Love Animals? Get Paid to Walk Dogs and Cuddle Kittens.

Earn $10–17/hr caring for pets on a schedule that fits YOUR life. The Pet Parlor is growing across Porter and Lake County, and we're looking for our next amazing pet sitter/dog walker.

Real support from our team — you'll never feel alone on a job
Oh, and free dog kisses. Lots of them.

What the job looks like:

You'll travel to clients' homes and take care of their pets — feeding, walking, medication administration, litter scooping, accident cleanup, and sending updates to pet parents. You'll also need to communicate promptly with our office and your fellow team members. Did we mention you'll be required to play with puppies and kittens? It's a tough gig.

Who thrives on our team:

Moms with kids in school. Retirees who want something meaningful to fill their time. College students who need a job that works around classes. Weekend-only folks. Morning or evening-only folks. We build YOUR schedule around YOUR life — not the other way around.
