Love pets? Enjoy being active outdoors? Live in Annapolis (21401 or 21403)? This opportunity is for you!
Woofie’s of Annapolis is contracting with experienced, qualified independent pet care providers for dog walking and pet sitting services in the Annapolis area. This is an independent contractor engagement (rather than an employment position) and is a flexible, rewarding way to earn income while spending time with animals.

This opportunity is often a good fit for college students, stay-at-home parents, freelancers, active retirees, or anyone who already has experience caring for pets and has availability to provide pet sitting and dog walking services to new clients.

Important: Applicants must reside in Annapolis (21401 or 21403 zip codes) to be considered. Please note that detailed journal writing is a required part of every pet visit . keep this in mind when completing the evaluation questions for your application, as all responses are carefully reviewed by the owner and General Manager.

Why Providers Choose to Contract with Woofie’s:

• Per-Visit fees paid on a set fee schedule – visit fees are the equivalent of $16–$24 per hour
• You select the visits you accept — mornings, mid-day, evenings, weekends, or overnight stays
• Care for dogs, cats, and other small pets
• Contract with a trusted, locally owned pet care company while remaining free to work with other companies

Services Provided:

• Walking and exercising dogs
• Caring for pets with reliability and attentiveness
• Feeding, fresh water, and administering medications when the client requests it
• Sharing written journal updates and photos with clients through a smartphone application

Please note: All instructions pertaining to care, supplies, feeding, and medical needs come directly from the client, not from Woofie’s of Annapolis.

What We’re Looking For:

• Must live in Annapolis or the immediate surrounding area
• Must be experienced and qualified in caring for dogs, cats and small pets
• Availability that includes early morning (8 am to 10 am), mid-day (12 noon to 2 pm) and/or afternoon (4 pm to 6 pm) visit windows – we’ll discuss which visits fit your availability during the interview
• Able to walk pets for up to one-hour per visit
• 18 with valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and smartphone
• Responsible, reliable, and friendly
• Independent contractors are responsible for their own professional development and any certifications they choose to maintain, including CPR/First Aid
• A background check is completed as part of our client safety standards; we’ll go over the details during the interview

Independent contractors provide services under their own name or business, set their own availability, are responsible for their own taxes, and are not employees of Woofie’s of Annapolis.
Compensation: $16.00 – $24.00 per hour
