Pros

The job is super easy and the dogs live pretty close to each other usually. You can do basically whatever you want on the walk. Starting times are not enforced so you can show up late or early as long as you get the walks done. All the the rules they they tell you to follow are completely unenforced.

Cons

Never even met Jeanna in person a single time giving me not much respect for her. Hours are very unreliable. If you check your schedule at night before bed, you could have more or less dogs by the time you wake up and have a different starting time. I worked there for nearly a year and was never given any feedback on my performance. I was told that clients had complained about my service but i was never told what i did wrong by the boss and the dogs were simply given to another walker. I have a feeling they keep a short staff because everytime i asked for time off or called in sick they would say "we really need you, theres already 4 walkers out today".

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.
