Pet Care Specialist - Ledyard & surrounding areas

$16.95 per hour

Barks and Recreation LLC

Job Description

Job Description

Looking for a part-time job that doesn’t feel like work?

If you’re tired of sitting behind a desk (or staring at a screen), or dealing with customer, clients, or managers that don't appreciate you AND you want to spend some of your day outside with dogs - you might’ve just found your thing.

At Barks & Recreation , we’re building a team of people who want flexibility, fresh air, and work that actually feels good.

This Is Perfect If You:

✔ Want consistent part-time hours without burnout
✔ Prefer movement over sitting still
✔ Enjoy working independently, but not alone
✔ Want a job that fits your life, not takes it over (unless you want that LOL)

What You’ll Do:

Dog walks, trail hikes, and pet care visits
Check in on pets while pet parents are busy 
Share visit updates + photos of your visits (yes, it’s part of the job!)
Build relationships with pets and our amazing team

The Schedule:

Minimum availability is 3 days/week (2 of them M-F)
⏰ 4+ consecutive hours between 9AM–4PM - availability outside of that a bonus! 

Pay + Perks:

$16.95/hr + tips (average $3–9/hr)
Paid mileage
Flexible scheduling
Pet care discounts
Opportunities to grow into other roles if interested

What You’ll Need:

Reliable, insured vehicle
Smartphone with internet, GPS + a good camera
A love for animals and being active outdoors

No experience? No problem, we’ll train you
People who have had their own dogs tend to thrive in this role!

If you want work that feels good at the end of the day, you've found it!
