Dog Walker
Details:
The Pet People is a small local company based in Hare Hatch. We offer dog walking, day care and dog sitting around the Maidenhead, Wargrave and Twyford areas.
We are looking for part time dog walkers to provide the highest quality service to our existing customers.
If you don't like the thought of getting muddy, wet, or cold then this is not the job for you. Our dogs are lively friendly dogs who like to share their mud with you, they expect you to play with them and to make their walks fun and interesting. Their owners then expect you to clean them up again afterwards! We walk dogs all year round in all weathers, the dogs don't care if it is hot and sunny or wet and windy!
As our dog walkers walk a number (maximum of 4) of large lively dogs at a time in places where there are members of the public it is essential that you are confident working with dogs and are confident in handling young, large, energetic dogs as you could be walking four dogs from day one.
Our customers are often out at work during the day so I need people who are 100% reliable and honest. A police reference check will be required and references will be followed up before any offer of work is made.
Hours of work will generally be between 9am and 3pm, Monday to Friday although extra hours are sometimes available and flexibility is expected to be able to deliver the service that our customers expect. There may be the opportunity to earn extra money dog sitting (subject to your home and garden being suitable) and cat sitting.
Positions are offered on an employed basis so you must have permission to work permanently in the UK. We are looking for people who can give a long term commitment; this is not suitable for people looking for temporary employment. We need people who are very reliable as our customers depend on us to deliver our service every day.
You must have a full clean driving licence.
Essential personal qualities:
All dog walkers must be able to demonstrate that they can keep calm in a crisis, deliver excellent customer service, be totally reliable and take responsibility for own mistakes. They must be happy spending long periods working alone but be able to work as a member of a small hard-working team.
Previous work experience with dogs will be a distinct advantage, this can be voluntary, paid, temporary or permanent.
Rate of pay £7.50 per hour.
