Join our Award-Winning Crew
We are looking for energetic and trustworthy dog lovers to join our team. We're an award winning team, so we only ask the best of the best to join us. Many of the walkers in Philly are hired as “independent contractors” by national technology corporations trying to cash in on the "gig economy." When joining our crew you become a valued employee (with consistent weekday scheduling, job security, Paid Time Off, workers comp coverage, etc) for a family owned business, based in South Philly.
We're looking for folks who want to enter (or continue on in) the professional pet care field. Looking for stability while doing something you love? You're in the right place. We have both full and part time weekday positions available.

Hours and Scheduling:​
-
Full Time employees must be able to work Monday-Friday 10AM – 4:30PM. Most full time employees complete 9-11 visits per weekday.
-
Part Time employees must be able to work Monday-Friday 11AM - 3PM. Most part time employees complete 5-7 visits per weekday.
All Employees Must:
-
Be absolute dog fanatics. Like you must be the kind of person that stops folks on the street to meet their monsters.
-
Be able to handle the active nature of dog walking. This includes hours of active walking and getting to and from various client's homes. (Your feet will be tired at the end of each workday.)
-
Be able to handle dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments.
-
Be 21 years or older & willing to undergo a criminal background check.
-
Have exceptional written and verbal skills for interactions with our human clients.
-
Be willing to work in the not-so-awesome weather days that include snow, heat waves, and 40 degree rain. Everyday can’t be 70 degrees and sunny.
-
Access to reliable transportation. (Bike, motorcycle, scooter or car.) We have a tight service area, but Minders can expect a 2-5 minute commute between each home/walk.
-
Willingness to participate in ongoing paid training and paid staff meetings.
The Perks: ​
-
Great pay! Make a living doing something that you enjoy.
-
Paid Time Off for all employees from Day 1. Go on a paid vacation or staycation!
-
Job security and as a valued employee, not a gig worker or independent contractor for a faceless tech corporation.
-
Consistent scheduling. Tired of an irregular schedule? Minders can expect regular, recurring weekday walks. App-based dog walking isn't where it's at. There is a better way to be a dog walker!
-
Fresh air, a ton of exercise, and DOGS ALL DAY!
-
Optional Happy Hours & Book Club for Minders that want to get social. (Our crew is a genuinely nice bunch of dog lovers.)
