STEADY RAISES, ROOM FOR GROWTH:
(If you want to skip the deets and apply already just skip to the last paragraph.)
You shadow for a week, taking in minimum wage for only one week. Essentially you do nothing but ride along, meet the dogs and coworkers, work with your trainer, and learn the basics. Not bad at all.
Week #2 is a bit different, so we up you to our training wage, $22/hour, the high end of industry standards for starting pay. You start picking up your own packs of dogs and meet up with me and other staff at our walking locations - typically Crissy Field and the forest at the Presidio. You start keeping track of your mileage and will be reimbursed gallon for gallon. You learn.
You're bumped up to $22.50 for 2nd leg of training, and after your training is complete, typically the first few months of employ, $23/hour and employee status, not independent contractor like some other jobs posted in the industry. You'll get your dog walker certification and permit through us ($800-$1000 you don't have to spend) and you're ready to go. The longer you stick with it, the more you involve yourself in our company mission, the more you demonstrate your willingness to work hard and grow professionally, the more you learn, the more you earn.
There's training at every level, even at the top where we'll prepare you for leadership roles. It may seem like only a dog walking job, but with all groups being off leash, there's great responsibility and need for skill development. This is vocational training, and things you learn here will undoubtedly serve you in subsequent jobs and careers.
On top of your daily shifts are near daily completely optional opportunities for private walks and pet sitting. Some choose to take on daily private walks, expanding on the general 6 hour day. Sometimes people just take one off private walks.
Pet sitting can earn lots of extra if you're able to host dogs in your place, and it's the easiest money you've ever made.
THE HOURS:
Typical shifts last five to 6-8 hours Monday-Friday from around 10am to 4pm.
For us, there is no such thing as working nights, weekends, or holidays. However, good extra income is available to you through boarding, solo walks, and eventually private lessons on your own personal schedule as needed by our clientele. Most employees here eventually take on an ongoing private walk either before or after work to expand pay and hours!
THE TEAM:
We are all about 20-35. We get along great, going out for drinks after work sometimes, getting together for team outings, or just hanging out in the field every day with the dogs. I believe who you work with is one of the most important things in your life. You spend so much time at work you better love it.
