Description

Are you reliable (we mean extremely reliable), hard-working, and professional--and down to get a little silly with a kitten and a ball of yarn? Are you able to multitask and work independently--but enjoy a snuggle or two with some furry friends? Do you have experience handling animals or an eagerness to learn? Live in Brooklyn? Then you're just who we're looking for--and we're hiring! We're a small but growing company in Brooklyn that specializes in in-home cat sitting, and we're looking for a few reliable cat sitters to join our team. The basics: Our cat sitters visit our clients' homes for 30+ minute visits once or twice a day while the client is away. In addition to feeding and providing water for our client's cat(s), our sitters give enrichment and attention (like play, brushing, and petting), administer any necessary medication, maintain a clean litterbox, bring in the mail and perform other basic household tasks, and give daily updates to our clients. We expect our sitters to be able to identify situations in which a cat's behavior or health needs immediate attention and to communicate regularly with us about scheduling and client or cat issues. This job can get messy, but it's definitely never boring! The workload varies week to week. You'll be an independent contractor, and you'll be paid based on the number of visits you complete. Our ideal candidate: -Currently lives in Brooklyn- Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Park Slope, Prospect Lefferts Garden, Prospect Heights, South Slope, Sunset Park, Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, (or Queens) LIC, Sunnyside, Astoria. -Is reliable and punctual -Is hard-working and able to self-direct and multitask -Is super organized and detail-oriented -Has a flexible schedule of weekdays and weekends, both mornings and evenings -Is available all major holidays- MUST BE AVAILABLE CHRISTMAS and NEW YEARS -Has strong communication skills, both written and verbal -Owns a smartphone -Passes a reference and background check -Has experience handling and administering medication to animals and has a thorough understanding of pets' needs, including how to soothe a scared or timid animal (can train) -Maintains professionalism and confidentiality -Can make decisions quickly and calmly in an emergency situation -Truly loves cats!
