Part Time Pet information

What is a part time pet sitter?

Part-time pet sitters are individuals who care for pets on a flexible or limited schedule rather than full-time. They may provide services such as feeding, walking, playing, and sometimes administering medication while the pet owner is away for work, vacation, or other reasons. Part-time pet sitters can work independently, through agencies, or on pet-sitting platforms, and often tailor their availability around their other commitments. This role is ideal for people who love animals and are looking for supplemental income or a flexible work arrangement.

What are the typical responsibilities and work schedules for a part time pet sitter?

As a part-time pet care provider, your daily responsibilities may include feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic medications, and providing companionship to pets. Work schedules are often flexible, with shifts varying based on client needs—some jobs may require early mornings, evenings, or weekends. You may work independently or as part of a team in settings such as pet sitting companies, kennels, or veterinary offices. Communication with pet owners is essential to ensure each pet’s individual needs are met. This role can be physically active and may involve caring for multiple animals at once.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time pet sitter, and why are they important?

To excel as a Part Time Pet Sitter, you typically need experience with animal care, basic pet first aid knowledge, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with pet care scheduling apps, basic grooming tools, and communication platforms is beneficial. Reliability, patience, and strong interpersonal skills help build trust with both pets and their owners. These skills are crucial to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of animals while maintaining positive client relationships.

Life is too short to not spend as much time as you can with dogs and cats!  If you agree with this statement, we might be the right fit for you.  

Pup Culture is hiring dog walkers/pet sitters in our service area. We’re looking for reliable and responsible animal-lovers to join our team. If you enjoy being outside, getting exercise, and spending time with animals, this job is for you! This is a part time position. The dog walker would begin with a couple walks per day with room to grow based on performance and experience. This would be a perfect position for a freelancer, entrepreneur, artist, retiree, stay-at-home-parent, someone who is looking for a career working with animals, or anyone else who has availability during the weekdays. Pay begins at $16 per hour.

Why work for us?

  • All the slobbery dog kisses and kitty head butts that you can handle
  • Win every step challenge you enter
  • Experience the MN seasons with a dog by your side
  • Opportunities to advance in our company
  • $16+ per hour +tips
  • $.25 mileage reimbursement
  • Health Insurance for 30+ hours per week

About us: Pup Culture is a woman-owned, highly rated pet care company in the Twin Cities.  We provide peace of mind to busy pet parents.  We specialize in safe, individualized dog walks and cat sitting.  We serve over 400 active clients, and we continue to grow.  We value client connections (both human and fur), pets’ safety, integrity and honesty, teamwork, an inclusive environment for both our team and our clients, exemplary communication, and a complete wow experience for our clients.

Who we are looking for:

  • You need to have excellent time management skills. We do anywhere from 4-10 walks per day. Usually the visits are back-to-back and must be completed within a certain time frame.

  • You need to have strong communication skills, both written and verbal. We communicate with clients mostly through notes through our system. Our clients love receiving our updates each day, so you must be able to communicate clearly with clients and staff.
  • You should have strong animal intuition skills. We provide ongoing animal training, but you must bring a confidence with animals to each visit.
  • You must be an animal-lover and have endless amounts of patience when it comes to animals.

  • Availability between 10:00am-3:00pm Monday-Friday and one weekend a quarter (four times a year)
