Pet Walker & Sitter

Written By Kathryn Vorisek

Charleston Metro Area’s Elite Pet Concierge Service

Are you the kind of person who lights up around animals? Do your friends describe you as responsible, nurturing, and deeply committed? Are you looking for meaningful part-time work that feels more like joy than a job?

Walkadoodles & Whiskers, Charleston’s soon-to-be premier pet concierge service, is searching for the crème de la crème of Pet Sitters. We are building the best team in the Lowcountry—professionals who truly love what they do and who value quality, consistency, and compassion.

Available Roles & Compensation

We are hiring for the following specialized roles:

  • Dog Walkers: (15–30 minute walks; occasional 1-hour visits)

  • Drop-In Pet Sitters: (15–30 minute visits to feed, play, and provide general care)

  • Overnight Pet Sitters: (12-hour overnight stays in clients’ homes + 2 short visits the next day)

We offer competitive pay that exceeds industry standards. Specific rates will be discussed during the interview process. We also provide a holiday bonus pay structure to reward your commitment during peak times.

Who We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who is:

  • Retired or semi-retired

  • Or someone with a flexible schedule who can commit to consistent part-time work

  • Passionate about caring for animals—every animal—as if they were your own

  • Highly dependable, mature, and professional

  • Able to have availability on some weekends and holidays (when our clients need us most!)

  • Experienced in care-giving roles such as:

  • Veterinary staff or vet techs

  • Groomers

  • Social workers

  • Teachers

  • Caregivers (for kids, elders, or adults)

  • Or anyone with a strong history of caring for humans and pets alike

This is not a “pick-up-when-you-want” side gig. We’re looking for people who value commitment, want to grow with us, and understand the privilege of being trusted with someone’s beloved family member.

What Makes Us Different

We aim to be the best pet sitters to work for in the Charleston Metro area, offering:

  • Competitive pay and holiday bonus pay

  • A supportive, uplifting environment you’ll look forward to every day

  • Tremendous opportunities for growth as our business expands

  • A long-term partnership, not short-term gig work

  • A nurturing team culture where your passion for animals is celebrated

Requirements

To ensure we uphold the highest standard of care for our clients, you’ll need to:

  • Possess reliable transportation & insurance (this is a mandatory requirement)

  • Demonstrate excellent communication, time management, honesty, and attention to detail

  • Pass a criminal background check

  • Become Red Cross Pet CPR & First Aid Certified (required—if you’re not already, we’ll guide you)

  • Be comfortable using our GPS-enabled client care app

  • Demonstrate exceptional reliability and accountability

Be sure to include your neighborhood and availability when applying!
