Woofer Dog Walker

Do you love dogs? Want to be part of something larger than just a job?

Woofer is building a movement to reimagine dog walking and we're recruiting Woofers - our dedicated dog walkers - to join this revolution. This is a special opportunity with extra incentives!

As a Woofer, you'll be a core part of our mission and get more than just work - you get freedom and you give back, because every walk contributes to a local rescue organization saving dogs.

• Work exactly when you want. Full-time, part-time, weekends - your choice.
• Earn a guaranteed $28/hour walking income plus special incentives.
• Instant pay: your earnings go into your account as soon as a walk is completed.
• Fully flexible schedule - YOU decide your hours and routes.
• One-on-one walks (no group walks) - you and the dog, building trust and having fun.
• Use our sleek, modern app for everything from scheduling to post-walk feedback - it's all built-in.
• Exclusive company swag, local events, and direct community support.

You're not just walking dogs, you're helping build a new standard in dog care.

To maintain trust, safety, and legal compliance, we require:

A Few Notes on 1099 Status & Compliance

As a 1099 contractor, you retain independence (you choose when and how much you walk). You are responsible for your own taxes and personal insurance (Woofer provides insurance coverage for all walks). Woofer will not control your day-to-day methods (no forced route, no mandated hours), which helps maintain your independent contractor status.

All background checks and personal data handling comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and local privacy laws. We will require your written consent before checks, and you have rights to dispute inaccuracies.

We follow non-discriminatory policies - we apply the same screening rules to all applicants regardless of race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability.

Be More Than a Walker. Help Build Woofer.

As a Woofer, you'll have influence. You'll weigh in on:

• Best practices & policies
• App features & feedback
• Community programs
• Bonus structure & incentives

If you believe dogs deserve better, owners deserve trust, and Woofers deserve dignity - apply now and walk into a bold new future with Woofer.
