EMPLOYMENT

At Barks & Recreation, this role is for someone who lights up at the sight of a wagging tail and truly believes pets are family 🧡 You’re dependable, kind, and take pride in doing things the right way – even when no one is watching. You enjoy being outdoors in all seasons, staying active, and creating meaningful connections with both pets and their humans. You’re comfortable using technology to stay organized and communicate, whether that’s navigating apps, sending updates, or managing your schedule with ease. You’re someone who values flexibility and independence, but also loves being part of a supportive, positive team that has your back. If you’re naturally patient, value positive reinforcement, and find joy in the little moments (like a happy tail wag or a cozy purr), you’ll feel right at home here 🧡

This role is not for someone looking for a quick, easy paycheck or a job where you can just “get through the day.” If you’re not comfortable working in all weather conditions, handling the less glamorous parts of pet care (yes, that includes poop 💩), or managing your time independently, this likely won’t be the right fit. It’s also not for anyone who prefers a desk job, struggles with reliability, or doesn’t genuinely enjoy building trust with animals. Our clients trust us with their pets and their homes, so we’re looking for people who take that responsibility seriously and show up with care, consistency, and heart every single day 🧡
