Do you love dogs? Want to be part of something larger than just a job?
Woofer is building a movement to reimagine dog walking and we’re recruiting our first group of Founding Pack Walkers to launch this revolution. This is a special opportunity group to get our business off the ground - with extra incentives!
As a Woofer Walker, you’ll be a core part of our mission and get more than just work - you get freedom, respect, and real earning potential.
Why Walk with Woofer?
- Work exactly when you want. Full-time, part-time, weekends - your choice.
- Earn a guaranteed $28/hour walking income plus special incentives.
- Instant pay: your earnings go into your account as soon as a walk is completed.
- Fully flexible schedule - YOU decide your hours and routes.
- One-on-one walks (no group walks) - you and the dog, building trust and having fun.
- Use our sleek, modern app for everything from scheduling to post-walk feedback - it is all built-in.
- Exclusive company swag, local events, and direct community support.
You’re not just walking dogs, you’re helping build a new standard in dog care.
Walker Requirements & Expectations
To maintain trust, safety, and legal compliance, we require
Basic qualifications:
- Must be 18 years or older

- Must have a valid government-issued ID
- Legal right to work in your jurisdiction
- Must own and use an Apple iOS or Android device
- Must have the sufficient mobility to safely and efficiently complete walks
Background & trust standards (for your safety and ours):
- A comprehensive 10-year criminal background check, including national, state, and county records
- Consent to checks of sex offender registry, watchlists, and aliases
- Identity verification (SSN trace, government ID matching)
- References (past pet care / walking experience will be prioritized)
- In certain regions, we may require additional checks (e.g. motor-vehicle record if walking near roads, local ordinances)
Responsibilities:
- Arrive on time to scheduled walks
- Handle dogs safely, kindly, and professionally
- Use the Woofer app for check-in, walk path tracking, and post-walk report

How To Apply & What Happens Next

A Few Notes on 1099 Status & Compliance
- As a 1099 contractor, you retain independence (you choose when and how much you walk).
- You are responsible for your own taxes and personal insurance (Woofer provides insurance coverage for all walks).
- Woofer will not control your day-to-day methods (no forced route, no mandated hours), which helps maintain your independent contractor status.
- All background checks and personal data handling comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and local privacy laws. We will require your written consent before checks, and you have rights to dispute inaccuracies.
- We follow non-discriminatory policies — we apply the same screening rules to all applicants regardless of race, gender, religion, national origin, or disability.
