Job Description

Winston Salem Dog Walking is an established and well-known local dog walking company in Winston-Salem, NC.

We strive to provide an unmatched experience for our clients and staff while enjoying the companionship, exercise, and fresh air that this job provides. We are rapidly growing and continue to set the standard for pet care in the area.  We service Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and nearby communities.
Our daycare is located at 4680 Tobaccoville Road, Tobaccoville, NC.

  • Monday - Thursday (mornings)
  • Monday - Thursday (afternoons)

  • Additional optional earning opportunities beyond those shifts.

Job Summary

  • This position will start at 15 hours a week and is designed to be part-time. It will rarely exceed 30-40 hours weekly.
  • We provide our pet care team with as small of a coverage area as possible within our service area boundary in order to make travel time as short and efficient as possible.
  • We do not group dogs from different families together, so our team does not have to control more than two dogs at a time.
  • We also offer care for other animals, and these services will be assigned based on experience and training.
  • This can be a physically demanding job, and it requires the ability to walk at a brisk pace for multiple hours a day, as well as the ability to control dogs of all sizes in a variety of weather conditions. 
  • All team members are hired as employees. Schedules can fluctuate based on our requests for the week and will require great communication skills and the ability to pay attention to their notifications in the scheduling app. 
  • This job is highly rewarding if you are truly passionate about animals and enjoy being outside and active. This is a great opportunity for freelancers, stay-at-home parents, restaurant industry workers, retirees, and college students with consistent availability.
