In this crucial role, you’ll be the go-to person for handling last-minute and emergency pet care needs.

  5. Urgency & Response Time

    • Respond promptly to urgent visit requests. Quick decision-making and swift action are essential in this role.

    • Earn a $200 monthly stipend by completing a minimum of 30 visits per month. If fewer visits are completed, the stipend is pro-rated.
    • Receive a 60% commission for each backup visit, rewarding reliability and flexibility.

  • Comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
