Dog walker
Group and solo walks on a fixed route around Richmond and Sunnyside. You'll need a year of professional animal experience and be comfortable with dogs up to 90 lbs.
Home / Careers
Work with dogs. Get paid properly.
We're growing, slowly and on purpose. If you've worked with animals before and want a job that respects your time, we'd like to hear from you.
Why join
Not a gig, a job
Most pet care apps pay per walk and leave you to sort out insurance, gas and gaps in your day. We do it differently. Everyone at Bramble & Bone is an hourly W-2 employee with a fixed route, so you know your week before it starts.
We keep routes in tight neighbourhoods, which means less driving and more time with the dogs.
