Job Summary
Marathon Mutts is the premier dog-walking squad in Winthrop MA and were looking to add another human to our pack. We specialize in one-on-one solo dates (no chaotic 10-dog-tangle-messes here!) allowing you to build deep meaningful relationships with dogs who will eventually love you more than their own owners.
The Vibe Were Looking For:
You should be the kind of person who sees a dog in a stroller and thinks Thats reasonable. We need a self-motivated high-energy human who prioritizes the safety of our furry clients above all else. If youre the person who narrates what a dog is probably thinking in a funny voice youre our people.
Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It):
Weather-Proof Personal Trainer: You will walk run or jog our clients pups. This happens in the glorious New England Four Seasons: Blizzard Mud Humidity and More Mud.
The Poop Patrol: Youre not just a walker; youre a sanitation engineer. Youll be responsible for picking up gifts left on the Winthrop sidewalks and ensuring the local lawn-care enthusiasts stay happy.
Butler Services: Youll check food and water bowls providing refreshments to the athletes after their workout.
Doggy Correspondent: Youll communicate with owners to let them know their dog is a genius (or a goofball) and keep a sharp eye out for any medical weirdness during your shift.
The Non-Negotiables (The Serious Stuff):
The Golden Window: You must be available Monday through Friday 9:00 AM 4:00 PM. Specifically Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays are the holy trinity of dog walkingyou must be there. These dogs have schedules tighter than a CEOs; they dont do rescheduling.
The Getaway Car: A valid Drivers License and a dependable vehicle are mandatory. You need a car that can handle the Winthrop scenic routes and wont decide to take a nap on the way to a clients house.
Physical Prowess: You must be able to walk run bend reach and occasionally win a game of tug-of-war. You should be able to lift up to 15 lbs (the equivalent of a very dense Frenchie) and handle dogs of all sizesfrom Teacup to Small Pony.
Why Youll Love It:
Free Therapy: Get paid in puppy kisses and tail wags.
Total Independence: Enjoy the freedom of the open road (and the open sidewalk) without a boss hovering over your shoulder.
The Marathon Mutts Crew: While you work solo youve got a team of fellow dog-nerds to bounce ideas off of and complain about the Winthrop bridge traffic with.
Requirements: Prior dog experience is preferred but a massive heart for animals and a never-say-die attitude toward New England weather is essential.
