The Comforted Canine
Professional Dog Sitter – A Purrfectly Flexible Opportunity!
Do you love dogs? Are you great at customer service and have a flexible schedule? Do you dream of turning your passion for canines into a rewarding job? If so,
The Comforted Canine
is looking to contract immediately with a self‑employed Dog Sitter in the Salt Lake City metro area.
The position is very flexible: you set your own hours, service area, and when you want to work. Get paid to take care of adorable dogs – a dream for anyone who loves tails, barks, and paws!
The Perks
Make money doing what you love!
Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more.
Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.
Flexibility
Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you’d like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.
Community
It’s not just about the work. Have access to a groupchat network of dozens of other self‑employed pet care providers across the country who you can ask questions or advice about dog care, health and behavior as well as community resources for fostering or adopting dogs (and cats) in need of homes.
A Day in the Life of a Dog Sitter Dog Sitters visit dogs in client’s homes for drop‑in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes, once or twice daily or for 10‑hour overnight stays) OR dog walks (30, 60, or 90 minute private walks or 60 minute group walks). Before your first sitting visit, you’ll meet each client and their dog in person for a meet and greet in their home, winning them over with your warm smile, demeanor and professional approach. You’ll go over the whole care routine, finding out where things are in the home, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you’ll precisely follow the directions the client has given for the dog and home care, socialize with the dog, leave the home spotless, and delight the client by sending a daily visit update to them through our pet sitting phone app.
What We’re Looking For
At least 18 years old
Experience caring for dogs (professional experience is a plus but NOT required)
The ability to walk, run, pull, push, bend or reach for extended periods of time
Capable of handling all sizes of canines from small to large
A smartphone with internet access, texting, and camera capabilities
Ability to pass a criminal background check and provide references
Compassion, patience, and reliability
Organized, systematic, and able to keep track of client schedules and keys
Able to handle unexpected and emergency situations
Able to perform work that can be very physically and mentally demanding at times
Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering oral meds, injections or fluids
Calm, reliable, and organized personality (dogs love consistency, and so do we!)
Availability during peak times, especially winter holidays
Why This Job is the Dog’s Best Friend
Dog Sitting/Walking: 30, 45, or 60 minute visits/walks; 1x, 2x, or 3x daily Morning (6 am – 12 pm)
Afternoon (12 pm – 5 pm)
Evening (5 pm – 10 pm)
Anytime (6 am – 10 pm)
Overnight Visits (10‑hour stays in the client’s home)
Morning or afternoon pack walk (up to 6 dogs)
We’ll match you with clients based on your availability. While we need reliability, the schedule is flexible within the timeframes chosen by your clients.
About Us The Dog Care Equation = Reliability + Responsibility + Responsiveness.
Every single dog owner we’ve met considers their dog an essential part of their family. But, when they go away, knowing what to do and where to turn can be a hard road to navigate. Especially when there are so many seemingly “easy” options out there.
In our modern society, it can be challenging finding a dog sitter who is reliable, responsible, and responsive. We’ve seen all too often pet sitters who don’t recognize the profound importance of this. A negligent, inattentive, unknowledgeable dog sitter is not a lesson to be learned. It can be a travesty for both you and your dog.
We’re a trusted provider of professional in‑home dog care and dog walks. Whether it’s a shy senior dog or a rambunctious puppy, we provide individualized care with a focus on professionalism and love.
“Finding a reliable, responsive, and professional dog sitter these days is hard. Providing the highest quality service to our clients is of utmost importance to our company. Your trust and respect must not be violated by anyone you hire to care for your beloved dog and home.”
