Happy Hour for Team Minder
Do you stop people on the street to say hello to their dogs?
Are your social feeds full of dog reels and videos?
Are you a little gritty with a big heart?
​
Great. You might be an excellent Monster Minder.
​
What You’ll Do:
As a Monster Minder, you’ll spend your weekdays walking and caring for amazing dogs across Philadelphia. Our clients trust us with their best friends, so the job is about much more than just walking dogs.
You’ll:
• walk dogs in their neighborhoods during the weekday workday
• visit multiple homes and follow each dog’s routine
• build relationships with pups of all shapes and sizes
• send updates about how each walk went
Expect to work outdoors in all kinds of weather, because dogs need their walks rain or shine.​​
​
This role is perfect for someone who’s dependable, upbeat, and truly loves dogs. To apply, you must:
-
Be available Monday through Friday between the hours of 10AM and 4:30PM.*
-
Be 21+ with a clean background check.
-
Be comfortable walking for several hours a day.
-
Have reliable transportation (bike, car, or scooter).
-
Communicate well with clients, managers and other Minders.
-
Have great writing skills and be able to follow detailed household routines.
-
Bring positive energy. Dogs respond to it! So do we!
​
*We also have a shorter window available, 11AM-3PM, however Monday through Friday availability is crucial for every applicant. (We cannot work around other jobs/classes during the Monday-Friday window.)​​
What We’re Looking For:
Safety Comes First​​
At The Monster Minders, safety is at the center of everything we do, and that includes protecting our team.
While we proudly mind “monsters,” the dogs in our care are carefully vetted for safety and a good fit with our walkers. Our clients trust us with their best friends, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our walkers are never expected to handle situations that feel unsafe. We provide clear protocols, supportive management that is a phone call away during service hours, and a team that has your back when questions come up in the field. Dog walking is active, outdoor work, but it should also feel safe, supported, and professional.
Why people love working at The Monster Minders
​
At The Monster Minders, you’re not a gig worker. You’re part of the team. That means consistent paychecks, a predictable weekday schedule, and Paid Time Off from day one.
​
You’ll spend your days outside, stay active, and build real relationships with neighborhood dogs and the people who love them. Our walkers support each other, management has your back, and the dogs make every day a little better.
And yes, we like to have fun together outside of walks too. Think happy hours, coffee meetups, and plenty of dog stories.
​
This job is a great fit for people who:
• love dogs and enjoy working with animals every day
• like being outdoors and active throughout the workday
• are reliable and comfortable working independently
• enjoy getting to know neighborhood dogs and their routines
​
This Job May Not Be the Right Fit If
• you prefer working indoors
• you are uncomfortable walking dogs in rain, heat, or cold
• you need a highly flexible schedule during weekday daytime hours
• you are not comfortable entering clients’ homes and following detailed instructions
Is This Job a Good Fit for You?
