Welcome a cat or dog into your home and get kisses and money in return!
If you have impeccable regard for the welfare of animals and live in Manhattan below 96th Street, you may be eligible to join our network of host family homes. Peter's Pets has been matching pet owners with pet sitters since 1997 and would love to talk with you about joining the ranks of our dedicated, professional sitters and boarders. If you are interested in being considered, please email us and tell us about yourself and why you think you would be a good candidate.
Successful candidates should meet the following qualifications:
1. Live in Manhattan below 96th Street.
2. Not travel often.
3. Live in a pet friendly building and be the leaseholder or owner.
4. Have a clean, attractive and well-kept apartment.
5. Have a computer, land line and cell phone.
6. Be able to provide business references.
7. Have had a dog or cat of your own during your adult life.
8. Most importantly, must TRULY love animals!
Families, couples and singles (no roommates, please) are all welcomed to apply. We especially welcome mature, established adults who have been in the workforce for five years or longer. Persons who have experience with animals (personally or professionally) are particularly encouraged to apply. This is a part-time job offering. This should not be your primary source of income.
Please note: If you wish to take care of dogs only, you need to work from home. If you wish to take care of cats only, that isn't necessary. Also, if you wish to care for dogs only, it is perfectly fine to have your own dog. However, if you wish to care for cats only, we prefer that you not have your own cat.
Pet sitting is fun and rewarding, but it is also hard work. Done properly, it requires the utmost in care giving, ethics, attention to detail, diligence and responsibility. We have some of the finest people in Manhattan working for us. We hope you will be able to join us. Due to time limitations, we can only contact persons that we are interested in interviewing so, please, no phone calls or resumes yet.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Peter and Katie
