safety driven individuals who have banded together to build a terrific team to care for clients' fur-children.

Frolic Pet Services is currently hiring Part-Time Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters in various neighborhoods from North Seattle, Downtown, West Seattle, South Seattle, Des Moines, Kent, Auburn to NE Tacoma.

Frolic Pet Services is a locally-owned professional pet care company providing various services to clients in the Puget Sound region since 2008. Our team is composed of life-long animal lovers who are deeply dedicated to the well-being of the pets entrusted to their care. Most of our staff have been working with us for 5+ years! We are seeking dedicated do-good-humans to join our team to provide high quality pet sitting and dog walking services to our long list of beloved pets.

Our company structure is different from the others - we believe in having W2 employees, not 1099 independent contractors, so that we can offer our staff support, provide expert education, and have stable schedules, among many other benefits. This allows us to focus on our core values to provide clients reliability, consistency, and a professional level of care and safety. If you have a passion for pets, a keen eye for detail, and enjoy a physically active work-life balanced with puppy bellies - Apply now!

We provide a wide variety of pet care services to clients all over the Puget Sound region, and our services are offered 365 days a year. We have a plethora of services from dog walking to kitty care, daytime drop-ins, vacation care, and even sleep - we do it all. Our Dog Walkers/Pet Sitters are provided with expert training and are supported by our small knit office team who work with you to create appointment schedules, with driving routes considered, that to your location and availability.

We're always ready to assist when questions arise while you're out spending time with pets. We handle all of the marketing,, client contact, set up and administration duties so you get to just focus on giving those high quality belly rubs, exercise, and loving care to all the pets!

Additionally, we are also looking to expand our office and management team out of Des Moines - if you have experience working in the animal industry, have an animal training background, or want to transition to a pet-centered office career - we'd love to meet with you.
