Job description

Love Dogs? Get Paid to Walk Them — Every Week.

Dog walking with Go Dog Go is a steady, active job with regular routes, a different mix of dogs every day, and a paycheck every Friday. Get outside, keep moving, and become the best part of a lot of dogs’ days.

A quick, no-pressure 15-minute call. Pick a time that works for you.

What a Dog Walking Job Looks Like

As a Go Dog Go walker, you work a regular shift and visit a route of client homes. You’ll walk a variety of dogs, big and small, young and old, and plenty of them will learn to love the sound of your car pulling up.

Visits are 15 to 60 minutes, and most are dog walks. You’ll also drop in on cats, and now and then rabbits, chickens, bearded dragons, geckos, or whoever else calls the house home. At each visit, you’ll walk or care for the pets, freshen their water, follow any notes from the family, and send a quick photo and update through our easy-to-use app. Clients get a three-hour arrival window, so your day has some breathing room built in.

You never carry keys. Every home uses a lockbox or keypad lock. Routes are grouped by town, so most drives between visits are short.

Our Shifts

• Morning Walker — weekdays, 7:00 am to 3:00 pm
• Afternoon Walker — weekdays, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
• Evening Visits — weekdays, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
• Weekend Day — Saturday and Sunday, 7:00 am to 3:00 pm
• Weekend Evening — Saturday and Sunday, 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Don’t see an opening for the shift you want? Book a chat anyway. We keep a list of interested walkers and call them first when a spot opens.

A Day on the Job

Your day starts in our app, not an office. Your schedule is right there, with every visit, address and note from the family.

• Drive to your first visit. No keys to carry. Every home has a lockbox or keypad.
• Start the visit in the app with one tap.
• Walk the pup through the neighborhood.
• Snap a photo and fill out a quick report card. The family sees it right away.
• Head to the next home. Most visits are within 15 minutes of each other.

We usually walk one dog at a time. When a family has two, you’re paid extra.

What You Can Earn

Our walkers typically earn $18 to $24 an hour.

You’re paid for every visit you complete, and nights and weekends pay more. Walking part-time, five days a week — about 15 to 20 hours — our walkers typically earn around $400 a week.

Evening shifts are guaranteed at least $100 a week, and weekend shifts at least $50 per shift, even on a slow day.

Paid Every Friday

With a statement of your visits by Wednesday, so there are no surprises.

Keep Your Tips

Clients can tip through our app, and tips go straight into your paycheck.

Who This Is Perfect For

Dog walking is a great fit if you want steady, regular work that keeps you moving. Our walkers include:

• People who’d rather be outside than behind a desk and like staying active all day
• Anyone who wants to get fit or stay fit — dogs need their walks rain or shine, so you’ll stay active all year, and get paid for it
• Parents looking for a regular daytime schedule
• Retirees who want a routine, fresh air, and a group of four-legged friends every week
• Students and people with day jobs who can cover evening or weekend shifts
• Anyone who loves dogs and wants to be paid for spending time with them

You don’t need professional pet care experience. If you’re dependable, kind to animals, and comfortable using a smartphone app, we’ll teach you the rest.
