Dog Walker

Paws Around MotownBirmingham/Bloomfield Hills Route, MI
Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for someone who already loves these streets. A Birmingham and Bloomfield dog walking route. Weekdays, school hours, the same dogs every week. There is a particular hour in Birmingham, somewhere between the last school drop-off and the first car home, when the whole neighborhood goes quiet. The sidewalks empty. The light comes sideways through the oaks around Quarton Lake. And behind about forty front doors between here and Franklin, a dog is standing at a window, waiting. That hour is the job. We are being deliberate about where you live, and here is why We want to hire someone who is already here. Not out of fussiness, but because a five minute drive to your first visit beats a thirty-five minute one every single day, for as long as you stay with us. That time is yours. We would rather you keep it. So this role is genuinely only open to people living in Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Franklin, Bingham Farms or the Bloomfields. What the days actually look like Monday through Friday, roughly 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Six to eight visits a day, all of them within a few square miles The same homes and the same dogs every week - this is your route, not a rota An occasional Saturday morning You will know which one hides the leash, which one will not walk past the corgi on Pilgrim, and which one needs an extra minute before you go. Paws Around Motown is the only triple-certified, award-winning, veterinarian-endorsed pet care company in Oakland County. We are bonded and insured. Every team member is background-checked. And we make one promise that we have never broken: we do not cancel on a client. Ever. That promise is the entire reason we hire slowly and train carefully. When a family in Bloomfield Hills leaves for a week, they are not hoping someone shows up. They know. The honest part This is not a job for someone who wants to love dogs from a comfortable distance. You will be outside in the rain and outside in February. You will clean up things you would rather not. You will be the person who notices that the fourteen year old shepherd on Henrietta is slower this week than last, and you will be the one who has to say so. If that reads as the best part of the job rather than the hard part, we would very much like to meet you.
