training
Generally, a job interview is completed. If it is determined that the applicant may be a good match, the applicant then shadows a training manager or other qualified employee. Shadowing consists of attending two pet care visits with the manager/employee to get a feel for the job.
It is then determined whether or not the employee will join the team. Since you have been chosen to join our team, we have some work for you to do!
First, all applicants must agree to undergo a criminal background check.
Next, every dog walker/ pet sitter should review and sign an “Agreement” form and a W4 or otherwise appropriate tax form . Additionally, every dog walker/ pet sitter should provide the manager with an emergency contact phone number for the manager to utilize in the event that an emergency presents itself.
After that, every employee must watch the American Red Cross Dog/Cat First Aid/CPR video.
Each new employee will receive approximately 7 hours of hands-on training paid at minimum wage. Training consists of performing visits alongside a training manager or other qualified staff member.
