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.

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.
