- This is a hands-on job. You might end your shift with some dog hair, slobber, or paw prints on your clothes. Cleaning up after pets, including scooping cat litter boxes and picking up poop, is part of the work.
- You’ll need a reliable personal vehicle. This job involves driving to clients’ homes and sometimes transporting pets in your car, such as during group hikes.
WHAT EMPLOYEES SAY ABOUT SHP
BRITNIE
“Working at SHP has proven that nature is very healing. Being able to walk/cuddle pups and spend time in nature has really helped my anxiety and depression.”
kaleigh
“Shoreline Happy Paws is such an amazing company to work for. Adriana and the company make it so easy to get started and did a great job showing me the ropes. If there was ever a problem in the field, they would always get back to me ASAP and help me out with any problems or give me the guidance I needed to solve it myself. They have a lot of flexibility and all the latest apps and technology to make things easy. They always had my back and also were amazing and understanding with my schedule as a mom. There are great perks to the company as well, and they always provided me with the supplies I needed. I’m so grateful and thankful for my time at SHP.”
ABBY
“I really enjoy being around animals and getting to learn their personalities. I’m also glad that I can provide people with a sense of relief that their animals are taken care of while they’re away.”
