Want to apply for a dog walking job?

 

Cubicle walls seemingly growing taller and taller? Recycled air choking you at your desk? The man got you down?

Looking for work outdoors? Want something new, exciting, active, and fun to offset the madness?
 

Simply love our fluffy, shaggy, large and small four legged barking friends?

 

Then we sure do have an offer for you: work with dogs. Seriously, it'll change your life. Your mind will be opened and your soul unleashed. It could be the best job you'll ever have. Keep reading!

We are always looking to meet quality candidates who could effectively lead OFF LEASH GROUPS of dogs through open space at parks and beaches with us. Teacher, dog trainer, coach, boot camp instructor, friend, confidant...we wear a lot of hats with these dogs, and sometimes they eat them!

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR are people who'd fit our core values well, who like being outdoors, who are responsible and caring, amiable, and professional at work. If that's you, you're in.

REQUIREMENTS: 

  • Do you love dogs? 

  • Available Monday–Friday ~9:30am–4:30pm (opt in to more if desired)?

  • Live in SF or within 5 miles?

  • Not eligible if you live in: North of San Rafael, East Bay, South Bay

  • No experience needed — we train you!

  • Must Commit: Minimum 1-year (because of our training investment)

  • Valid driver’s license & clean driving record

  • You must arrange TWO strong reference calls from past supervisors (to be supplied at the end of the hiring process should we get there)

  • Energetic, athletic, patient, and responsible

  • Great communicator, friendly, and ready to learn?

 

If you can rightfully answer "yes" to each and every of the preceding questions, apply now. These are all "must have" qualities to keep our company at the forefront of the industry. We are top tier and need you to be, too. We've won best dog walker in SF and even the entire Bay Area numerous times. 

Here's what former teammates are saying, "I thought dog walking at Citizen Hound would be another of those regular jobs, but boy was I wrong. I would highly encourage anyone to work for this company, whether they want a career in animal care or not. What this job has done for my mental health is astronomical. From the culture of family on the team, to the incredible dogs, to spending time in the beautiful outdoors of San Francisco every day, to making the dogs’ parents happy by making their dogs happy, this job has given me so much happiness I can’t put it into words."

Emailing directly instead of using this form is great because you can attach a pic of your dog, but please include all the info requested, like cross streets, age, breed, and energy/playstyle at the park. No need to repeat that info if you're just adding a picture to the form submission.
