Full-Time Dog Walker – Monday–Friday 9AM–6PM

Everett, WA

Full Time

Entry Level

Let’s talk about cake for a moment.

Working with dogs is the frosting—the part everyone gets excited about, but it's only a small part of the job.

The cake is the core of the job: structure, reliability, and physical work that keep everything running. It’s a more substantial kind of sweetness—different from the frosting, but deeply rewarding.

The cake looks like this:

Starting your route on time every day — dogs can’t reschedule their walks
Driving between client homes — your car is your office
Walking 10–15 miles a day — in all weather conditions
Showing up consistently — even when the weather is miserable
Working independently — no one is looking over your shoulder during the day
Being accountable to human clients first — their homes, schedules, and expectations come first

That’s the cake—about 95% of the job: walking in the rain, picking up poop, getting splashed while drying off, driving on snowy roads. The frosting is cuddling the dog after everything else is done—about 5%.

What the day looks like

9:00 AM – 2:00 PM: Dog walking route visiting client homes
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Unpaid lunch break
3:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Light facility support at our daycare (monitoring, cleaning, and maintaining a calm environment)

How to Answer the Scenarios

The following questions are designed to show how you think, not whether you can guess the “right” answer.

In real workplaces, situations rarely have a perfect solution. The answer choices are intentionally written so that none of them are perfect. Each option reflects a different way someone might approach the situation.

Please choose the answer that feels closest to what you would realistically do.

Scenario 1

You’re assigned to sanitize a grocery store meat prep area using strong cleaning chemicals. The area cannot be left unattended because of open containers and food safety rules.

Midway through, a coworker rushes over and says: “I need help right now—someone dropped a case of wine in Aisle 3. There’s broken glass and slippery liquid everywhere!”

You’re the only one nearby, and both situations are time-sensitive.

What would you do first?*

Scenario 2

You’re working a shift when your manager tells you that a task from the previous day was missed. You didn’t realize the task was assigned to you, but your manager still expects you to help make sure it doesn’t happen again.

What would you do?*

Scenario 3

You’re working at a customer service counter when someone approaches clearly frustrated.

They say:

“I called earlier to check if you had something in stock. The person I spoke to said yes, so I drove 25 minutes to get here. Now I’m being told it’s sold out. This is ridiculous.”

You didn’t take the call, but you’re the one speaking with them now.

What would you do first?*

Scenario 4

You’re part of a small team where reliability matters. Mid-shift, your manager pulls you aside and says:

“Jane had to leave suddenly due to a family emergency. We’re short-handed and I really need someone to stay late and help with closing.”

That evening is your mom’s birthday, and you already have plans to celebrate with family.

How would you respond?*

Scenario 5

You’re finishing your shift and getting ready to leave when you notice the cash register isn’t working properly. It appears to be jammed and won’t open.

Your shift ends in a few minutes. Fixing the issue will likely require calling support and waiting for a technician to arrive.

Overtime has not been approved for your shift.

What would you do first?*
