In terms of basics, here are a few must-haves:

- Your own car – because even dog walkers need wheels. And yup, you're going to be navigating through good ol' Houston traffic. Think of it as an adventure, with a fur-friend waiting at the end!
- Physical fitness – because this job involves more walking than a charity walkathon.
- Excellent communication skills – to ensure our clients stay informed and you stay part of our pack!
- A big heart for pets. We're talking unadulterated, wagging-tail, slobbery-kiss kind of love.
- Monday to Sunday, from the chirping birds at 6 am to the night owls at 9 pm.
- Busiest times are from 6 am to 2 pm, Monday to Friday, with a sprinkle of evening and weekend visits.
- Holidays tend to see a surge in demand for evening and weekend visits. Extra holiday cookies, anyone?

Apply. Right. Now. Simply send us your resume and a brief note about why you're the pawfect fit for this role.
