What an average day looks like at Puppy Love Pet Sitting:

We provide pet care services in the Wimberley area 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We primarily offer dog walking, pet sitting and feline enrichment visits. Our standard visit length is 30-minutes, but could be shorter or longer based on client needs. We schedule visits back-to-back, allowing you to complete them in a single shift. During the rare times a team member has only one scheduled visit, they will be compensated for a full hour.

Our team members typically work no more than one shift per day (mornings-7 a.m. to 11 a.m., mid-day-11 a.m. to 2 p.m., afternoon-2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and evening-5 p.m. to 9 p.m.), and no more than five days per week. All positions are part-time, and the level of busyness fluctuates depending on the time of the year. You may have some weeks where you work only a few hours, and some weeks where you work 20-hours.

Because we pride ourselves on delivering the same level of care pets receive when their owners are home, no two visits look exactly alike. 

Some tasks that may be included in your visits are:

• Dog walking
• Letting dogs out in the yard for potty breaks
• Playing with dog
• Cleaning up pet accidents
• Refilling water
• Feeding
• Scooping litter boxes
• Administering medication
• Bringing in the mail and packages
• Watering plants
• Taking trash cans to the street, or brining them back from the street
• Rotating lights and blinds

Compensation:

Our new hires average $15-$17 per hour during their first 90 days.

Our long-term employees average $21-$23 per hour depending on their longevity with the company.

Our pay structure is comprised of:

Hourly Wages + Gratuity (when applicable) + Mileage Reimbursement of $0.50 per mile (based on mileage driven between scheduled visits)

We operate with a tiered compensation schedule, starting at a base rate of $12/hour with 50-cent increases after the first two pay cycles, the second two pay cycles, and the third two pay cycles.

We conduct performance reviews at six-months and one-year to evaluate our employees’ contributions and discuss potential wage increases based on performance, skills development and overall job satisfaction.
