Independent Contractor Info

After reading what is below if you are interested in
working with Cindy's Pet Services, send me the questionnaire
at the bottom of this page.  Thank you, Cindy

I am currently looking for a part-time sitter that loves animals and wants to work with all types - Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish, Small Rodents, etc.....

I am looking for someone that lives in the Five Points Area or nearby.  
My client base is in that area, as well as the new North Hills Area, Boylan Heights & Historic Oakwood so you need to live in that area so gas prices won't kill you.

This is a Great Job for:
•  Homemakers or Stay at Home Moms
**ONLY IF you have child-care while you  pet sit, you CANNOT do a job
with your child my insurance doesn't cover that, only you!
• Responsible, mature, animal loving students with flexible schedules
• Even Retirees are welcome!!

Go Here to read what is involved with Pet Sitting!!


The hours for doing pet sitting visits are usually
7am-9am and 7pm-9:30pm.

About Vacation Pet Sitting
People go on vacation instead of boarding their dog(s), they leave them at home
and I come in and take care of them.  I don't leave a dog(s) for more than 12 hours without seeing it so for example if you see the dog(s) at 7AM you need to be back by 7PM.   Some clients do 3 visits a day for their dog(s) while they are away, I visit those clients at 7:30AM,  2:30PM & 9:30PM for last potty, you can also do cat sitting stops during mid-day hours as well.  

You CAN work full-time and do this job too, you just have to do a early AM visit before work and be able to do a PM visit at night, no more than 12hours later for the last potty break.   You can visit the dog(s) at 6:30AM for breakfast & a walk if need be, it just means you need to see the dog(s) again by 6:30PM for supper and another walk.  Unless you have a flexible lunch schedule (able to take lunch at 2pm) you would not be able to do a client that does 3 visits a day if you work
full-time hours nor would you be able to do a Mid-Day Walk.

Mid-Day Dog Walking
If you are available I could get you regular mid-day clients that you see everyday at either 12noon, 12:30pm, 1pm or 1:30pm for potty breaks for those that work long hours if you are willing to commit to do that everyday Mon-Fri, no excuses why you can't, as I have 4 mid-days that I do daily and I can't cover yours if something happens.  I work even if I am sick and schedule doctor or social events around my pet sitting schedule.   Mid-days are  guaranteed income weekly.

Live-In / Overnight Pet Care
Some clients like you to spend the night in their home while they are away.  If you don't have pets of your own and are able to do this, please let me know.  
This job would be 7-8PM thru 7-8AM the next AM.   You will be there for supper and breakfast, lots of walks, playtime, etc.....  
I charge $65 a night for this service, if they need an mid-day visit that is an additional $17 (normal rate) making it be a total of $82 a day.

Or some clients may have a puppy and need someone to live out of there home (not leave) while they are gone, this could only be done if you have no other job.   For this I would charge $100 a night and you stay there, you could leave for no more than an hour or 2 max at a time if you need to run an errand, but mainly you stay at the clients home and give the pups 24/7 attention and love.   You could only do 1 pet sitting job while you were doing a live-in, you would just leave in the AM & PM to do that visit and if you have mid-days you could still do them as well.

I currently don't offer this service as I have my own
4 animals and a husband to care for :)


To qualify, you must:
• LOVE all animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets
• Be over 21,  dependable and punctual, pets are depending on you.
• Be honest, responsible and reliable, and able to Follow Directions
• A criminal background check will be performed, be willing to take a Drug Test
• Be able to make at least a 1 year commitment
• Willing to work flexible hours early mornings, nights, weekends and Holidays

**I am always just a phone call away and I do want
you to call me with any problems or concerns**


I offer very competitive pay
I pay you 65% of the job PLUS you get 100% of any tips.
There are no set hours and I cannot guarantee any specific amount you will make per week nor can I guarantee any specific amount of pet sits per week.  It's a job that varies but during summer & Holidays you will have a good income and if you do can daily mid-days it's dependable income weekly. Pet Sitting makes very good extra money but cannot be used as a sole source of income.

We both go on the consults and meet the new client or my existing client if you are doing that job.   I stay very personal with my clients and like them to know me and whomever is working for me well, it's a great business relationship.

All Pet sitting jobs will be arranged thru me, the client calls and I schedule the jobs.
If the client happens to call you, you are to tell them to call me to schedule.

You are representing my name and my business.  
You will fill out a W9 Form and you will be getting a 1099 at the end of
the year for any wages you have made working for Cindy's Pet Services.
