Part-Time Handler for Afternoons/Evenings and Weekends

We are currently looking to fill 1 position for a Part-Time Handler for the Syracuse/Camillus area. This schedule varies and will include afternoons and evenings including bedtime pet sitting visits as late as 10pm some nights (not every night), as well as weekend work particularly Saturday evenings, and Sundays.  

This role is much more involved than a standard dog walking job. We are a training based-company, and Handlers ​w​ill learn high levels of dog behavior/ training. Handlers learn leash skills, how to read dog's body language, how to follow specific rules and interact with dogs in a certain way, how to maintain the dog's good behavior and skills, ​and very specific procedures for completing visits.

We are seeking someone who is interested in and prepared to learn t​he professional side of animal care and dog walking. While a deep affection for animals is a wonderful starting point, it needs to be stressed that this job is more than that and requires successfully building a comprehensive skill set ​i​n professional pet care and dog behavior. ALL TRAINING IS PROVIDED.

​Role pays $16.75/hour plus $0.70/mile. This averages to $21++. Employment status is independent contractor.  

​****We are also currently looking for another overnight sitter to join our team for ocassaional overnight work during the winter and spring season, and more frequent sitting during summers and holidays.
