We are looking for someone who wants to help owners provide the highest level of care for their pets when they can’t do it themselves.

You should love the outdoors and enjoy playing with pets who are energetic. Our pet service strives to provide high-level care.

Location and Hours Worked
Hours vary on a weekly basis as per the need of the service (we currently provide service to Aurora & Canby, Oregon). Due to the nature of our business, we are usually providing care inside the owner’s home and as such, we are a smoke-free, vape-free and drug-free
