If you're fresh out of college, living the stay-at-home parent life, or between jobs and craving something fun, active, and meaningful, this might be your perfect transitional role.

  • Provide love, attention, and professional care

  • Document visits & take wall worthy photos of the pets in our care

  • Grow into new roles and areas if interested; admin, marketing, training, social media, HR and more!

What You’ll Need:

  • 🗓 Availability at least 3 days/week (including 2 weekdays), with a 4+ hour block between 9AM–4PM

  • 🚗 A reliable, insured, pet-friendly car

  • 📱 Smartphone with camera, GPS, and internet access
