Description
Looking for a part-time job that doesn’t feel like a job? 🧡
If you’re tired of sitting behind a desk (or staring at a screen), or dealing with customer, clients, or managers that don't appreciate you AND you want to spend some of your day outside with dogs - you might’ve just found your thing.
At Barks & Recreation, we’re building a team of people who want flexibility, fresh air, and work that actually feels good.
🐾 This Is Perfect If You:
✔ Want consistent part-time hours without burnout
✔ Prefer movement over sitting still
✔ Enjoy working independently, but not alone
✔ Want a job that fits your life, not takes it over (unless you want that LOL)
What You’ll Do:
🐕 Dog walks, trail hikes, and pet care visits
🏡 Check in on pets while pet parents are busy
📸 Share visit updates + photos of your visits (yes, it’s part of the job!)
💛 Build relationships with pets and our amazing team
The Schedule:
🗓 Minimum availability is 3 days/week (2 of them M-F)
⏰ 4+ consecutive hours between 9AM–4PM - availability outside of that a bonus!
Pay + Perks:
💵 $16.95/hr + tips (average $3–9/hr)
🚙 Paid mileage
🌿 Flexible scheduling
🐶 Pet care discounts
📈 Opportunities to grow into other roles if interested
What You’ll Need:
🚗 Reliable, insured vehicle
📱 Smartphone with internet, GPS + a good camera
🐾 A love for animals and being active outdoors
No experience? No problem, we’ll train you 🧡
People who have had their own dogs tend to thrive in this role!
If you want work that feels good at the end of the day, you've found it!
