Walk With Us!

Calling all Spirited, Outgoing, and Energetic Animal Lovers!!

NYC Pooch is hiring multiple dog walkers in NYC for full-time and part time positions throughout various neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We look for people who are warm, caring, honest, and hardworking.It’s also very important to be comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. People skills are important, too, as you’ll be interacting with our Pup Parents every day. You must have extensive experience caring for pooches (either personal or professional) and a willingness to learn about each of our pups and their individual routines. You must be able to keep up with the physical demands of being on your feet and walking for much of the day (come rain, snow or heat wave), all with a positive attitude. Our walkers truly become part of the families they help care for, and because of this we ask for a minimum 10 month commitment. 

What is a typical day like for an NYC Pooch Dog Walker?

– Our full-time walkers generally work from 10am-6pm Monday through Friday. They are assigned to one specific neighborhood and usually walk the same dogs each day, forming a bond with each dog, and building a great rapport with each client.

Our part time walkers fill in for our full-time staff, and work an average of 2-5 days per week.  Typically you will be expected to work the entire day shift (10am-6pm) but it’s possible you may only be scheduled for half days or just a few walks in a day.

We are looking for walkers with consistent availability Monday – Friday, 10AM – 6PM.
