Job description

A Real Job. Outside. With Dogs
Not everyone wants to spend their day behind a desk.
If you enjoy being active, working independently, and having a job where every day looks a little different, The Monster Minders may be a good fit. (Loving dogs goes without saying.) We're looking for a Dog Walker to join our crew in Society Hill and Old City.
This is a weekday position, Monday through Friday, typically between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Most days include 8 to 12 walks with established clients who rely on us to provide safe, dependable care for their dogs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, staying active, and building long-term relationships with both dogs and their people.What You'll Do
  • Complete dog walks Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM
  • Safely handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities
  • Travel between clients' homes throughout the workday
  • Write thoughtful visit updates and communicate professionally with clients
  • Work comfortably in all types of Philadelphia weather, including heat, rain, and snow
  • Participate in paid training and occasional paid staff meetings
What We're Looking For
  • Strong written communication skills
  • Reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail
  • The ability to work independently and manage a field-based schedule
  • The ability to comfortably walk 5 to 6 hours per day
  • Access to reliable transportation (bike, scooter, motorcycle, or car)
  • A commitment to staying in the position for at least one year
  • Comfort working outdoors year-round in a variety of weather conditions
  • Confidence handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels

Bonus Points If You Have
  • Experience caring for dogs, either personally or professionally
  • Experience working independently
  • Experience in customer-facing roles
Pay & Benefits
  • Employee position (W-2), not independent contractor work
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) for all employees
  • Competitive pay plus tips
  • Direct deposit
  • Workers' compensation coverage
  • Consistent weekday schedule with established clients
  • Paid training and ongoing support
  • Optional social events including happy hours, book club gatherings, bonfires, and pizza nights
Why People Stay
Our employees know what their schedules look like. There is no fighting for gigs, scrambling for last-minute work, or wondering whether your income will disappear because an app changed its algorithm.
Most of our employees stay for years, not months. That's good for our clients, good for our dogs, and good for the people who work here. Just great dogs, great clients, and meaningful work. There is a better way to walk dogs.About The Monster Minders
The Monster Minders has been walking dogs in Philadelphia since 2005. Over the last 20 years, we've completed nearly one million walks and built a reputation for exceptional care, reliability, and communication.
We're a family-owned business that believes dog walking is a real profession. Our employees are valued team members, not gig workers bouncing between app-based jobs.
