Have weekdays free on Long Island and love dogs?

Dan’s Pet Care is hiring full-time and part-time Pet Care Specialist employees to walk neighborhood dogs and do drop‑in visits on daytime routes across the North Shore of Nassau County and nearby areas.

In this role, you’ll spend your shifts visiting pets in their homes, taking dogs for walks, giving food, water, and medication as instructed, and sending quick photo updates to their humans. You’ll be backed by our 24-hour staffed, cage‑free facility in Glen Cove, so you’re never on your own if something comes up.

What You’ll Do

Visit clients’ homes for scheduled dog walks and pet sitting visits
Walk dogs of all sizes safely on leash in local neighborhoods
Follow detailed care instructions for each pet (feeding, medication, routines)
Drive between appointments within our service area
Use our app on your smartphone to check in and out and send visit notes and photos
Monitor pets for any signs of stress or illness and report concerns promptly
Build long‑term, trusting relationships with pet parents

What You Get

Employment as a company employee, not a contractor, with a stable, supportive team
Paid training before your first solo shift
Paid time off and paid sick time (for eligible team members)
401(k) plan (for eligible team members)
Gas stipend and paid travel time between appointments
Consistent routes and support from a 24-hour staffed team in Glen Cove and Manhasset
Opportunities to grow into senior and leadership roles over time
Employee discounts on Dan’s Pet Care services

Pay: 18.00 to 19.50 dollars per hour, depending on experience and route mix, plus a 1.25 dollar gas stipend per visit.

What You Bring

You’ll be a great fit if you:

Love animals, especially dogs, and are comfortable with both large and small breeds
Are able to walk and be on your feet for extended periods in all kinds of weather
Show up on time, every time, and treat this as a real, professional job
Live within or very close to our North Shore Nassau County service area
Are willing to drive to multiple nearby towns during your shift
Have your own insured vehicle that can safely transport dogs on some visits
Own a smartphone (iPhone or Android) and are comfortable using apps
Can commit to a consistent schedule (weekday daytime hours are most in demand; some evening or weekend hours are a plus)
