We're Hiring!

Action Dog! East Bay Dog Walking is seeking a pack adventure leader to join our team.

 🐾  LOCAL EAST BAY CANDIDATES ONLY  🐾

To apply you must live within an easy commuting distance to Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA

About us: 

We have been providing off-leash hikes for dogs in the Oakland area for over a decade! We are a very small crew and we take pride in ensuring all the dogs in our care have a safe, fun, and engaging outlet for their energy. 

Our clients are people who understand their dogs need a social and active lifestyle outside of their homes. 

We pick up dogs from their homes and transport up to 6 at a time safely to an approved off-leash hiking trail for a social and active session, one group in the morning and one in the afternoon.

We lead packs using positive reinforcement (R+), force-free methods only. This means our groups are lead by calm and steady people with a gentle touch, and we do not use choke chains, pinch collars or shock collars. Just lots of treats, and lots of fun!

We’re seeking the ideal person who:

• • Has lots of experience with dogs: either living with their own or has worked in the pet industry

  • Understands how to read dog behavior and body language

  • Can keep calm in busy and unpredictable situations

  • Is highly responsible, trustworthy and dependable

  • Has excellent time management skills

  • Has excellent navigational skills and situational, observational awareness

  • Has excellent communication and people skills (it’s not just dogs ;)

  • Doesn’t mind getting dirty - we hike rain or shine

  • Has a clean driving record and lots of patience on the road / we may possibly provide a vehicle for the right candidate

  • Can pass a clean background check and give references 

  • Is able to multi-task and stay focused and organized amid last minute changes

  • Is physically capable of hiking long distances, in varying terrain and weather conditions 

  • Is physically capable of handling up to 6 dogs of various size, training history and temperament, on and off-leash

Pay & Benefits:

• • Pay is per dog - once fully trained it averages $28-30/hour 

  • Plenty of opportunities for extra work via house-sitting and/or overnight boarding are available. 

  • Our pack hikers accrue PTO for paid vacation time. 

Daily hours between 9:30am-4:30pm Monday thru Friday

We are seeking a long term crew member - we take the time to train you on our methods and ensure you are set up to succeed. This is not a summer or temporary job, we are offering full-time 5 days a week and long term employment for the right person. 

🐾 You will love being with dogs and being paid to be outside. Thanks and happy hiking! 🐾
