====> LOVE Cats & Dogs Interested Read on! <===What IS dog jogging/walking, anyway If you live in or close to Edmonton, then you know that many dogs are feeling cooped up, bored, and desperate for fresh air, especially now that their families are back to work and school. For our clients who work long hours - thats almost everyone in this city - we provide an outing for their pup so they can get outside, get some exercise, and do their business. We also provide New Puppy Support for potty training, socialization, cat sitting services 9am-5pm along with weekend and holiday pet care.Ive seen those guys getting dragged along by 10 dogs down the sidewalk. Is that what Dog Joggers for Dog Jogs doRight, some dog walkers work for companies that do whats called "pack" or "group" walks. We take individual pets, or pets from the same household out for jogs or walks. This provides socialization for our pups, but in a safe, controlled environment where all our dogs can be watched carefully, attended to as individuals, and our staff are not being dragged along by packs of dogs all day.Sounds nice, doesn’t itREQUIREMENTSFirst and foremost you must love all pets. (We assume that you do, or you wouldnt be reading this!) ... but beyond that, we look for someone who can master the THREE ASPECTS OF THIS JOB:Be great with the PETS! Lots of people say they love animals, but it takes a special kind of dedication to care for animals as your JOB. Neither the snow, polar vortex, nor rain.. nothing will keep you from getting to the pets in your care! Are you the kind of person who stops to pet all the dogs, but sometimes forgets to say hello to the human walking them WE WANT TO MEET YOU!Be comfortable communicating with PEOPLE! We do lots of messaging among our staff and clients, so we are looking for a new hire who can get back to us swiftly and professionally. Goes without saying, but this business is built on trust and communication is the key to that!Be adept at using TECHNOLOGY!
