Dog Walker Jobs in Pasadena, CA
Jessica's Pawwsitive Care is building a list of experienced local pet people for future independent contractor dog walking opportunities. If you have reliable transportation, hands-on pet-care experience, and take good follow-through seriously, introduce yourself below.
This is an interest list for future contractor needs, not a promise of immediate assignments or guaranteed hours.
Small team. Personal care.
The standard is simple: treat every visit like someone trusted you with family.
A good walk is more than miles
Pet parents are trusting us with their animal, home, routine, and peace of mind. Every part of the visit counts.
- 01
Arrive prepared
Review the pet's notes, check the leash setup, and follow the household routine.
- 02
Walk one-on-one
Give each dog focused attention and choose a safe route that fits their pace.
- 03
Secure the home
Refresh water, complete the potty break, check gates and doors, and leave the pet settled.
- 04
Send the photo update
Send clear route notes and a photo update so the pet parent knows how the visit went.
What you're responsible for
These are not extras. Every walker on this list is expected to do all of them, on every visit.
Photo update after every visit
Every walk, check-in, or stay ends with a clear photo and a short note to the pet parent, not just on the easy days.
Meet and greet for every new client
You run the free 30-minute introduction at the client's home before their first booked service, and take notes on the dog's routine.
Respect every home
Keys, lockboxes, and smart-lock codes stay where they belong, gates and doors are secured, and the home is left exactly as you found it.
Follow the care plan
Potty break, fresh water, feeding, medication if needed, and the household's own routine, written down and passed on.
Communicate promptly
Arrive on time, message when you are there, and flag anything unusual the same day rather than the next week.
Keep dogs safe
One-on-one walks, quiet low-traffic routes for reactive or anxious dogs, and adjustments for rain and extreme heat.
If any of this feels like a stretch, the walker list is not the right fit yet. Pet parents are trusting you with their animal and their home at the same time.
Dependable in the details
Reliable transportation
You can travel to client homes across Pasadena and the nearby San Gabriel Valley service area.
Real pet-care experience
You have hands-on experience reading dog behavior, handling leashes, and following care instructions.
Clear follow-through
You communicate promptly, show up prepared, respect clients' homes, and document each visit clearly.
