You are not paid for driving time or mileage but are encouraged to track mileage and vehicle expenses for tax purposes (I can show you how), along with any clothing or other work-related expenses (food doesnât count). Efficiency is key and to that end your clients will be scheduled as closely as possible together in regards to location as well as time so the bulk of your time is spent walking, not driving.
Job description for Dog Walkers - what you can expect & what will be expected of you if you are hired:
⢠After being hired you & I will meet existing clients (both owners and dogs). We will go over the specific needs of each household you will be working in and how to work most efficiently (i.e. the routine) with each client. You will be walking one or two dogs at a time. After you are successful with the company, you will be able meet new clients on your own.
⢠I will be responsible for your daily schedule. Any client requests in terms of schedule will go through myself for approval.
⢠When it is raining/cold/snowy/windy/icy, etc., dogs still need to go out. The actual outside time can be adjusted as needed due to inclement weather, which we will consider together on a case-by-case basis. If dogs get dirty or snowy or wet on the walk, you are required to clean/dry them off (owners will provide towels upon returning home.
⢠When you are walking a very friendly dog (and most of them are), remember that some of the dogs you will see are NOT friendly. To ensure the safety of our clients, keep the dog you are walking away from other dogs unless they are already friends. Do not allow children to pet dogs you are walking. Always err on the side of caution. All dogs must always be leashed during their walks.
⢠Client peace of mind & confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Do not take friends or family with you on the job, nor leave client keys, addresses, names, etc. accessible to anyone but yourself. Do not share client details with anyone.
