Furry Fellas is currently hiring dependable, experienced animal professionals for dog walking and pet sitting positions in the Warwick, RI area.

This is a great opportunity for individuals looking for active, ongoing pet care work with an established professional company that values reliability, communication, continued education, and high-quality care standards.

CURRENT PRIORITY COVERAGE NEEDS:
• Weekday mornings (7am–10am)
• Weekday afternoons (11am–1pm or 11am–3pm)
• Weekday evenings (4pm–6pm)

Applicants are not expected to work every service block. However, the selected block(s) should generally remain consistently available for scheduling purposes.

The more recurring coverage blocks an applicant is available for, the greater the opportunity for scheduling, client assignments, and increased hours.

We manage scheduling assignments based on client demand and business needs. Team members are responsible for managing their travel routes between visits and arriving reliably and on time to assigned appointments.
