Dog Walker & Pet Sitter - Mystic & surrounding areas

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.

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!

Opportunities to grow into other roles if interested

What You’ll Need:

Reliable, insured vehicle
Smartphone with internet, GPS + a good camera

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!
