- The position will start at 10-12 hours weekly but can quickly grow to 20-25 hours weekly.
- Performance and Referral bonuses are available.
- Client gratuity.
- Paid training, including Pet CPR certification.

“Pet Fit is the best dog walking service I have used. Reilly took great care of my two beagles for over a year. Scheduling walks and payment was always easy via the Pet Fit portal. Reilly is always responsive and accommodating. He really got to know the dogs and gave detailed daily updates with great pictures. He was also always quick to point out and relay any changes in their behavior and often noticed if the dogs were not feeling well or were sick before we did. ”
