Think you've got what it takes to lead our pack?

At Nature Calls, we are more than just "dog walkers"...

 

We are Adventure Guides.

 

Adventure Guides are a special breed - capable of walking many miles in all types of weather, comfortable with challenging terrain, prepared to handle excited dogs, not afraid to get dirty, and hungry to challenge themselves and the dogs on a daily basis.

 

We are tasked with providing love, adventure, enrichment, and engagement for every dog we serve. We do not take this assignment lightly. 

​

If you think you are ready for the challenge - along with all the rewards of caring for and engaging with awesome dogs all day - read the job description below and apply!

​

Happy Trails!

Dog Walking Hours:

​

We require a minimum commitment of 10 hours each week.
