Overview:
Skipper is looking for passionate and creative animal lovers to provide unparalleled care for our amazing clients and their adorable pets. Our Skipper walkers love being outdoors, are passionate about animals, think quickly on their feet, and create adventures in everyday life.
Our Skipper walkers are part-time W-2 employees that are shifted by our operations team two-weeks in advance and are scheduled for a series of walks, each shift based on client demand.
Walkers use our proprietary app to access daily schedule, visit information, and to document the visit through photos and creative visit reports for our clients.
Skipper has a unique operations team that is available throughout the day to support and assist with any issues our walkers encounter.
Our walkers receive over 10 hours of classroom and on-the-job training before performing their first solo visit so they can feel confident and prepared to meet all of the furry friends of Skipper.
