Job Description

Dog Walker – Join Our Team!

About Us:
Homeward Bound Dog Walking and Adventure Services, LLC has been bringing peace of mind to pet parents in the Lakes Region since 2011. With over 35,000 visits under our belt, we treat every pup like family—and we support our team with the same level of care.

Position Overview:
We’re looking for dog lovers to join our walking team in Gilford, Laconia, Belmont, and Meredith. Walks happen Monday through Friday, mostly between 11 AM – 2 PM, with occasional visits starting as early as 9 AM or as late as 4 PM. We’re hiring for 2–5 days per week, depending on your availability.

This job could be a great fit if you:
✔ Love dogs and feel confident handling all sizes and energy levels
✔ Have reliable transportation (you’ll be doing a lot of driving)
✔ Own a smartphone with data and a camera
✔ Check your email regularly and have consistent internet access
✔ Can pass a background check and drug test
✔ Are physically fit (able to lift 45 lbs and walk up to 5 miles a day)
✔ Stay on time, even with a full schedule
✔ Write clearly and kindly (you’ll send short updates to clients after each visit)
✔ Are observant, patient, and dependable
✔ Plan to stay in the role for at least 6 months (if you already have a planned exit before then, this probably isn’t the right fit—we invest a lot in training and building client trust)

What You’ll Do:
🐶 Walk dogs safely on-leash in all kinds of weather
📲 Track visits and write pet care journals using our scheduling app
🏡 Respect and protect our clients’ homes
⛽ Get reimbursed for mileage + earn tips on top of your hourly pay
🎓 Receive paid training to set you up for success

What Makes Us Different:
We hire employees, not independent contractors—so you’re part of a team with structure, support, and guidance every step of the way. We care for our clients and our staff, and we believe that when our walkers are supported, pups get the very best care.

If you're someone who loves dogs, loves being outside, and wants meaningful, flexible work—we’d love to hear from you!
