About additional pet sitting work.

Dog Days provides other services to its clients such as small pet sitting, cat sitting and dog sitting services. These services are generally provided by our walkers but only if they want to do extra work. We do not generally employ people solely for the pet sitting role.

Pet sitting work is ad-hoc in nature, the hours can vary and the work is done outside of the core walking hours (see website for more information). If you are interested in considering additional pet sitting work, please indicate below.

Please note - Your application will not be affected in any way if you do not want to do this type of work.
