If you're fresh out of college, living the stay-at-home parent life, or between jobs and craving something fun, active, and meaningful, this might be your perfect transitional role. At Barks & Recreation, we don’t just walk dogs; we build trust, create joy, and give pets their best lives (and help their humans breathe easier while we do it).

Whether you’re figuring out your next big move or testing the waters of the workforce, this part-time job offers flexibility, skill-building, and plenty of fresh air and of course lots of doggy kisses.

  • Provide love, attention, and professional care

  • Document visits & take wall worthy photos of the pets in our care

  • Grow into new roles and areas if interested; admin, marketing, training, social media, HR and more!

What You’ll Need:
