About The Position

Furry Fellas Pet Service LLC is hiring experienced pet care professionals to provide evening pet sitting and dog walking in Warwick, Rhode Island. The role involves caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals in clients’ homes while clients are working or away. Visits may include walking and exercising dogs, bathroom breaks, feeding, administering medication when applicable, cat and small-animal care, litter-box cleaning, and providing attention and care. Team members follow clients’ detailed care instructions and document each visit for clients. The position requires consistent weekday evening availability between Monday and Friday during one of the stated time windows: 5–9 p.m., 6–9 p.m., or 7–9 p.m. The stated minimum is 10 hours per week. New team members typically begin with fewer hours and may build their schedules as training is completed and clients are assigned. Ongoing hours depend on availability, performance, client demand, and territory. Team members may set a maximum number of hours they wish to work. Additional weekday or weekend availability may create opportunities for more hours. This is a long-term, part-time role paid per visit rather than by the hour. Visit rates depend on visit length and experience; the posting lists starting rates from $9 for 15-minute visits to $16–$18 for 60-minute visits. Mileage reimbursement, tips, paid training and meetings, paid certifications and continuing education, and reimbursement for a Pet First Aid certificate course (if not already completed before a job offer) are also offered. Additional pay is available for certain advanced certifications. The employer says established professionals have averaged approximately $18–$20 or more per hour in total compensation, while actual earnings vary.
