Positions with Prancing Poodle
- Mid-Day Dog Walkers
- Must be available to walk dogs, Monday through Friday between the hours of 11 AM & 3:00 PM. The number of dogs you’ll walk on any given day will vary, based on the clients’ schedules and when they need pet care. You must be available all these days and all these hours.

We’re Looking for Long-Term Relationships
Prancing Poodle is interested in working with sitters who want to build a long-term relationship with our company and its clients. These are NOT good positions for those trying to find interim work while in-between jobs or trying to “figure-out” what their next career step is. Our clients come to trust their assigned Pet Care Assistants and appreciate it when they’re able to grow a trusted relationship with that person.
Prancing Poodle reserves the right to have Pet Care Assistants (employees) who are only providing pet sitting and dog walking services for Prancing Poodle Pet Care Services. We prefer not have sitters on our team who have their own service or currently work for another service.
