• Consistently completing scheduled visits accurately and on time.
• Building trust with clients through dependable communication and quality pet care.
• Managing an efficient route across the Southeast Territory.
• Following care instructions carefully, including medication and special needs.
• Becoming a reliable member of a team that clients can confidently count on.

• Reliable availability Monday-Friday, generally from 2:00 PM-10:00 PM.
• Personal transportation and a reasonable commute to the Southeast Territory.
• Dependability, strong communication, and attention to detail.
• Comfort working independently between client homes in varying weather conditions.
• Ability to commit to the role for at least 6-12 months.
• Willingness to work major holidays when scheduled, as pet care continues year‑round.
• Willingness to complete reference checks, a background check, and drug screening.
