Employment | Employment Application

Hello potential doggie walker!

Thank you for your interest in working for The Doggie Walkers! We appreciate your time and passion for dogs. Below is a synopsis of the steps we take when interviewing potential employees to ensure that we maintain a great "pack".

Step 1: The Application
The purpose of the employment application is to obtain some general information about you. We also get a minimum of 6 references: 3 personal & 3 professional. These do not necessarily need to be relating specifically to dog care.

Step 2: Interview
 The interview will take place in the office after you have filled out the application. A Manager of The Doggie Walkrs will conduct this casual interview. At this time you will discuss in detail your availability and experience. Please do not hesitate to ask questions during the interview!

Step 3: Criminal Background and Reference Check
We will perform a criminal background check and a reference check. If we are satisfied with the results we will contact you to schedule training.

Step 4: Training
Training is a fun; relaxed means of seeing what a typical day is like as a professional pet sitter or dog walker. We will schedule a date and time for you to accompany a veteran sitter or walker on their jobs. You will get to meet some great pets and have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the job and our company. As rewarding and fun as this job is, we realize it is not for everyone. Before either of us commit, we want to make sure you have a good idea of what is involved.

Step 5: Orientation
After the successful completion of steps 1 – 4, we will invite you to join our pet-loving family! If you like us as much as we like you, we will schedule an orientation. This takes place in the office and generally takes 1 hour. At this time we will review our policies and procedures with you. You will also complete your tax forms and direct deposit form. Make sure you bring your drivers license, social security card or passport, proof of auto insurance, and a voided check.
