About Buckhead Pet Pals
Buckhead Pet Pals is Atlanta's premier pet sitting company, dedicated to providing specialized in-home pet care for 26 years. Our #1 priority is delivering superior care to our clients and their pets. We bridge the gap between busy pet owners and their furry family members, ensuring peace of mind while they are away.
About the Role
We are seeking an active, passionate, and reliable Pet Sitter to join our team in the Sandy Springs area. As an Independent Contractor, you will be the trusted face of our service, visiting clients' homes to exercise, love, and care for their animals. Whether it involves walking dogs in any weather condition, feeding, or administering medication to cats, your role is vital to maintaining the well-being of our clients' pets.
You will manage a schedule of multiple daily visits, ranging from 30 to 60 minutes per client, ensuring consistent care for pets whose owners are traveling. The role requires you to live within 5 to 7 miles of our clients to ensure timely service. You will communicate directly with clients via our mobile app to confirm instructions and maintain high-quality service standards.
Why Join Us?
Working with Buckhead Pet Pals offers a unique blend of physical activity and emotional reward. Dog walking serves as an excellent way to stay active and get your daily exercise without needing a gym membership. Additionally, the act of caring for cats and dogs daily provides a stress-free environment, allowing you to focus entirely on the joy of interacting with animals while our office handles the scheduling logistics.
Application Instructions
To apply, please ensure you meet the location requirements (Buckhead, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, or Dunwoody) and have a reliable personal car and smartphone with ample data. While previous experience is preferred, a genuine passion for pets and strong communication skills are the most important qualifications.
