Dog Walker

Role overview

AMA Atlanta is hiring a part-time dog walker in Atlanta, GA for people who want extra income and a schedule that fits around other commitments. This role is best suited to someone already working elsewhere who can make weekday availability a priority. The position is centered on walking and caring for pets while delivering dependable service to clients.

Schedule and coverage

Applicants should have some availability during the workweek, specifically Monday through Friday between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. Hours are arranged around your availability, and earnings increase with the number of hours worked. Before applying, consider your commute to the service area, which includes Buckhead, Midtown, West Midtown, and Morningside.

Compensation and pay details

The pay range is $18 to $23 per hour. In addition to base pay, the role includes mileage reimbursement, 100% of tips, holiday pay, and merit-based raises. Employees are paid every two weeks through direct deposit.

Perks and support

This position includes workers' compensation insurance, bonding and general liability coverage, and on-the-job training to help you feel prepared and confident caring for animals. Employees also receive a discount on pet care. The company emphasizes that this is a W-2 employee role, not an independent contractor arrangement, and that the company covers part of employment taxes.

What the role is like

The business describes itself as an award-winning pet care company founded in 2010. The work is designed to be active and engaging, with opportunities to earn money while exercising and spending time with pets.

Who this role suits

Ideal candidates enjoy working with animals, provide attentive service, and care about pet well-being. The company is looking for people who are physically able to walk dogs of different sizes and temperaments, can follow instructions carefully, and communicate professionally. Dependability, honesty, enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and the ability to manage time well with limited supervision are also important. Comfort working outdoors in all kinds of weather is expected.

Requirements

To be considered, you must have access to an insured and reliable vehicle, own a smartphone with unlimited data and texts, and be able to pass a criminal background check. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

Additional notes

The role is intended for someone seeking supplemental income and flexible hours. Because the service area is relatively compact, the amount of driving between client homes is limited.
