A Real Job. Outside. With Dogs
Not everyone wants to spend their day behind a desk.
If you enjoy being active, working independently, and having a job where every day looks a little different, The Monster Minders may be a good fit. (Loving dogs goes without saying.) We're looking for a Dog Walker to join our crew in Society Hill and Old City.
This is a weekday position, Monday through Friday, typically between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Most days include 8 to 12 walks with established clients who rely on us to provide safe, dependable care for their dogs. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, staying active, and building long-term relationships with both dogs and their people.
What You'll Do
Complete dog walks Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM
Safely handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities
Travel between clients' homes throughout the workday
Write thoughtful visit updates and communicate professionally with clients
Work comfortably in all types of Philadelphia weather, including heat, rain, and snow
Participate in paid training and occasional paid staff meetings
What We're Looking For
Strong written communication skills
Reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail
The ability to work independently and manage a field-based schedule
The ability to comfortably walk 5 to 6 hours per day
Access to reliable transportation (bike, scooter, motorcycle, or car)
A commitment to staying in the position for at least one year
Comfort working outdoors year-round in a variety of weather conditions
Confidence handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels
Bonus Points If You Have
Experience caring for dogs, either personally or professionally
Experience working independently
Experience in customer-facing roles
Pay & Benefits
Employee position (W-2), not independent contractor work
Paid Time Off (PTO) for all employees
Competitive pay plus tips
Direct deposit
Workers' compensation coverage
Consistent weekday schedule with established clients
Paid training and ongoing support
Optional social events including happy hours, book club gatherings, bonfires, and pizza nights
Why People Stay
Our employees know what their schedules look like. There is no fighting for gigs, scrambling for last-minute work, or wondering whether your income will disappear because an app changed its algorithm.
Most of our employees stay for years, not months. That's good for our clients, good for our dogs, and good for the people who work here. Just great dogs, great clients, and meaningful work. There is a better way to walk dogs.
About The Monster Minders
The Monster Minders has been walking dogs in Philadelphia since 2005. Over the last 20 years, we've completed nearly one million walks and built a reputation for exceptional care, reliability, and communication.
We're a family-owned business that believes dog walking is a real profession. Our employees are valued team members, not gig workers bouncing between app-based jobs.
