Ready to swap spreadsheets for slobbery kisses?

If you're fresh out of college, living the stay-at-home parent life, or between jobs and craving something fun, active, and meaningful, this might be your perfect transitional role. At Barks & Recreation, we don’t just walk dogs; we build trust, create joy, and give pets their best lives (and help their humans breathe easier while we do it).

Whether you’re figuring out your next big move or testing the waters of the workforce, this part-time job offers flexibility, skill-building, and plenty of fresh air and of course lots of doggy kisses.

  • Visit pets in their home for neighborhood walks or head out for adventures on local trails

  • Provide love, attention, and professional care

  • Document visits & take wall worthy photos of the pets in our care

  • Grow into new roles and areas if interested; admin, marketing, training, social media, HR and more!

What You’ll Need:

  • 🗓 Availability at least 3 days/week (including 2 weekdays), with a 4+ hour block between 9AM–4PM

  • 🚗 A reliable, insured, pet-friendly car

  • 📱 Smartphone with camera, GPS, and internet access

Pay & Perks:

  • 🐶 Employee pet care discounts + real on-the-job learning

  • 📈 Growth potential in ALL areas of small biz—HR, admin, marketing, training, and beyond

No experience in pet care? No problem, paid training is part of the process! If you’re dependable, animal-obsessed, trustworthy and a good communicator, we can teach you the rest.

Come grow your resume (and your heart) at Barks & Recreation. Apply today. 🐾💛
