Hey there! Thanks for sniffing out this awesome job opportunityâwe promise itâs worth your time. Weâre Downtown Pittsburgh Dogs, a small but mighty pet care company thatâs been making tails wag and purrs happen since 2012. Our team specializes in dog walking, cat visits, and overnight pet-sitting in the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods. We love what we do, andâjudging by our Google, Facebook, Yelp, and Instagram reviewsâour clients love us too!
Now, weâre growing our pack and looking for dog walkers and pet sitters to join us in the best job you never knew you needed.
𦴠What Weâre Hiring For:
Part-Time Dog Walker (3â5 shifts per week)
Walk happy pups, visit cool cats, and get your daily steps in while getting paid. This shift mainly runs TuesâWedâThurs (with some Monday/Friday options if youâd like a little more), about 2â3 hours per day with 3â5 visits per day (example locations can include Sq. Hill, Lawrenceville, South Side, etc). Average compensation target: $1,200â$1,500/month, with room to grow into more work if youâre thriving and want more.
Overnight Pet Sitter (as needed)
Be the ultimate sleepover guest for some four-legged friends. More details if you are able/interested.
⨠Bonus: Want to do both? Even better. Weâll build opportunities for the right people. More work = more money.
đŠ The âRuffâ Stuff (Letâs Be Real)
-Yes, youâll deal with poop. (Weâve got bags for that.)
-Expect slobber, fur-covered clothes, and dogs that sometimes test your leadership.
-Youâll need energy, patience, and confidenceâthis is work, not just a casual stroll.
-You wonât get rich, but you can make a solid income and have a good lifestyle. Full-time walkers can earn $500â$1,000/week; part-time walkers/sitters can earn $400â$1,500/month.
-Parallel parking and some evening walks are part of the job (donât worryâwe supply the headlamp).

-Steady work. If youâre dependable, youâll always have visits lined up.
-No dress code. Wear whatâs comfortable (as long as itâs appropriate).
-Free fitness. Walking miles a day keeps you healthyâyour fitness tracker will be thrilled.
-Independence. No micromanagingâjust you, happy pets, and smooth systems.
-Quick onboarding. Our streamlined training gets you earning fast.

We expect 99% of our visits to meet this mark. The other 1%? Thatâs where we communicate, ask for help, and solve challenges so they donât repeat. If youâre someone who takes pride in your work and wants to be part of a crew thatâs serious about excellence, youâll thrive here.
