Do you love dogs? Are you great at customer service and have a flexible schedule? Do you dream of turning your passion for canines into a rewarding job? If so, The Comforted Canine is looking to contract immediately with a self-employed Dog Sitter in the Orlando area.

The position is very flexible: you set your own hours, service area, and when you want to work. Get paid to take care of adorable dogs—a dream for anyone who loves tails, barks, and paws!

Here’s what’s in it for you:

• Competitive Pay - Make money doing what you love!

• Bonuses & Holiday Pay - Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more. Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.

• Flexibility - Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you’d like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.

• Access to a group chat network of dozens of other self-employed pet care providers across the country for questions, advice, and community resources for fostering or adopting dogs and cats in need.

Dog Sitters visit dogs in client’s homes for drop-in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes, once or twice daily or for 10-hour overnight stays) OR dog walks (30, 60, or 90-minute private walks or 60-minute group walks). You’ll meet each client and their dog in person for a meet and greet, learn their routines, and discuss emergency plans. During visits, you follow care instructions, socialize, leave the home tidy, and send updates via our app.

• Meet & Greet: Learn about the dog's needs and routines.
• Dog Care Done Right: Follow detailed instructions for feeding, water, bowls, litter, medications.
• Happy Hours: Spend quality time with dogs, offering love, cuddles, or play.
• Walking: Walk dogs in groups or privately, in the neighborhood or agreed location.
• Light Housekeeping: Small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, trash.
• Daily Updates: Keep owners informed with updates and photos through our app.

Essential Traits:

• At least 18 years old
• Experience caring for dogs (professional experience is a plus but NOT required)
• Ability to walk, run, pull, push, bend or reach for extended periods
• Capable of handling all sizes of dogs
• A smartphone with internet, texting, and camera capabilities

This is a flexible, self-employed role perfect for part-timers, unconventional schedules, or a fulfilling side hustle. You choose your shifts: dog sitting/walking, overnight stays, or pack walks, with options for different times of day.

We’ll match you with clients based on your availability within the chosen time frames. The schedule is flexible but requires reliability.

We prioritize reliability, responsibility, and responsiveness. Our goal is to provide professional, individualized care with love and professionalism, recognizing the importance of each dog as part of the family.
