If spending your Saturdays and Sundays with wagging tails, happy purrs, and being trusted to care for pets in their homes sounds like your perfect weekend, we’d love to meet you. This is year-round work — not seasonal or short-term.

ONLY APPLY IF YOU CAN:

✓ Ensure Safety – Secure leashes, gates, and monitor each pet’s health.
✓ Provide Updates – Send real-time photos and notes through our app after each visit.

Important Note:

Weekend pet care is active, fast-paced, and hands-on. You’ll often handle 4–6+ visits per day, follow precise care routines, manage active dogs, and document every detail of a pet’s wellbeing — rain or shine . Reliability, stamina, and attention to detail are key to keeping pets safe, happy, and healthy while their humans are away.
