Job Description

Doggy Lama Pet Care offers a positive-reinforcement (R+)-oriented pet care experience to support
families in the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Alameda). We are an award-winning
business focused on safety, communication, and fun! We provide group trail hikes, buddy walks,
(smaller groups in the neighborhood,) and private dog walking services. We also offer puppy
playgroup classes, boarding, and cat care.

We walk dogs that are carefully vetted based on individual temperament. Walkers have immediate
response and support from our office for any issues with clients/pets or emergencies. Dedicated
back-up staff will cover for you when you’re sick or vacationing. You will have paid on-the-job
training and continuing education through the best positive-reinforcement dog trainers in the Bay
Area.

Compensation

$22-$24 / hour (starting rate based on experience; additional bonuses and gratuity will be
available).

$1300-$2400 / month
  • Opportunities to add on more hours with private walks besides those times but not to exceed 30 hours weekly
  • Regular employee reviews with potential for compensation increases based on performance
  • ​​​​​Up to 60 hours per year of paid time off to use for sick, vacation, or personal time
  • Retirement savings (401K program)
  • Reimbursement for business mileage at .65/mile
  • Time and a half pay for evenings/weekends and double time for holiday walks
  • $10 monthly cell phone stipend
Schedule:
  • Candidate must be available for private dog walking or puppy play groups in these windows: 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.
  • The role is designed to be part-time with most staff working 15-25 hours weekly. 
  • Most walks are on client neighborhood sidewalks and on a limited-basis, private trails hikes requested by clients. 
  • There may be an additional earning opportunity to work with dog walking groups. This will be based on the candidate's interest, availability, and skill set. Doggy Lama provides considerable on-the-job training before independent group dog walking. 
Ideal candidate:
  • Is an honest, patient, and enthusiastic person with a strong understanding of safety and time management.
  • Has previous professional or volunteer experience with animals is preferred, but a positive attitude and a desire to learn are just as important.
  • Enjoys an active work environment, working independently and outdoors regardless of weather conditions.
  • Has above-average verbal and written communication skills to communicate with staff, the general public, clients, and the office.
