Windy City Dog Walkers
Neighborhood Dog Walker
Chicago
CONTRACT
August 6, 2024
Company Overview:
Windy City Dog Walkers has been serving Chicago since 2002. We are a "dog walker focused company" with excellent reviews on Glassdoor! We are an A+ company because we only work with A+ walkers, businesses, and clients. We focus on the needs of the walker and find you the best possible clients to build the job of your dreams. Many of our service providers prefer smaller neighborhood routes and enjoy the flexibility of choosing their own clients, hours, and availability. Our client's dogs thrive with the consistency of having a daily walker and we find this system provides our walkers with reliable income that is more predictable when compared to other dog walking services or apps. If you love working with dogs and love working independently - this is the perfect self-employment opportunity you have been looking for!
Dog Waling Route Details:
We are currently looking for dog walking service providers to grow their own ideal routes in many of Chicago's neighborhoods. You will join our team as a self-employed 1099 contractor or independent business and choose a specific neighborhood (or two!) to work in. Our network of service requests will then be available to you to accept or deny and grow your ideal dog walking job! Our dog walking service providers can work as little or as much as they like. It all depends on what services you choose to provide and what clients you take on. The majority of our service requests occur from 10am to 4pm, so it is very easy to build a client list of 8-12 individual walks per day, but you can also choose to work evenings, weekends, overnights, or any hours that are ideal for you. You have the opportunity to supplement your route with additional walks from other walkers who request assistance. Please keep in mind that pay can be lower the first few weeks as you build your route and meet potential clients.
Job Summary:
This is a physical job designed for true dog lovers. You will be walking independently and tasked with keeping clients’ pets safe and following any instructions provided by the client. Ideal routes are normally within one neighborhood, but you will need to travel to multiple households during the day and provide your own transportation at your own cost (biking is a great low cost option!). Most dog walkers typically walk 5+ miles each day. We place great emphasis on safety, customer service and self-reliance. Most walkers work an equivalent of 20-30 hours a week, but you can take on as many or few service requests or clients as you choose. Our walkers find the flexibility that our network provides to be an ideal way to stay independent and balance other jobs, clients, or school with the freedom of self-employment.
