Join The Team

Hey there, animal lover!

A woman feeding a doodle during a pet sitting visit in Northwest Indiana.

If you’re here, chances are you’d rather spend your day getting puppy kisses than sitting behind a desk. We totally get it — because that’s exactly what our team does every single day.

The Pet Parlor is a pet sitting and dog walking company serving families across Porter and Lake County in Northwest Indiana. We’re a small, close-knit team that genuinely loves what we do — and we’re growing! That’s where you come in.

We’re not your typical employer. There’s no office, no cubicle, and no micromanaging. You’ll visit clients’ homes, care for their fur babies, and build real relationships with the pets (and people!) on your route. Our sitters say it all the time: this is the best job ever.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a retiree, a college student, or just someone looking for a flexible gig that fills your heart and your wallet — keep reading. We’d love to meet you.

Get Paid to Walk Dogs and Cuddle Kittens.

Earn $10–17/hr caring for pets on a schedule that fits YOUR life.

What’s in it for you:

  • $10–17/hr (hourly rate + mileage pay + client tips)
  • Monthly tips added to your paycheck
  • Performance bonuses, contests, prizes, and fun perks
  • Liability insurance, bonding, and workers’ comp — you’re fully covered
  • Real support from our team — you’ll never feel alone on a job
  • Oh, and free puppy kisses. Lots of them.

What the job looks like:

You’ll travel to clients’ homes and take care of their pets — feeding, walking, medication administration, litter scooping, accident cleanup, and sending updates to pet parents. You’ll also need to communicate promptly with our office and your fellow team members. Did we mention you’ll be required to play with puppies and kittens? It’s a tough gig.

Basic requirements:

  • Over 21 years of age
  • Able to pass a background check
  • Local full-time resident of Northwest Indiana (must reside within our service area zip codes)
  • Have reliable personal transportation
  • Have a smartphone with the ability to download apps and take photos
  • No pet allergies (dogs, cats, or other common household pets)
  • Able to receive regular paychecks

How much can I make?

Our pet sitters are currently making between $10–17 hourly (wages, travel pay, and client tips) while filling their dog, cat, puppy, and kitten-cuddling needs each week! Our staff say that it is the “best job ever” and one current employee says, “It’s my therapy from my other job!”
