Job for me

[lolli94]

Any suggestions for a job working with dogs? I really don't enjoy the job I have and I would love to work with animals. I applied at a pet store near here but I guess they don't need me.

How old are you? Married? Any kids? How many hours do you have to devote to a job - full or part time?

Pet sitting or a dog walker comes to mind.

Young, single, no kids. I still live with my parents and can work 4 days a week.

I'd try other grooming places or maybe see if anyone needs a dog walker in your area. www.care.com is a good site to offer pet sitting services.
Also www.indeed.com is a good site to search for jobs in your area. Just put in your zip code and what you'd like to do in the search engine. I've found most of my jobs there. Good luck!

I was much like you a few months ago. I had worked at an amusement park for four years and I was kind of over that job at this point. It was seasonal so I was never making money in the winter either. I liked it enough, I LOVED my co-workers and still do (most of them), but I got sick of the favoritism and all so I decided it was time for a change. Anyway, I wasn't really looking for a job but saw an ad in the paper for a local kennel/doggy day care that had just opened. I e-mailed them immediately and they told me to fill out an application. A week later I was working there on a week trial period, which was over in 3 days. Needless to say I love it, I enjoy my co-workers and I LOVE the dogs.

It took me years to finally get a kennel job so it may take awhile. I also wanted to say it does happen when you least expect it. Just to clarify, I work at Camp Bow Wow, it's a franchise so there are quite a few around. I see you live in Indiana and I did a little search for you. I don't know where you live in Indiana but there's two within the state.

I have a 30 minute commute to work, which is the farthest I've had since I began working at 15. They need people who are reliable, willing to clean throw-up, poop, & pee. Obviously, you can't be scared of dogs either. Not big dogs or pitbulls or any of that. It's a good place to work. I hope you find something close to you. Good luck.

Thank you so much everybody! I looked at the places you mentioned, Allyser. They looked perfect but are 2- 2 1/2 hours away
