Job description
Part-Time Pet Sitter & Dog Walker – Elk Grove - Rewarding Part-Time Work
Serving Elk Grove pets and families since 2004
Retired from your career but still want something enjoyable and worthwhile in your week? This could be your opportunity to stay active, meet wonderful pets, and make a genuine difference for local families—without returning to a traditional full-time job.
Karla’s Pet Care provides professional in-home pet sitting and private dog walking exclusively in Elk Grove. We’re adding caring, mature-minded, and dependable people to our established team.
Previous professional pet-care experience isn’t necessary. Your reliability, judgment, attention to detail, and willingness to learn are what matter most. Paid training is provided.
Meaningful Work With a Flexible Part-Time Schedule
Team members may work within one or more of the following periods:
7:00–10:00 AM: Morning feeding and pet-care visits
10:00 AM–2:00 PM: Midday dog walks and check-ins
4:00–8:00 PM: Dinner, exercise, and evening care
Pet care continues on weekends and holidays, so some availability during those times is necessary.
Position duties:
When clients are working, traveling, or away from home, you’ll provide the dependable care their pets need. Depending on the household, that may mean:
Taking a dog for a neighborhood walk
Preparing meals and refreshing water
Spending quality time with a cat or other household pet
Providing medication according to written directions
Keeping feeding and litter areas clean
Checking that a pet appears healthy and comfortable
Photographing the pet and updating the family
Carefully securing doors, gates, keys, and alarms
This is independent work, but you’ll have guidance and support from experienced leadership and fellow team members.
This Opportunity Is Well Suited to Someone Who:
Enjoys having purpose and structure in their week
Wants to remain physically and mentally active
Values doing a job thoroughly and correctly
Is patient, observant, and calm around animals
