Oxford, CT, US
Summary
Provide professional pet care services including feeding and exercise for various animals in client homes. Maintain consistent routines and provide detailed updates and photos to pet owners.
Job Description
RCO Pet Care is growing (again!), and this time we're on the hunt for a very specific creature: the evening person.
Our RCO family keeps expanding, and late afternoons and evenings are where we need the most help right now. We're looking for someone to cover our 5-9pm window - the sacred hour(s) when dogs need to pee, cats need dinner, and clients need to know their furry family is ready for bed.
We are looking for someone so reliable their Google Calendar trusts them.
Someone who genuinely loves animals and appreciates that professional pet care is a real job with real responsibility.
Someone who can follow detailed instructions, send the world's cutest pet photo updates, and doesn't flinch when a client's chihuahua wakes up and chooses chaos.
The requirements:
MUST have consistent PM availability starting at 5:30 PM (or earlier) through at least 9:00 PM, most weeknights and 1 weekend (Extra availability beyond that window - mornings, middays, weekends - is a huge plus and means more hours for you.)
MUST have own reliable transportation and be able to consistently service clients in Oxford, Seymour, and nearby towns (This role requires frequent travel between client homes.)
MUST be trustworthy, communicative, and detail-oriented. Our clients depend on accurate updates and consistent routines.
MUST be comfortable working independently while also being part of a supportive, drama-free team
Bonus points if you:
- Love sending photo updates as much as clients love receiving them
- Can handle both a 95-lb loveable goofball and a 6-lb chaos gremlin
- Are the type of person who triple-checks they locked the door (we see you and we appreciate you)
The details:
- Part-time, typically 5–20 hrs/week depending on your availability outside the morning window
- W2 employee (not contractor)
- Paid training
- Mileage reimbursement
- Ongoing support
- Holiday stipends
Spend your workday exploring with pets, brightening people's days, and becoming someone's next favorite human!
