The posting

Pet Sitter & Dog Walker – Hamden / North Haven Area

Sarah’s Pet Sitting is one of Central Connecticut’s most established and trusted pet care companies, proudly serving local families since 2008.

While we may not always be actively hiring in every area year-round, we’re always interested in connecting with dependable, compassionate animal lovers for future opportunities throughout the Hamden and North Haven areas.

This is a flexible part-time opportunity ideal for people who enjoy working independently, staying active, and building meaningful relationships with pets and clients throughout their local community.

Many of our team members are teachers, retirees, veterinary professionals, remote workers, parents with daytime flexibility, or animal lovers looking for rewarding supplemental income close to home.

Established in 2008 • 300+ 5-Star Reviews • Locally Trusted Team

Why People Love Working With Us

  • Flexible scheduling
  • Work close to home
  • Meaningful work with animals every day
  • Supportive office and scheduling team
  • Localized routes designed to reduce excessive driving
  • Opportunities to build long-term relationships with pets and clients

Compensation

Compensation is structured per visit, with many team members earning approximately $18–25+ per hour of active scheduled time depending on route density, availability, tips, and holiday coverage.

What The Role Looks Like

As a professional pet sitter and dog walker, you’ll visit clients’ homes throughout the Hamden and North Haven areas to provide dependable care for dogs, cats, and small pets. Visits may include:

  • Dog walking
  • Feeding and fresh water
  • Litter box cleaning
  • Medications
  • Playtime and companionship
  • Detailed visit updates for clients

Most visits are scheduled within a short driving radius of your home to help keep routes efficient and manageable.

Important Availability Expectations

Because many of our clients travel or work long hours, applicants should have consistent availability during some mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays throughout the year.

Early morning availability is a major plus.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for team members who are:

  • Dependable and responsible
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Strong communicators
  • Detail-oriented
  • Compassionate with animals
  • Comfortable walking dogs of various sizes and breeds
  • Able to work in various weather conditions

Basic Requirements

  • Must be 18+ years old
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle required
  • Smartphone required
  • Ability to safely enter and secure client homes
  • Comfortable using scheduling and communication apps
  • Professional animal experience is helpful but not required — we will train the right person

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
