Job Description

Green Paws Chicago is proud to have a team of dedicated Pet Care Specialists with a passion for animals that translates into better care. Our employees set the standard for customer service and pet advocacy; walking dogs; visiting cats/small animals; and servicing clients – the four-legged and the two-legged ones – with all the love and care they deserve. We are committed to social responsibility, constantly exploring ways that we can improve our impact within the community.

We are currently looking for a “Super Sitter” to join our team of pet-loving individuals. This is an opportunity to thrive in an independent work environment; enjoy the fresh air; get exercise walking dogs; and spend your time improving the lives of both dogs and cats earning a second income while you’re doing your full-time remote-work job.

This position entails staying in a client’s home with their pup(s) or cat(s) while they are away on vacation or work trips! We are looking for someone with a remote work job that allows them to work from anywhere. E.g., software developer, graphic designer, textbook editor, etc. If your position requires you to participate in virtual meetings, you must have flexibility to schedule those meetings at your discretion. If this describes you and your current role, then our Super Sitter position will allow you to earn additional W-2 income while maintaining your regular nine-to-five job. Pet care experience is strongly preferred. Immediate opportunities across the Chicagoland area!

Qualifications of our ideal “Super Sitter” at Green Paws Chicago:

• Excellent pet handling skills and pet intuition. You must be comfortable working with dogs of varying sizes and breeds. Prior experience with dogs and/or cats is preferred, including your own pets, volunteering at shelters, pet sitting, grooming, or training (veterinary techs, groomers, trainers)
• Dependability and trustworthiness, strong time management skills
• Excellent customer service and communication skills, able to remain professional and courteous with customers at all times
• Comfortable and adept at getting around the city safely
• Strong sense of direction and ability to navigate Chicago effectively
• Able to work through all seasons and weather that Chicago has to offer! This is a four season job and pets need to be taken care of in all types of weather
• Ability to pass a criminal background check

Benefits of working for Green Paws Chicago:

• Competitive pay
• Access to Supplemental Insurance and Retirement Savings
• Workload Flexibility …how much you earn is largely determined by you and the workload you take on (additional pay available for evening and weekend work)
• Office support to manage client relationships, route management and marketing

Our Pet Care Specialists set their own schedules, largely determining their own income earning potential. For Pet Care Specialists employed by us the full 366-day period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and who made themselves available to accept visit bookings full time, the annual gross earnings ranged from just under $34,000 to just over $42,000. Additionally, after 30 days of full-time employment, we offer optional participation in both the Illinois Secure Choice IRA retirement savings program and seven different forms of Aflac supplemental insurance.
