All Friends Pet Care
WORKING AS A PET SITTER FACT SHEET
Thank you for your interest in working for All Friends Pet Care! Our pet sitters are reliable, dependable, and are able to see a project through to completion. Our clients rely on us to care for their pets and home when they can’t be there, and we must work with pet sitters who will take this job seriously. This is a serious job, not an “oh, I’ll try it for a little while” job!
If you LOVE animals, desire to spend time with them, and want to make some extra money in the process, this is the job for you. If you can’t commit to six months, are anticipating a move out of the area, or will be seeking a full time job soon, this is NOT the job for you.
This job is best suited for students, retirees, at-home parents with kids in school, freelancers, and people with extra time during the day.
We are a full-service in-home pet sitting company with close to 1200 clients throughout the Northern Virginia area. We provide three types of service:
- Midday dog walking: Dog walkers will visit clients’ homes during the day, Monday through Friday, to visit and walk dogs while their owners are at work. Walks times are 10AM-3PM, and are done at the same time each day;
- Vacation pet sitting: Pet sitters will visit the client’s home several times daily to exercise and feed all of the pets in the household (cats are usually visited 1-2 times per day; dogs are visited 2-4 times per day);
- Overnight stays are an extension of vacation pet sitting: Overnight pet sitters will stay overnight in the client’s home with pets and give them extra time and attention during the days, including a midday dog walk.
When a new vacation client calls, we decide which pet sitter would be most appropriate for the job, and will call to offer it to you. If you accept, you will become their sitter, and will be called each time they rebook. With midday dog walk clients, we will keep you in a five-mile radius, and you will visit the same clients in your route, Monday through Friday.
Our pet sitters are Independent Contractors, and are paid 50% of all jobs they complete. Pet sitters MUST live in the areas we serve - right now we are looking for help in: Herndon, Reston, Sterling, Ashburn, Fairfax, and Alexandria. You must be able to pass a criminal background check, and have a valid driver's license and a car of your own.
