About Us
This job takes a special kind of person. We work rain or shine, and our walkers build long-term relationships with their own set of clients. Reliability is critical—if you frequently require time off for personal obligations, this role may not be the right fit.
We are a tight-knit team dedicated to the dogs first and foremost. We continually grow our knowledge through certifications in dog handling and behaviour, share expertise, and support one another.
If you are passionate about dogs, dependable, and looking to be part of a professional, committed team, we'd love to hear from you
Please apply if this sounds like the group you belong with.
