Pros

I had fun working for Sniff Seattle. They really support their employees, and do a thorough job training. They prioritize walker safety, and I felt good being part of their team. They also have one of the highest per hour rates around for dog walking. I started at $15/hr and got to $16.50/hr in the first 6 months.

Cons

The hours are pretty unreliable - dog owners are able to cancel their walk up until 8 am day of. So sometimes you think you are going to have a full schedule of walking, but then some owners will cancel and you only have a couple hours of work for the day.

Pros

The ownere and managers are SUPER nice and friendly! Most of the communicatuon is done via text or e-mail and everyone is always super quick to respond when you're out and about and have issues arise. This is a very large dog walking company and they do a great job keeping things organize and running smoothly. The clients are great and of course the dogs are awsome. If you can work well independently and take this job seriously, they are one onf the best dog walkers to work for! On a personal note, my dad passed away just a couple of months after starting work with Sniff. I went to work that same morning and found all the love and comfort in the world walking my doggies. If it weren't for working here and having something to look forward to each day I don't know that I ever would have been able to cope with my grief. Thank you Sniff for everything!

Cons

Dog walking is NOT for everyone...you walk rain or shine, in sickness and in health. Clients rely on you to show up and do your job. If you're not willing to take it seriously then this company, nor any other dog walking company will not be right for you.
