This role is a great fit for someone who has consistent weekday daytime availability and is looking for a steady, active routine.
Shifts fall between 9am and 5pm, and we’re looking for someone who can regularly keep at least a 5-hour daytime window open. Our greatest need right now is 10am-3pm, even if the exact number of visits varies day to day. This role can work well alongside other commitments, as long as you’re able to consistently keep that weekday daytime availability open for Dog Jogs.
You’ll also need to be available for one weekend day per month.
A reliable vehicle is required, as you’ll be driving between multiple client homes throughout your shift, often in different areas.
You’re the kind of person who shows up.
You like being active, being outdoors in all weather, and spending time with animals. You enjoy working independently but also like knowing there’s a team behind you if you need support.
At Dog Jogs, we turn that into a role where you spend your days travelling between client homes, providing private dog walks, dog jogs, cat visits, puppy potty breaks, and helping busy pet parents feel confident their animals are in good hands.
What your day could look like
You hop in your car, coffee in hand, heading to your first visit. Maybe it’s sunny, maybe there’s snow. Either way, you’re ready.
You jog and walk dogs, visit cats, and send updates that make pet parents smile. Some days you help a shy dog build confidence. Other days you hit a new personal best with one of your regular jogging partners.
You work independently most of the day, but your team is always one message away when you need backup or a second opinion.
You’ll thrive here if you
- Love being active and outdoors (rain, shine, or snow)
- Are reliable and comfortable adapting when plans change
- Enjoy working solo but value being part of a supportive team
- Are comfortable using apps that keep your day organized
- Manage your time well and solve problems on the fly
- Are interested in continuing to learn about dog behaviour and training
- Can commit for at least a year (our pets love consistency)
Our clients rely on us to show up for their pets. While routes and timing can shift slightly day to day, having consistent weekday availability and being dependable is really important in this role.
