Dog walker job questions

Do I need professional dog walking experience?

Professional experience helps but is not required. We look for people who are genuinely comfortable with dogs, follow instructions carefully, communicate clearly with clients, and handle urban routes calmly. Paid trial walks with our team help us assess fit — not a résumé keyword.

Is this W-2 or 1099?

Walkers join as 1099 independent contractors. You set aside taxes accordingly and maintain your own eligibility to work in the US. We provide clear per-walk pay, scheduled routes, and onboarding support — but not employee benefits.

What hours are required?

We prioritize weekday midday availability (roughly 11am–3pm) because that is when most Capitol Hill clients need coverage. We ask for at least two recurring weekday blocks per week. Early morning, evening, and limited weekend walks are available depending on neighborhood demand and your schedule.

Which neighborhoods can I work in?

We hire for routes in Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Hill East, H Street NE, NoMa, and Kingman Park. Tell us which areas you know best on the application — we match walkers to neighborhoods they can reach reliably, not a citywide dispatch map.
