Chicagoland In-Home Overnight Pet Sitter

Overview

Earn $1000 - $3000+ per month. Access to Supplemental Insurance and Retirement Savings.

Green Paws Chicago is proud to have a team of dedicated Pet Care Specialists with a passion for animals that translates into better care. Our employees set the standard for customer service and pet advocacy; walking dogs; visiting cats/small animals; and servicing clients – the four-legged and the two-legged ones – with all the love and care they deserve. We are committed to social responsibility, constantly exploring ways that we can improve our impact within the community.

We are currently looking for a “Super Sitter” to join our team of pet-loving individuals. This is an opportunity to thrive in an independent work environment; enjoy the fresh air; get exercise walking dogs; and spend your time improving the lives of both dogs and cats earning a second income while you’re doing your full-time remote-work job.

This position entails staying in a client’s home with their pup(s) or cat(s) while they are away on vacation or work trips. We are looking for someone with a remote work job that allows them to work from anywhere. If your position requires you to participate in virtual meetings, you must have flexibility to schedule those meetings at your discretion. If this describes you and your current role, then our Super Sitter position will allow you to earn additional W-2 income while maintaining your regular nine-to-five job.
