Job Description

Job Description

Part Time Pet Sitter & Dog Walker— Tampa, FL Metro Area

Do you love dogs (or cats) and enjoy working independently? The Comforted Kitty is looking for reliable, responsible pet lovers to provide in-home dog or cat sitting visits and dog walking while clients are away. You can also provide boarding for cats or dogs in your home if interested.

This is a flexible, part-time independent contractor position where all jobs are voluntary and you set your availability and service area, and we match you with clients. It’s a great fit if you want meaningful, independent work caring for dogs and cats, helping pet parents travel with peace of mind, and building trust with repeat clients. What You’ll Do

Pet sitting visits may include:

  • Feeding and refreshing water
  • Cleaning up waste
  • Giving playtime, affection, or companionship based on each pet's personality
  • Sending visit updates and photos through our app
  • Following each client’s detailed care instructions
  • Bringing in mail or packages
  • Adjusting lights, blinds, or trash/recycling when requested
  • Administering medication when within your experience and comfort level
Most visits take place while clients are traveling, so weekend, holiday, morning, afternoon, and evening availability is especially valuable. Service Types
  • Walks: 30-90 minutes (1-3x daily)
  • Drop-ins: 30 / 45 / 60 minutes (1–3x daily)
  • Extended daytime visits: 2-8 hours
  • Overnights: 10-12 hour stays
  • 24-hour care: live-in with overnight care
  • Boarding in your home
What We Look For
  • Experienced with dog or cat care, especially in a pet sitting capacity
  • Confidently handle dogs from small to large
  • Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented
  • Strong written communication
  • Comfortable working independently in clients’ homes
  • Smartphone with reliable internet & camera
  • Medication experience (oral, injections, fluids)
  • Holiday & weekend availability
Pay + Perks
  • Sitters are paid per visit, with rates typically starting around $25 per 30 minute visit, with higher pay for longer visits, overnight care, house sitting.
  • Weekly direct deposit
  • Bonus opportunities (holidays, short notice, strong feedback)
  • 100% of tips go to you
Apply

Apply through our quick, mobile-friendly application.

Notes:

  • Apply to one location only
  • No phone calls (we contact strong matches)
