Full-Time Dog Walker: Solo Explorer & Pack Pro

Everett, WA

Full Time

Entry Level

Imagine your office has no walls, your 'water cooler' talk is mostly puppy barks, and your daily mission is to lead the greatest neighborhood adventures in Everett. If you’re ready to trade the gym membership for a 'workout' that actually pays you back in wagging tails and fresh air, you’ve officially found your dream job.

Of course, this isn’t just sunshine and wagging tails.

This is about more than just "getting your steps in." You are the guardian of a dog’s best day ever. That means spotting a sidewalk hazard before the pup does, handling a rainy Everett afternoon without hesitation, and making sure every dog goes home safe and happy. It’s an active, high-standard role for someone who takes ownership of the leash and loves being a local hero to the pups.

Our Heroes Wear Many Hats:

All-Weather Adventurer: Rain or shine, you’re the one with the towel ready and a smile on your face.
The Safety Hawk: You have "eyes in the back of your head," spotting sidewalk hazards before the pup does.
The Five-Star Finish: You take pride in the details—scooping every poop and wiping every muddy paw to perfection.
Road Warrior: You love a good drive, navigate Everett like a local, and keep safety as your #1 priority.

The Two Part Daily Adventure:

The Solo Explorer (9:00 AM – 2:00 PM): You’re out in the neighborhood, one dog at a time—heading to client homes, getting them moving, and making sure each walk is safe, controlled, and on schedule.
The Pack Leader (3:00 PM – 6:00 PM): Now you’re handling a group—10–15 dogs, more energy, more to manage—watching behavior, stepping in when needed, and keeping things calm and under control.

Why We’re Different (And Better) Than the Apps:

A Guaranteed Schedule: No more scrambling for walks. You’ll have a consistent 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM route followed by a high-energy afternoon at daycare.
W-2 Status: You’re an employee, not a contractor. We handle payroll taxes, and you’re covered under Workers’ Comp and our insurance.
The "Safety Net": You aren’t alone. If you’re sick or something comes up, we have backup walkers who can step in so you’re not cancelling on clients.

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?*
