Dog Walker - Old Lyme Area

About the role

Neighborhood walks, wagging dogs, and a paycheck that lands before school pickup. Every weekday! This is you if you would rather be outside than at a desk; a dog losing his mind with joy when you walk in is your idea of a good morning; you want steady hours during school hours, not nights and not guesswork.

• Cover let-outs, potty breaks, and vacation drop-ins
• Care for cats at home, including feeding, litter, play, and medications
• Send photo updates and visit reports that make clients' whole day
• Drive between visits across the service area
• Keep learning: we pay for your continuing education in dog behavior

Requirements

• 18+ years of age
• Genuine love for animals
• Patient and respectful
• Reliable, communicative, detail‑oriented
• Calm and confident with fearful, reactive, or excitable dogs
• Happy outdoors
