Job Title: House Manager + Canine Care Coordinator

Location: Tomball, TX 77377

Employment Type: Part-time, 20 hours per week

Compensation: $30-$35 per hour

Start Date: ASAP; with flexibility for the right candidate

Schedule: Monday through Friday, approximately 4 hours per day. Some tasks may be completed remotely.

• Maintain a smoke-free environment.
• Reliable personal transportation required; mileage reimbursement provided.
• Comfortable working with large, special needs rescue dogs (including pit bull mixes); genuine affection and patience with animals is essential.
• Must be willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to starting.
• Must be comfortable being in the home independently when the family is away.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Note that this role requires a background check.

We are a busy professional family with four very loved special needs dogs who are very much the heart of the household. Our dogs are all rescues with big personalities and significant medical needs, two of whom are currently undergoing weekly chemotherapy. The heaviest weighs about 65 pounds, two are pit bull mixes, and all have the beautiful and sometimes complex temperaments that come with rescue backgrounds.

Anyone entering our home needs to genuinely love and understand dogs like these.

Our days move fast. One of us is frequently traveling for work, and the other is often commuting to downtown Houston several days a week, which means the household often needs to run smoothly without either of us physically present. We have excellent existing support, including a household assistant, dog walker, and housekeeper, but what we are missing is a central coordinator who can bring everything together, think ahead, and keep things moving without being asked.

We moved into our home about two years ago and, while we love it, the house has not quite settled into the organized, functional space we envision. There are rooms still waiting to be sorted, systems that need to be built, and a decorator already in motion who will need someone on-site to manage the process. There is a lot of opportunity here for someone who loves to create order and take ownership.

The ideal candidate is someone who is genuinely proactive, organized, and thinks three steps ahead. You do not wait for a task list. You walk in, assess what needs attention, and handle it. You are comfortable being in the home independently, have a natural ease with dogs (especially ones with big personalities and complex needs), and you understand discretion at a high level.

Both principals work in environments where confidentiality matters deeply, so the ability to be trusted fully in this space is non-negotiable. You are collaborative by nature and will work seamlessly alongside an existing household assistant without disrupting the dynamic she has already built. You communicate proactively, stay organized across multiple moving pieces, and bring calm, competent energy to a household that has a lot going on.

If coordinating a vet appointment, a contractor arrival, a grocery run, and a housekeeper visit all on the same day while making sure the dogs are safely managed sounds like a satisfying puzzle rather than a stressful one, this role was made for you.

Because every day in a busy household looks a little different, this role requires someone who can thoughtfully prioritize, adapt, and take ownership of what needs attention. The goal is not to complete every possible household task every day, but rather to focus on the areas that create the greatest impact for the family.

The highest priorities in this role are the daily rhythms that keep the household running smoothly:

• Supporting and coordinating care for the family’s dogs, including veterinary appointments, medication-related logistics, transportation, and ensuring they are safely managed when the family is away.
• Preparing weekday meals, managing grocery shopping, and keeping the kitchen organized and functional after cooking.
• Coordinating household logistics, including vendors, service providers, deliveries, and ongoing home needs.
