Job description

Since the Smart Paws family became Smart Paws Chicago LTD (fancy, we know) we've received glowing reviews from our clients. Some might say this is because we only hire dedicated, fun loving dog walkers and require extensive background checks, but we know the people love us for our personal connections with their pets and our reliability. Oh, and our super high tech reporting system reassures clients they're getting nothing short of the highest quality service Chicago has to offer. Yeah, we keep it real here; and that's exactly why they call us "Chicago's most trusted pet service!"

Samuel Hoke, the owner and operator of Smart Paws, grew up in suburbia alongside Beaux, his fluffy and beloved Siberian Husky rescue. When Sam moved to Chicago he immediately understood that caring for a dog in the city can be challenging. Working around little to no yard space, generally smaller homes, and pretty appalling winter weather can make it difficult for pups to get out, move it move it, and shake a tailfeather. So you might be asking, who let the dogs out? That's where we come in!

Job Description

Are you an extrovert? Do you love dogs? Do you command authority when you walk into a room? Do you wake up every morning and think to yourself, "I'm a winner"? Is your attention to detail so strong you should be an Engineer for Boeing? If you answered yes to all these questions we may have the job for you!

Smart Paws Chicago is a fun, furry and professional pet sitting company servicing the Chicago-land area. We are currently looking for a Dog Walker to join our team on a part/full time basis. If you're an animal lover and looking for a rewarding way to work directly with pets, we'd love to hear from you! This is not a seasonal job, we're looking for individuals who can stay with us for an extended period of time.

The right individual must:

• Have a positive attitude
• Be trustworthy
• Enjoy being outdoors in all weather conditions
• Love pets of all shapes, sizes and dispositions
• Have a charming personality

Being a Pet Sitter for Smart Paws Chicago also requires:

• An iPhone or an Android phone with data plan
• Solid work history, references and ability to pass a background check
• Kind heart, sense of humor, communication (verbal and written) skills, time management skills
• The flexibility to adapt to an ever changing schedule & route size
• Live in Chicago

We need someone who can commit to this position for at least 6 months. You must have a car or a bicycle. You must have experience driving or biking around the city. We're looking to fill positions ASAP for all shifts- day and night shifts are available! Smart Paws sitters average $10.00-$15/hour + tips.

PLEASE do NOT call about job openings.

Great communication is a must. We're all about great personalities so show us yours!
