NO STUDENTS
This role would suit an individual who has plenty of free time, enjoys the outdoors, and can be flexible with their time.
The walker would be supporting the team by helping with a selection of dogs per day (Monday-Friday), floating across our operating areas.
OUR OPERATING AREAS:
Camden, Islington, Finsbury Park, Hampstead, Notting Hill, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Regents Park, Tufnell Park, Paddington, Walthamstow.
YOUR MAIN AREA:
Chiswick, Hammersmith, Notting Hill, Paddington.
As we work to accommodate our client's schedule, our ideal dog walker would need to be available and consistent each week to work Monday-Friday (5 days a week) between 7am-4pm, and occasional weekends, evenings, and overnights - to cover pet sitting requests and ad-hoc walks.
Depending on the bookings for dog walking, you will be expected to work 1-15 hours a week across Monday-Friday.
The role involves to pick up dogs on foot, and if required, to walk multiple dogs (1-4 dogs) on each walk for a duration of 1-3 hours at a time.
It would be beneficial if you lived within the main area or owned a bike.
Being a dog walker is incredibly rewarding, a lot of fun, and certainly not your average 9-5 job. However it requires dedication, a positive and consistent attitude, alongside having excellent customer service and communication skills.
You must have dog handling experience and excellent problem-solving skills when working with animals. You would also be expected to communicate with the owners to build a professional relationship.
